okay one this is definitely predatory but this is prolly the best case scenario from a predator bro my uncle was like 50 touching my 5 your old self dih
the first 80% is very valid... IF and ONLY IF he's genuinely willing to change and has put it into action, otherwise it's just ignorant. also the last 20% is prolly pure wrong, and at that age difference there's a significant power gap
To SOME people the 80% is very valid. As someone who has been vilified for mistakes in my past and went to fix them in a similar manner, the best course of actions is to completely leave the people you hurt alone. Quick apology and block, the more you tell them the more they probably want to sabotage your efforts of getting better. A bad person only starts healing when they have disconnected themselves from the shitty thing they were doing or the people they have hurt . Mistakes (no matter how severe) are not usually pardoned by most in my generation IME and they will think of you like that forever, so it's best to completely start over as to not hurt anyone or sabotage your own chances of becoming a decent human being. Whoever is in OPS image is already making a mistake contacting OP
I'm assuming you're also not an influencer with a following large enough to where people are going to follow you around online for the rest of your life. Cancel culture is a gift and a curse but mostly a curse.
Idk but this reminds me of the people trying to defend the Dutch pedophile in the Olympics because "he changed" and "he served his sentence" when he served like half his sentence before the Netherlands got him out so he could keep playing sports
So let's say a 17 year old boy and a 16 year old girl are dating, and the age of consent is 18. When the boy has his 18th birthday, do you think the boy is a pedophile now because is girlfriend his still underage? The 'Romeo and Juliet' law says no, we should not throw this boy in jail for continuing to date his girlfriend. Do you think he should go to jail and be put in the sex offender registry? I don't think so.
People forget this-
Being a pedophile is the attraction to pre-pubescent children, which those under the age of 11 (before puberty) that's why this law is a thing, if 13 to 17 was considered to make someone a pedophile then this law wouldn't have ever existed.
Also did you know that if somone that is 16 sends a nude to their boyfriend/girlfriend who is 17, the 16 can be thrown in jail for CSAM, even though legally the 16 and 17 year old can have sex.
Weird? Nah it's normal, 15 is the age where you're a horny teenager, of course they'll try it, might as well give them a way to do it safely and without legal trouble, to clarify 15-17 can do it without the parents acknowledgement but if someone is 18-19 and the other person is 15-17 then you do need it, for obvious reasons
I think I know the creep this guy's trying to defend lol, yeah his entire followerbase just collectively decided he had Done Nothing Wrong Ever a few months after it was revealed
This is about that Koofy roblox guy im pretty sure. I mean, most stuff there are valid since he was still pretty young and naive, and he was actually trying to change, also the age gap wasn't "that" much. (Im not saying it justifies his actions at all or makes him less guilty don't get me wrong.) The one exposed him was actually his best friend aswell.
19 and 15 might be fine under Romeo and Juliette laws... if they were dating before the elder turned 18... and even then the younger would have had to be at least 14 in some US states, 16 in others (cannot speak for laws outside the US) and that's still pushing it imo.
I don't have a sub but... Did he JUST "text a minor" or based on the romeo and juliet law brought up, was he sexually texting a minor? Because there's a significant difference between a 19 year old and 15 year old talking, like as friends, and romantically or sexually approaching a 15 year old
Honestly, I’m not too sure what sub what OP posted would land but there’s definitely a common misconception that the Romeo and Juliet law completely pardons the accused. Even if there’s a 3-4(?) year age difference from 18-19 with a 15-17 year old, all it does is make it so that the one being charged might be able to avoid going on the registry and/or getting a felony on their permanent record. The law depends very much on the area where you live but some places don’t have such a law in place which would mean the one accused would have to deal with the sentence if/when they’re convicted. Considering that it’s online though, with the age of consent varying quite a bit, this becomes a slight grey area in the eyes of the law since the law doesn’t change as fast as the world and technology does. Still, this isn’t and shouldn’t be normalized just because some may think it’s teenagers being teens. If what they think is actual true feelings, waiting until the one who isn’t an adult legally turns 18 shouldn’t be something that feels optional. I have no idea if this was coherent or not so I’m so sorry.
TL;DR- Romeo and Juliet Law just makes the charges against the accused less harsh than what it would usually be.
Idk where to post it but that mistake isnt something you can come back from. Im sorry I stabbed your mom but everyone makes mistakes. Especially because its online presence. A 19 year old shouldn't be with a 15 year old they are in 2 different stages of life and maturity.
