    The state prosecutor in Vesoul said he faced charges of making sexual advances to a person of under 15 years of age, and of soliciting an image of a minor for pornographic purposes.

    So, while I get that this man could be dangerous and needs help… How exactly can you charge someone with propositioning a 21 year old who was pretending to be a 14 year old?

      If he believed the person was under 18 I don’t see the difference, he understood it was immoral and illegal, why it was illegal and chose to do it anyway. If it was an undercover cop posing as a child it would be just as illegal

        “I understood they were 21. The fact that they were an adult roleplaying as a child was understood by both parties, and it was obvious, given the wording they used. Roleplaying is quite common on dating apps. Roleplaying as a different age is so common it even has a name, age-play. When I messaged the other party, I thought I was pursuing an age-play dynamic with a consenting adult.”

          Gavel, gavel: maximum sentence! No chance of parole. No retrial.

          I’m surprised by this. What did you think I was going to answer?

          The maximum sentence thing is a joke, by the way, don’t read into it. But do think about this: who exactly are we protecting by giving the opposing answer? Roleplayers? Roleplayers should still know with certainty that they’re talking to an adult. I’m not taking negotiations on this.

    So just let me hand over my autonomy over to the capitalist pdfiles so they can go and entrap sick low level players so we can maintain the perception of improvement. If we had better things to do we wouldn’t be fucking around. L00ps, p00ps and dupes. Like we are committing a genocide but at least you captured the rapist pervert. Like a tooth pick in a volcano… marginal gains… inconsequential metrics to put on a show for grandma. phuck your chat g!p!ty beach… I want trees, clean water and sheet. What a dumb a$$ future

          This shorthand ruined my job for me. Can’t open a .pdf without thinking about terrible things happening to children. I don’t understand how everyone is just okay obsessing over this shit when all it gets you is angry.

              Plenty of people are angry. Anger is not the thing we’re lacking. I don’t want to think about pedophiles while I work. They’re gonna keep existing whether or not I get mad at em while I try to read a document.

                So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell:

                “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m going to continue to take more because it’s distracting me at work.”

                  My man, I just don’t want pedophiles needlessly occupying my attention. Shit doesn’t even affect me. I have no kids. I know no kids. I’m just a grumpy old man shouting at clouds if I decide to be angry all fuckin day. You go be the change you wanna see in the world.

      “Low level pedophiles”? uh… fuck em all of every “level” as if the victims of “low level pedophiles” are less victimized or something? Pedophiles are like Nazis in the sense that every single one needs a boot on their throat, I don’t care what their rank is.

      I have zero problem catfishing pedophiles and I think it’s bizarre anyone else would
