I might have told my brother about him, but nothing big. We were talking about the Dateline stings of guys going there to meet young girls.
those should be illegal
Definitely entrapment. I agree.
No, it's not "definitely" entrapment. 
Not saying it's ok for people to exploit pre-teens in Southeast Asia, but Dateline sure as hell flirts with entrapment.
You have to make someone to do something they wouldn't ordinarily do in order to qualify for that. I really don't see how offering someone sex with a fake 12 year old only to arrest them as soon as they're stupid enough to show up falls under that.
You don't have to make them do anything. If you suggest committing a crime to someone & they do it, that's entrapment.
Actually it's not, at least not in the vast majority of cases. You have to prove that the person under ordinary circumstances would not have committed the crime essentially. The simple act of suggestion doesn't constitute that unless there's some sort of implicit threat involved or other harassment generally for that reason. This is Criminal Procedure 101 type stuff.
