Facts: Muhammad Abbas Jaffer, arrested during "Project Raphael" for responding to an ad by an undercover officer posing as a minor on Backpage.com, was convicted of child luring-related offences.
Issues: Whether Jaffer was entrapped and if personal circumstances (undiagnosed Asperger's Syndrome) should affect the entrapment analysis.
Ruling: The appeal was dismissed. The Court found that Project Raphael was a bona fide inquiry and that Jaffer was not entrapped. It concluded that the police had reasonable suspicion and that inducement-based entrapment did not apply, as the police conduct did not go beyond providing an opportunity to commit the offence.
