Since the hearing I have seen posts which indicate things like maybe it was not really a minor but someone posing as one.
I wanted to start this thread for discussion about the minor and how she factors in, possibly to the searches about statutes regarding age of consent and maybe even those pertaining to how to survive prison.
I did not catch this at the time of the hearing because I was reeling with the revelations. Stoddard has met and interviewed the 17 year old. and Has also tracked down and interviewed another female sexting partner who is above the age of consent.
Which is why they are looking at charging him for internet crime of trading pornographic images via the web with her. It was also mentioned in the hearing that there may be charges leveled regarding his having actually physically met the minor.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Now, did you actually -- have you located every one of these girls that he's had contact with?
STODDARD: I have not. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Have you located any of them?
STODDARD: I have located two of them.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. The first one, I won't use the user name, but I guess let me, for lack of a better term, the older one, did you speak with her?
STODDARD: I did.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And what did she say?
STODDARD: She stated that she had first met Ross, and she knew him as Ross, through Scout (ph), which is another messaging service. And that he had met up and that he wanted to hook up with her.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And did she talk to you and confirm the nature of what you saw on these chats back and forth?
STODDARD: Yes, she did.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. Now, I'm going to turn your attention, was there also another girl that you met, and that you've spoken with?
STODDARD: I have.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And how old is that girl?
STODDARD: She is 17 at this time.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: How old was she when the defendant began these -- http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1407/03/cnr.05.html
