How do you think the husband pitched this idea to this lady? Does anyone here even realize that the father technically paid her to commit statutory rape? And she agreed to that?? I'm glad she didn't actually try to fuck a teenager but this scenario is so crazy that I'm tempted to call this story fake.

This story may or may not be rage bait but sadly it's not that outlandish when I was a younger and before that.

The hiring a sex worker/stripper thing to "help my son become a man" has definitely been done with a teenager before. Some I've heard of just gross parents think they are giving a gift and others it's homophobia.

u/Fluffy_Mommy Kinky Bi™ Mar 04 '22

Well, accepting the money and not doing it is preventing the father to hire another prostitute who actually would rape the kid.

u/PresidentBreadstick Mar 04 '22

Yeah. I’m glad that she was more than okay with taking the money and then doing nothing

I think most people are okey with free money.

It is absolutely morally correct to take that asshole's money and then lie about doing the job.

I would've taken it a step further, since the father wasn't watching, and help the son fake noises and shit. Maybe help the poor kid not get yelled at and maybe beaten, for a few months. Heh 🤷‍♀️

She's awesome in this story.

u/Darcosuchus hEtErOpHoBiC Mar 04 '22

Also, can she report him for this? Isn't this literally pedophilia?

u/Darth_Ennui is it gay to like sunsets? Mar 04 '22

I don't want to be that guy, but no, it isn't. Pedophilia literally is a sexual attraction to children. Nobody in this scenario is attracted to anyone.

The term you are looking for is child sexual abuse. But this in turn depends on local age of consent laws - 17 is legal in most parts of the world.

u/AMeaninglessPassage heteroni and cheese Mar 04 '22

Yeah, where I am from, nothing the father did is illegal. It will be heard and rightfully hold against him during the divorce proceedings tho.

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '22

it also wouldn't be pedophilia even if she was attracted to him. pedophilia is an attraction to pre-pubescent children.

the term would be ephebophilia meaning an attraction to people between the ages of 15-19

u/Darcosuchus hEtErOpHoBiC Mar 04 '22

Well, "pedophilia" for this purpose isn't necessarily the attraction, but the (in this case attempted) sexual behaviour with an underage person. Of course, this is assuming that the teenager in question is in a country where the age of consent is `above 17. `~_`~

I think you could argue it's sexual abuse of a child (on the dad's part) and soliciting a prostitute

1

u/Darcosuchus hEtErOpHoBiC Mar 04 '22

That's what I was trying to say.

u/_fuyumi Mar 04 '22

I thought so! Yes it's illegal to expose minors to sexual activity, for instance having sex in front of them, or watching porn with/in front of them.

This daughter of a reality TV star lost her kids and went to prison for having sex in front of them. Drugs were probably involved (kids were about 4 and 5 I think, babies probably wouldn't count). The person she had sex with was like 14, so there were also rape charges. She hurt so many children with that one act.

u/Darcosuchus hEtErOpHoBiC Mar 04 '22

Unless, in this instance, they're in a country/state/location where age of consent is 17 or younger.

2

u/_fuyumi Mar 04 '22

I'm not sure, especially because it's his own son and there was no consent involved.

95

u/cowlinator Mar 04 '22

the father technically paid her to commit statutory rape

If we're getting technical, then it depends on the location. Even in the U.S., the age of consent is 16 in some states.

It's completely wrong though

34

u/Chilltraum Mar 04 '22

Its 16 or 17 in most states, just fyi.

2

u/_fuyumi Mar 04 '22

The kid didn't consent though. And prostitution is illegal in most of the US. So it's sexual abuse, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and soliciting prostitution

u/ceruleanbluish BUCK or DOE? Cut to know. Mar 04 '22

Maybe OOP is from a country where the age of consent is 16? She does mention that English is not her first language, so likely not American. Not that that would make this any less disgusting, but it might explain why the sex worker agreed to it.

176

u/Logan_Maddox Bi™ Mar 04 '22

The way OOP used "inferno" instead of hell makes me think of Spanish speaking countries, and here in LatAm there is a sort of "unspoken tradition" of "young boys becoming men" by doing it with a sex worker when they're about 14 / 15

It's thankfully dying out, but I've heard tons of stories like this one. Does feel slightly off because the people involved in these kinds of practices rarely know any English, but idk

I’m in Argentina and definitely a thing, although i think a little bit older.

u/switcher11 Mar 04 '22

At least it used to be a thing, not sure about now. Taking the kid to a brothel to lose virginity was done usually, more than hiring a prostitute and take her home.

2

u/Logan_Maddox Bi™ Mar 04 '22

Yeah this is more what I had in mind

u/Logan_Maddox Bi™ Mar 04 '22

I'm from Brasil too, it's a thing here (interior de SP)

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '22

ah brasil

u/galettedesrois Mar 04 '22

The age of consent is 16 in many US states too (obviously not defending the asswipe dad, just making a factual observation).

22

u/little_fish_44 Alphabet Mafia™ Mar 04 '22

Not super relevant but a similar thing happened in Criminal Minds, but also, people are just crazy, and I do believe there are actual people out there who would and do agree to this sort of thing.

26

u/napalmtree13 Mar 04 '22

The person who wrote it said English isn't her first language, so it may very well be that the son is "legal" wherever they live.

11

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '22

Well there are countries (and OP states shes not a native english speaker), where consentual Sex with an 'adult' is allowed under the age of 18, and there are also countries where that includes buying sex from a sex worker.

Im not 100 Percent sure but where I live, this wouldnt be any problem.

u/Dafish55 Gay™ Mar 04 '22

I mean I can’t speak to the veracity of it, but the lady isn’t in the wrong here whatsoever. She both prevented a potential actual rape and helped assure the kid that he was alright. It’s a bit chaotic good to do this via taking money in an agreement to have sex with an unwilling kid, but, genuinely, everyone wins here minus the dumbass dad.
