Under senare år har situationer uppmärksammats där vuxna personer via internet kontaktat personer som de uppfattat som barn i sexuellt syfte, men där motparten i själva verket varit en vuxen person, ofta bakom en profil tillhörande ett fiktivt barn. Sådana situationer aktualiserar frågan om straffrätten bör ingripa mot ett handlande som framstår som klandervärt och typiskt sett syftar till sexuellIn recent years, situations have attracted attention in which adults have contacted persons online whom they believed to be children for sexual purposes, but where the other party was in fact an adult, often behind a profile belonging to a fictitious child. Such situations raise the question of whether criminal law should intervene against conduct that appears blameworthy and is typically aimed at
