Someone solicits a female on the Internet for sex, thinking she's 15 years old. Turns out she's a 44 year old FBI agent (or Not Me). How do you charge him?

Is entrapment a crime with which you could charge him, or is it just a defense (I haven't thought about criminal law since about five minutes before the end of my crim law exam first year)?
