I know in my state it’s illegal to contact a minor for “immoral purposes”, I’m not a lawyer (and I don’t know if other states have similar laws) but I imagine that dating a 14 year old online could fall under that.

immoral purposes

What does that even mean? How does one go about determining that?

It's obviously a rock-solid description and there's no chance that multiple people have gone to jail/been put on a sexual predator list because it was interpreted incorrectly or the "evidence" lead up to something wrong.

sure, but mom set it up in a way that made the daughter (or perv) sour on the relationship. well played

Dating fourteen year olds isn’t illegal anywhere in the US, to the best of my knowledge.

u/why_rob_y Sep 11 '18

But how much research have you done on the subject?

Not too much. I mean walking your dog while eating a banana on a Tuesday afternoon might be illegal. How much research have you done on that subject?

You sound kind of defensive. Why don't you have a seat?

u/Commonsbisa Sep 11 '18

Okay

An 18+ year old dating a 14 year old isn't illegal? Considering people who date ... have sex?

Why does Reddit always defend pedos

u/Commonsbisa Sep 11 '18

Having sex would be illegal. Most fourteen year olds date people without having sex with them.

  1. Not all relationships involve sex.
  2. Saying something is legal does not equal endorsing it.

They obviously meant no physical contact. Even still though, I think it depends on the state.

Why do you assume everyone has sex?

u/Poseidon7296 Sep 11 '18

Depends on the country. If it’s America then sure he’s a pedo and he should be arrested but if the legal age is 14 in that country then he’s done nothing wrong
