I don't quite understand where this "40 y/o pervert" has broken any laws by simply having his webcam on. Where is it written that if a kid stumbles into a room of naked adults, that those adults are guilty of some crime.
It would be different if the adult went into #pokemon showing his dick to kids, but you're talking about an under cover FBI agent specifically joining adult channels. If people choose to leave their webcams open for anyone to view, they have no control over denying someone who wishes to say they're 13... nor should they have to. 13 y/o's don't belong in adult areas, and parents have to take a certain level of responsibility for their actions (or lack of) when they leave their kids unsupervised.
I'm counter-aruging that the presence of adult channels on IRC is not going to make things safer because FBI agents are not (can not) going to clean up after these channels.
