“Seems like a bit of a SETUP.”
I don’t think they would use a 16 yo going to counseling.
What better cover story, who better to get to do the dirty deed.
Can not use someone who is actually 18 and looks a lot younger.
A police sting? No. That's a felony if they tell an underage girl to go that far. Someone with money who wants to take down a pro-gun voice and has reason to believe the girl will not talk about that aspect of the set up? Definitely.
