It was probably phrased poorly, sorry. There is a limit somewhere when a crime is being done; obviously you’d want to stop that as early as possible to protect the victim, and punish the offender as such.

In this case, considering none of these people have actually seen the “children” with whom they were supposed to have sex, I find it hard to justify that a crime was about to be done. More than that, the crime was physically impossible, because there was no actual children. It’s particularly bad when following a 24 years old lady is taken as implying that you want to rape a 13 years old girl.
