The main piece of evidence (the chat) can be altered. For all we know, the 18 year old actor could have been presenting themselves AS an 18 year old, and it was changed after the fact. They do a copy and paste job on their own websites, and it's not like that can be hacked at all.
I'm not saying these people are good people are even decent people. In the cases where they in fact did initiate the chat, good for them.

1 in 6 or less... Yeah, good thing we're getting that 1, even though we may be needlessly ruining the lives of the other 5.
