Is Congressman Wiener or any individual liable if they twitter a minor but are told they are adult?

[justgetitright]

I seem to remember some TV show where pedophiles were caught going to the homes of young people for sex and they claimed that they did not know the person was that young. Did not make any difference since they were arrested as soon as the left the house.

Obviously a minor can lie, such as lying about their age to enter a porn site but these sites normally request validation of your age (normally a credit card) so it is really up to the person sending the material to ascertain that the person is an adult.

I would think that the girls account will be investigated to see if there are any messages to Weiner regarding her age, or any material on he page that would indicate that a reasonable person would think that they were a minor.

Weiner was asked if he could guarantee that no nude pictures of him were sent out and he said "No I can not guarantee that" The reason he could not give a guarantee is because he knew that they had been sent.
He was also asked if he could guarantee that no minors received any of the photographs and again he said "No I can not guarantee that" Now the only question is did he say that because he knew that they had been?

It would be unbelievable to me that the girl would not have had some correspondence with Weiner without ever stating that she heard him speak when her school visited DC.

This bastard needs to go to jail
