Possible defense in To Catch a Predator type sting?

Townshend was writing his autobiography, and is generally believed by people who have listened to the album Tommy.

Very few crimes, IIRC, are strict liability. After all, one man’s restraining duct tape is another man’s electrical gaffer tape. That sort of thing is a judgement call - does the judge/jury believe these were restraint tools? What else are they? Luring - when the transcript is read, does a judge/jury reasonably believe that’s what happened? It’s a judgement call.

Strict liability would be something like stat rape or sexual assault - did your body make contact with the following areas of her body and was she underage? Possession of drugs - does the stuff you possess test positive for forbidden substances in the lab? Even then, note “possession” is a debatable concept. Speeding - did a radar clock you going over the posted limit? DUI - did a breathalyzer record you over the explicit limit?
