I would have thought this was entrapment. Is this somehow not entrapment?

It is, indeed, entrapment.

I thought entrapment was the one thing cops couldn't do. Were the lawyers defending these people just completely incompetent? Were the victims just gaslit into thinking this was legal? It just feels like the prosecutors and courts had to be complicit to allow this to go on for so long.
