Warning - Things Get Real On Here!

@Handfull1 I don't like the term "hormones" being used in reference to men because it makes him sound like some beast like creature who can't help his desires.

We need to make sure that this doesn't become an excuse to justify crimes. Especially when we all have responsibility to not abuse or hurt others - more so when we are potentially dealing with children.

@HootyTheNightOwl again I’m not justifying anything. Cause and effect is not the same.

@HootyTheNightOwl I think you can find that the number of women who have been sentenced for sexual assault crimes in the form of teacher misconduct with a student has increased dramatically in recent years and I don’t believe that @Handfull1 was actually trying to justify anything with her comment. I think it’s been misinterpreted. But once again to everyone who is in this thread it’s not just about male sexual assault. The original story above was written about a male user who is now in the penitentiary but I believe that the warning was issued to all adults who are on this platform and who interact with anyone because they might be interacting with a minor lying about their age identity etc. So just be careful and be aware. Things may not be as they appear or easy to spot as a minor who is obviously lying and the penalties will be severe for anyone convicted of committing a crime. That’s my take away at least and I’m grateful for the post because it’s something that should be taken into serious consideration when you are on SW or any other part of the web for that matter.

@masterofyou I was waiting for name calling. Thanks, you met my expectations.

@Zeusdelight well you asked for it ..

@NativePortlander1970 True, but it doesn't.

@Musicman Sadly so, too many prosecutors want those easy convictions.

@NativePortlander1970 Yep!

@Queendragonfly
Exactly!!

@HumanEarth honestly, I don’t!

They lie to us

@HumanEarth probably some!

@MsSwan guys can’t figure this out! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@Handfull1 This is the site where they would do the nasty with their own mothers...

@HootyTheNightOwl definitely some would!!!

@Handfull1 And if you think something is suspect, be sure to hit that report button. That's what it's for. The admins would rather have faulty reports that aren't actually of kiddie porn than people afraid to report it if it is.

@Mikedewars Even then, you're not guaranteed safety...

@Keeper not a victim. Was never my intention. I was trying to open some people’s eyes. I also try to not be as judgmental as some. None of us are perfect and I think the Bible mentions humility somewhere! But shoot away if it makes you happy!

@Keeper That depends on how you see it. It sounds to me like he was talking to what he believed was an adult - because of the 18-21 age range... then it later transpired that the real victim was just 17 at the time of the crime being committed.

Obviously, there's more to the story than we know here - but it certainly highlights the need to be very careful of what you are doing and who you do it with... because you never know who is hiding their true age behind a higher age bracket.

@HootyTheNightOwl absolutely.

@SW-User Yup. Trust no one.

@Maturebate true, but my gut instinct has generally served me well over the years. One just needs to listen to it!

@Handfull1 oh but actually under 18? OK, thanks for the clarification

@firefall I think this happens more than people think.

@Handfull1 you're probably right. It certainly did back in EP

@Axeroberts no one really knows 100% of anyone. Even our closest family & friends!

@Midlifemale Thinking she was of age.

@Handfull1 Yes it can. I have a favorite place I like to go for breakfast and lunch. I enjoy chatting with the waitresses there. The youngest just graduated college last fall. The oldest is in her 40's. But, it never goes past chatting. They are all married or have boyfriends anyway.

@Musicman It's called perversion for a reason.

@Handfull1 agreed. It certainly can

@SomeMichGuy this is what mostly did it. Guys should think about the pics they send! Having sex with her was still a misdemeanor but the pics sent are a felony. You’re correct that the pics received were child pornography. He’s awaiting sentencing.

Child Enticement-Expose Genitals/Pubic Area/Intimate Parts

@Handfull1 That's why I ONLY send these picks


to MINERS...

@Handfull1 Well, that's a different thing, Ma'am.
But in my country its no problem too if its consensual and she is 14+.
What did he with her in personal, Ma'am?

@Handfull1 Ma'am, can you answer my last question please?

@jackrabbit10 nothing shocks me anymore but there’s still plenty that don’t think it can be real.

@jackrabbit10 perhaps tell by tone of conversation, topics discussed ??

@jackrabbit10 who would ever pretend to be 61-69 and be 14? Maybe if I was 80! 😂😂

@masterofyou definitely not all tho!

@Handfull1 It's growing.....

@Massageman maybe the former one also! 🙄🙄

@Handfull1 @Massageman

More like the former POTUS:

@Guardian yes it is.

@Handfull1 i restrict by age who can contact me, but people lie about their age. Happened in another place that a girl claiming to be 22yo, but was 16yo, started chasing me until I blocked!

@LvChris who ever painted anyone as a victim? He’s getting punishment for his bad choices.

@LvChris Do we even know the age of this person? Would you say the same thing if it turned out to be a 20 year old guy? Really? 🤦🏻‍♀️ Omg..

@Handfull1 Regardless, the 17yo girl would still be charged, convicted, and sentenced, in many jurisdictions.

@NativePortlander1970 in many ways, I would like to see at least some charge.

@Handfull1 Check your state laws on it, if they do not have it, have your state representative or senator sponsor a bill to charge minors for producing and distributing their own selfies if they're pornographic in nature.
