    @Mike:

    I agree, however, the part that concerns me about this guy is that the girl asked him to leave her alone and TOLD him she was underage. His affections were unwanted, so I imagine to receive pictures of his parts was a bit over the top for the girl, and that’s why he’s in jail now. He got reported. 17.5 or less is irrelevant in this particular situation. He was sexually harassing her. He was arrested with the correct charges since he chose not to stop.

    Who cares if she was was 12 or 17.5? She told him no & that she was underage!

    How old was the girl? There is a big difference between underage 12 yo and underage 17.5 yo when the guy is 21.
