I imagine online grooming is a very specific offence

One wouldn't be charged under freedom of speech or inciting etc.

I guess more opinion should be free than active solicitation.

In your example, I should be free to say I find children attractive ( I don't, but you get the point)... when I actively attempt to groom , I commit an offence
