Two men, aged in their twenties, are on trial in Fribourg for attempting to lure a suspected child molester online.
They pretended to be a 15 year old girl and set up a meeting with a man who contacted the fake profile.
But instead of calling the police - they tried to blackmail him, demanding CHF 400.
