Last week in a landmark decision, a US court released two men who were charged with... trying to lure what they thought were 13-year-old girls into indecent proposals, over the internet. But the state's case was considered weak as actually on the other end it was an undercover cop posing as 13 year old girl.

A Superior Court judge on Friday upheld his original rulings to release without bail two men charged with the said crime. Michael Bohaczyk, 24, of Blackwood and Daniel Morris IV, 33, of Mantua, had been charged on different dates with attempted sexual assault, luring or enticing a child, and endangering the welfare of a child as part of a sting operation conducted by the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Cyber Crimes Unit.

The state's argument focused on the part of the law saying that "a person commits a crime ... if he attempts via electronic or any other means to lure or entice a child or one who he reasonably believes to be a child ... with purpose to commit a criminal offense."

The state's entire case is based on "fiction," argued attorney for Morris. "There was no 13 year old,"  he added.

Judge questioned the strength of the state's case against Bohaczyk and Morris because the men were not actually talking to a young girl and released Bohaczyk on his own recognizance last Friday after a bail hearing, but did the same for Morris without a bail hearing.
