This is the story
He went on a dating website, met a cop that said she was 20 and then she decided to get a hotel room, and then told my friend right before meeting up she's 15, friend said that's too young and stopped responding, but then they had a female cop called him and told him she's okay with it, it's not a big deal, etc and he ended up going.
So again, if I found out he was seeking under aged girls, or he was into that shit, or had child pornography in his devices etc, I'd be thinking about this situation differently.
He's not a pedophile by nature but what he did puts him there.
I agree with all of you, especially fathers who have daughters. But what if you had a son, brother, father that made that mistake, would you turn your back and not try to help
