To be clear. I’m not defending a rapist. There is some nuance though. The guy was 19 and she said she was 16. They’d been chatting for months, and he flew to the UK for her, believing they were in some sort of relationship. He found out her true age after this.

Was he being naive thinking it’d be alright. Oh yes. Is it still wrong? Definitely. Should be have been punished? Yep.

Is he a pedophile because he had sex with a girl he was in love with and should he be punished for the rest of his life? You tell me.

Two months ago I started using Kagi as a Google alternative. It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes not having to wade through a list of sponsored links first and actually getting the results I want.

Now you shouldn’t be using his own words against him. That just makes him look like an idiot.

I remember seeing her at the 2016 Olympics in Rio thinking she’s going to dominate this thing so hard the coming years. It’s so sad her career and personal life have been derailed because of some predator. Amazing to see she’s doing better!

That’s rough. Is there any way to reverse the damage done?
