It's certainly a relevant story, and the story itself doesn't suggest that it is somehow tied to the new regs. In other words, I don't think it's trying to spread fear. You may have assumed that when you first saw the headline, or others may have assumed that, but it's not suggested in the story. What's interesting to me about this story is I hadn't heard that ANYONE was prosecuted under the old regs. That's odd. It shows that the DOJ has been thinking about 2257 for a while now, and it looks like they tested using it in this case with this pedophile.
