Eric Thorton, then 26 years old, initiated a chat with a person he believed to be a 14-year-old girl named "Liz," who was actually a Perverted Justice decoy. From the start, Thorton expressed his attraction to the decoy's photos, referring to them as "hot." He suggested video chatting and reassured the decoy that he would not behave inappropriately.

He offered to drive over four hours to meet her and requested permission to spend the night. Chris had other plans for Eric.
