But i would imagine given what they document... the chat logs, people giving the girl pics of their genitals, the graphic descriptions of what they want to do and what they expect to do once they arrive, traveling to the girl..., crossing state lines for the purpose of... etc etc there ends up being a litany of charges as is usually the case for what appears on the surface to be a simple crime and they would vary from state to state.

Tonight we?ll tell you what has happened to the nearly 130 men who surfaced in our continuing investigation. 98 of those are now facing criminal charges going all the way back to September 2004 when we set up our first undercover house in Long Island, New York.
It was during that story you met a New York City firefighter named Ryan Hogan who had a sexually charged online conversation with a decoy posing as a 14-year-old girl. Hogan later exposes himself and masturbates on a Web cam. He has since been terminated from the New York Fire Department and has pleaded guilty to using the Internet to transmit obscene material to a person under 16. He faces up to 16 months in prison and must register as a sex offender. He?s scheduled to be sentenced next month.
At least five other men have also pleaded guilty to various charges related to what they were seen doing in our stories, including Joe Wunderler who showed up at our hidden camera house outside of Washington, D.C. Wunderler, an army intelligence officer, pleaded guilty to federal charges of attempting to entice a minor to have sex. Federal guidelines call for a minimum sentence of 5 years in prison.
That was also the investigation where we met a rabbi named David Kaye. He came to the house after an explicit conversation with a decoy posing as 13-year old-boy. Just last Friday , the U.S. Attorney's Office in Virginia charged Kaye with attempting to entice a minor to engage in an illegal sexual activity and traveling with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct.
There have been significant developments in the cases of several of the men who showed up at our hidden camera houses. Tonight we?ll go all the way back to the beginning to bring you up to date.
