If I'm going to meet someone IRL I would have chatted on video camera with them, and also done a drivers license check over such. So it's quite easy to do, and if they don't want to that raises an alarm in my head. IRL the easy way to do it is to compare drivers license photos. Even if they are not a driver, chances are anyone 18+ will have a non drivers ID in the U.S. Really, no one should get offended at being asked for ID. I never am.
Yeah it could be fake, but if it looks reasonably real you have a solid defense. Prosecutors will factor that in there in deciding if charges should proceed. They don't like losing a case, so if you do take precautions they might decide it's not in their favor to pursue
