What are the men caught on Dateline NBC: To Catch a Predator charged with?

Perhaps someone in law enforcement or a legal expert can give me the answer.
We’ve all seen Chris Hansen expose these child predators and are happy to see them get caught. The police then handcuff and lead them away. My question is that since the “13 year-old” girl they’d just been wooing on the Internet, and are now trying to instigate sex with, is really an adult and not a minor, what are they charged with? What law are they actually breaking?
Also, how are they able to give out their names and show their faces? Aren’t they required to sign a document before NBC can broadcast this? I know people love to be on television but I can’t envision anyone caught trying to seduce someone who they think is a minor giving permission to air it.
