Title shamelessly stolen from video.

The man in question is Joshua Wesley, writer and “star” of the garbage film “2025”.

Apparently, he was her camp counsellor when she was 12, they started dating 2 years later when he was 20.

    Isn’t this post just a criminal confession? Like how has his local PD not picked him up after this?

      Only if the blurred text is about sex. Don’t think it’s illegal to “date” a 14 year old.

          I hate that it sounds like I’m defending it but no, it only becomes illegal when you hide it.

          But Mr. Pedo here can pick his 14 year old “friend” up from her parents every night for dinner and a movie and no laws will have been broken. We all know that he still groomed her but this post isn’t an actionable confession

            Yeah, it only becomes illegal if he talks about sexual subjects with her or initiates any kind of sexual contact.

            Realistically speaking, though, over a six-year “relationship”, it’s highly unlikely that something didn’t happen, but this is my first exposure to any of this, so I have no idea.

              The dude’s a creep who almost definitely did more than just “date” - he’s a Christian nutjob. No doubt in mind he did some diddling before her 18th birthday.

              Apparently the age of consent is at least as low as 14 in some states, at least that’s what the police said, then you have Romeo and Juliet laws I think one you have to be dating for 2 years or something.

                I replied to this from my main account but it hasn’t shown up.

                They’re German afaik. He’s a maga type, the “film” he made is about Christianity being illegal in the west and covid is just a hoax. It’s a really dumb film, here is the snark:

                https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D152lWYtMuA

                It’s worth watching (the snark, not the film). Bit about “finally 18” is at around 7 minutes.

                  From the same video:

                  @Coatguy222 — 2 years ago
                  I’m German so I understand their language and I watched a video of them where they said that they met up when she was twelve… TWELVE she said that she didn’t wanna be with him at first but he was the pushy one. I’m honestly sick to my stomach

    I thought “people jump to conclusions very fast, maybe that guy turned 18 a year prior and they started dating when both were minors”, but then opened the post and nope, pedo.

    Camp counselor? I’m just shocked he wasn’t a youth pastor. There’s another thread ongoing about the Death Note book, and this guy should definitely be a candidate.
