Keith Jacobson was convicted of violating the Child Protection Act but his conviction was overturned due to entrapment. In another case, a petitioner was convicted of ordering child pornography, claimed entrapment as a defense, and took the case to the Supreme Court. The government had targeted him, engaging with him through a fictitious organization, but the court found that there was not enough evidence to prove that he was predisposed to commit the crime before being approached by the government.

The most relevant fact to the court's analysis is whether or not the defendant was already inclined to commit the crime before being approached by government agents.
