Right it is also worth noting that under Minnesota law, if her were simply going to sleep with a 17 year old girl (or even a 16 year old) who was consenting without coercion or payment, that would be legal. The thing that was illegal here was the solicitation, the offering of money to a minor for sex. So he's not even just a sleezeball that likes to find young girls that will sleep with him, he's a sleezeball who can't do that without some sort of incentive, so he offers money instead.
