Hi, UKBobBoy! Thanks for your responses. I greatly appreciate you spending time to give a detailed answer.

Although, if I may say so, your responses only prompts me to ask even further questions. Firstly, in regards to the "grooming," according to what the young man told me, it does not completely sound like the 26-year-old was truly "grooming" the 14-year-old. From what the young guy told me, they were both seemingly okay with the cam sessions and, in fact, the boy had even initiated some of them; he had even masturbated for the 26-year-old on his own terms, un-requested by the 26-year-old. There doesn't seem to be any "lowering of the child's inibitions" involved, as they both were arguably on the same level of sexual interests. (One cannot hastfully assume that just because a young man is 14-years-old he doesn't "completely know" what certain sexual acts are and that he can't "completely consent" to them, even if the law does make it legally that way. In this case, according to the boy, he knew and he consented!)

I'm not saying that I agree with the older guy having cam sessions with someone he's legally not supposed to be. I just don't believe, attempting to being fair-minded, that the young boy is completely innocent either. Speaking on a personal level, of course. (I know the law will simply say that he's completely innocent because he's a minor.)


Secondly, I'm a little troubled as to how IP addresses and ISPs can increase the chances to be THAT good; it just seems a bit sketchy. First of all, internets could be logged off of anytime. No IP addresses could be detected with internet signal from that computer, right? Secondly, consider Laptops. Laptops, being able to move from place to place, would probably give the offender an advantage to blur his true location; the fact that the location of his IP address when the 26-year-old was dectectably on the internet with the 14-year-old is possibly not permanent could make it difficult for police to know the actual current whereabouts of the older guy, thereby giving the 26-year-old some hiding places. I mean, that's what seems logical to me.

Finally, if the computer he was using is not mobile and is using a DSL, what if the ISP is not registered under his name? (Beside from that, remember that they don't know his real name. All they're told is that his first name, unknown whether or not to even be real, is "Tony".)

On a sidenote, I intuit that someone who knows he's in trouble with the law would obviously not leave his IP address open to be caught. Even he/she knows that that would be stupid luck for him/her, for that individual might as well just drive to a police station and turn him/herself in. lol


p. s. "RGHRGH" is read by each individual letter. It's not meant to be pronounced like a reading word. (well, if you must do so, I guess you can call me "Ruh-juh Rug-juh haha)
