Я люблю слова с конкретными определениями.

Строго говоря, entrapment подразумевает возможность какого-то предосудительного действия, а тут вообще ничего нет.

Не совсем. Entrapment exists when an innocent person is lured by the police into committing a crime they otherwise had no intention of committing. The two elements are 1. crime and 2. intention.

Here one could argue, as you do, that there was no crime, since there was no actual minor, but I believe "attempt to commit" is just as punishable. On the other hand one could argue that there was no intention before the police made their lures, and that would depend on the particular circumstances, for instance on who it was that first suggested sex.

Энтрапмент предполагает подстрекательство к чему-то предосудительному (например, положить рядом с собой кошелек и следить, кто попробует украсть). Но нет ничего предосудительного в том, чтобы нравиться тринадцатилетним женщинам и даже встречаться с ними.

It is reprehensible, morally and genetically, for

to arrange to have sex with anyone, in my opinion.
