The strategies of using common chat room jargon, leaving the conversation gap for a few minutes at a time, and pretending to speak to “her” mother multiple times would lead many to believe they are truly speaking to a young girl. Leaving the conversation gap from time to time allows the officer to prove that the other individual was leading the conversation, and wanted to speak to “her”.
