I'm not making a case to defend an individual who's out there on the Internet, but if the individual is communicating with an 18-year-old there's nothing illegal about it. If a person is communicating with a 17-year-old on the Internet there is something illegal about it. You're saying it is appropriate and a good thing to do to change the sentence from a five-year maximum to a ten-year maximum because that would make a difference. You wouldn't be doing this if it didn't make a difference, I'm sure.
