These men are being charged with using the interent to make contact with children for the purpose of sexual encounters. Seems pretty clear cut, especially when they are showing up with condoms.

(Take the sick part out of it.)

Yeah, but they are not real children, like the cops that set up johns aren't real hookers and drug stings aren't really selling drugs. Obviously some laws have been written to allow police to do this.... I don't understand how it doesn't apply to other crimes. If a cop stopped a guy waering a big coat in the summer for intent to shoplift it's profiling. Is the fact the "vice" squad handles this part of the reason it works?
