QUESTION

Asked on Oct 03rd, 2023 on Internet Law - New York
More details to this question:
I am a minor who found a suspected pedophile + Child trafficking ring. From a pure legal standpoint (ignore your morals), could I pretend i am getting groomed by these users until they commit a federal crime (requesting/sending nudes for example) and have that evidence be admissable in court against them if I could verifiably connect their real Identity to their online identity?

You could be setting yourself up for liability with trying to out them by yourself. Your best course of action is to contact the police or FBI for assisstance.
However, I always caution people not to enter the legal arena without speaking with a lawyer first to avoid any unintended consequences such as your having sent pictures as a minor.
