Answer:
Entrapment occurs if the conduct of the investigating officers or their agents in dealing with the defendant would “likely” have induced a normally law-abiding person to commit the crime with which the defendant was charged. Entrapment does not result merely because officers created a situation which made it possible for the defendant to commit the crime. This is because it is presumed that a normally law-abiding person would resist the temptation to commit a crime if officers did nothing more than give him an opportunity to do so. Therefore, a law enforcement agency does not violate the law prohibiting a minor from purchasing intoxicating liquor when they conduct "sting" operations like you have described.
