Over three months, the former federal agent, under the screen name Moto-Broc, engaged the man who called himself Cobra82nd and RightBi-Guy in instant-message conversations. The exchanges are in turns offensive, ironic and saddening. West is the first to bring up the topic of sex with a boy who says he's 17. But when Moto-Broc complains that his parents don't give him enough...
