Nope. Nothing illegal there. That's why the cops always want the Emailer to show up to meet the kid. Then, you have an overt act. In this case, they knew each other. Even at 16, I doubt if there would be a court case. I agree. I was thinking this morning about the Dateline show, "To Catch a Predator." They want the guy to show up, typically with some specific item mentioned in the chat or IM's so they can tie him to those messages. As you note, it's the overt act of being there that pushes it over the line from talk into soliciting a minor to have sex. Addditionally, if the kid is over the age of consent (16 in DC I understand), soliciting for sex wouldn't be illegal in any event.
