Also, here in the U.S., if you pay an underage girl to have sex with you, or her pimp, even if you don't get to have the sex with the girl, you are guilty of soliciting. The only way Wells could get away with his soliciting charge is if someone from 60 Minutes obtained a permit for them to conduct an investigation of this nature in the country of Thailand. Although, Wells's argument would be that he never solicited a girl for prostitution because all you heard him say was, "I've changed my mind, he can keep his money." My point is that they made it look like he was paying for sex with a 15-year-old but you never actually saw it happen.
You only heard lines from Ed Bradley and John Wells stating certain key phrases, that would make you believe that a solicitation was actually going down. Plus with a little help from the friendly editing room, you've got a very convincing performance. My hat is off to 60 Minutes. They are the best at this sort of stuff. The show should be called, "Sixty Conspiring Minutes, or Sixty Conniving Minutes."
Getting back to the lobby scene, you then see the Thai male walk out the door of the lobby with the young Thai girl skipping along behind the Thai male. Bradley narrates again and says,
"At that moment, the young girl's relief is obvious."
What was obvious? That she's happy when she's skipping out of hotel lobbies? Again, 60 Minutes would tell us more lies and
neglect to show us one shred of evidence that any sex with underage girls is happening.
