Is this a pedophilic situation?

[Anonymous]

I know an 18 year old woman who has been chatting with this 46 year old Canadian guy ever since she was 14 years old. They have been friends for a while until they have became romantically-involved with each other after the event of her 18th birthday. She has never even met him in person, but now he plans on immigrating to the U. S. only for the exact reason of being with her. I personally think this whole thing is creepy and unjustified, knowing that this guy probably preys on other children.

Yes.

No.

In some ways, yes. In other ways, no.

Their both legal so now its pretty much up to them not to screw it up from here. A lot of the time now a days guys aren't looking for a girlfriend or wife that is going to mean they can go travel the world. Now most guys just want a stay at home cuddle wife. XD. Buy them some cute outfits and just be cozy at home is kinda the dream life style now a days with the pandemic and all.

Which this kinda is the like catch 22 to all the harpies telling young women they need an education and what not when really all a guy wants is just a pretty hot girl they can go home to and then spend the night/rest of their life with. The so called post wall ideology is simply coming faster and faster for those who aren't awake to the reality. The whole idea of get rich and then retire as a fantasy is the largest joke in the entire world at this point if most people die from covid at mid 20's now. The hot thing now is to get a girl knocked up and have a kid struggle to take care of the new wife and child and just enjoy the life of being a parent. I don't think anyone anymore is really focused on building massive amounts of wealth. Other than those who are already rich and can afford to keep raking in the heaps of money.

18 years old is NOT a child. She can make her own decisions. Some girls are attracted to older men. Some have had crushes on them since an early age and are now old enough to act on it. Everyone has their own preference.

Be careful not to push your preferences and opinion onto other people. As long as they are legitimately into each other, wish them the best...

[artstatues]

Well, she's an adult now, so technically it's legal, as long as he didn't do anything with her until she was 18.
Having said that, it's super creepy that this guy would be attracted to such young girls, young enough to be his daughter..

Nah I think homie just played by the rules, he jumped into the loophole there, he was a pedo but a controlled pedo that knew he had to wait and did until it was legal, I got nothing to say about that 🤷🏽

If she was sending inappropriate pictures to him and sexting before she was 18, it would be pedophilic. If not, then no. But it is a weird situation. I do question people who are middle aged being attracted to young adults.


I know a 21 year old who is very mature for her age, enjoyable and fun to be around. If she was in her mid-20’s I would probably be interested in a romantic way, but as it stands 10 years is hard for me to accept, 20+ is kind of gross to be honest.

He didn't actually do anything until she was 18, and even a 14 year old isn't really a biological child, so no it is not. Rather creepy that he would go for a HS girl in his 40's, yes, but not pedophilia.

Maybe not quite a pedo situation but it’s certainly grooming. The man is a creep for talking to underage women.

[Shamalien]

in my opinion that age gap is too large in my opinion... but so long as they were just friends until she was legal it’s none of anyone’s business but her parents in my opinion

[OddBeMe]

Ehh, yes in general. Because that’s grooming. Now whether he could be prosecuted, not sure. If the girl has evidence of him “sexting” a 14 yr old, that could be enough.

[nawtee_me]

To be a pedo they would have had to have sex while she was a minor. If they have not met in person then probably no sex either, right?

[Dchrls78104]

The guy would be a paedophile if the 18 year old were not a legal adult in her country.

[jshm2]

What's paedophilic is your spying on their situation without legal authority and making assumptions.

[Asker]

She's my friend who asked for my opinion, dumbass.

[joeldalton]

Yes. He is a groomer.

[ImNoOne111]

Very creepy and weird but no pedophilia in my idea

[bbear07]

so creepy

[Girlygovroom]

Grooming.

[clemdenim]

Both are adults
