Let's give it up for the bride and groomer

Title shamelessly stolen from video.

The man in question is Joshua Wesley, writer and "star" of the garbage film "2025".

Apparently, he was her camp counsellor when she was 12, they started dating 2 years later when he was 20.

Isn't this post just a criminal confession? Like how has his local PD not picked him up after this?

Only if the blurred text is about sex. Don't think it's illegal to "date" a 14 year old.

What.... I mean it's 1000% illegal to "date" a 14 year old, that's just grooming

I hate that it sounds like I'm defending it but no, it only becomes illegal when you hide it.

But Mr. Pedo here can pick his 14 year old "friend" up from her parents every night for dinner and a movie and no laws will have been broken. We all know that he still groomed her but this post isn't an actionable confession

Yeah, it only becomes illegal if he talks about sexual subjects with her or initiates any kind of sexual contact.

Realistically speaking, though, over a six-year "relationship", it's highly unlikely that something didn't happen, but this is my first exposure to any of this, so I have no idea.

Can you point out the law that makes it illegal?

Camp counselor? I'm just shocked he wasn't a youth pastor. There's another thread ongoing about the Death Note book, and this guy should definitely be a candidate.

Oh, I couldn't be less surprised.

I thought “people jump to conclusions very fast, maybe that guy turned 18 a year prior and they started dating when both were minors”, but then opened the post and nope, pedo.

Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

  • Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
  • Posts with little-to-no context
  • Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
  • Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
  • "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.
