Students vs. Sex Offenders

Even after students at Washington State University head home from class, they’ve got a long list of things that have to be done: Write a lab report. Do the laundry. Or, perhaps, take part in an online sex sting. Last year seven students at the university hit the chatrooms as part of a program coordinated by the local police department. The students, posing as adolescent girls, arranged meetings with older men—at which point police officers stepped in to arrest the marks. The program has resulted in seven arrests, but skeptics may wonder if college students should be spending their time scouring the Internet for would-be sex offenders. (KOMO-TV)
