I find it alarming that an under age kid is on a random hookup app like grindr, the parents should be prosecuted for neglect along with this guy.
I wouldn't care at all what sexual preference my kids grow up to have but they are going to have enough self respect and awareness to not take stupid risks like that.

I noticed you left out the age of the "child".
He was 17.
Washington's Age of consent is 16.
Even so, perhaps it was legal if that's the case, no matter there will still be people who are disgusted and revolted by this.
Me and my sons father used to have a friend who slept with 16 year old girls because "it's legal in our state"
And I told that twat if I had a girl he was never welcome over again. Well I had a son, but I decided he still wasn't welcome over ever again.
So some people, like me, don't care if the law says 16 is legal, I'm still going to be revolted and disgusted by a grown ass man (OR WOMAN) sleeping with any child that young.
So i get where you're saying they perhaps didn't do anything legally wrong, but once your deeds are out in the open you can't control how society views it.

I always like it when somebody plays the "so are you saying" and then comes up with some ridiculous thing and expects me to defend it as if I said it, rather than it being something they pulled out of their ass.
Here's the problem: in your rush to jerk yourself off over thinking you've "got me" you've missed a few key points: I do know what prepubescent means. It means before puberty. Puberty starts for the overwhelming majority of people before their teens. Pedophilia is an attraction to pre-pubescent children. Not post pubescent. Not pubescent. Pre-pubescent. Meaning before puberty has started. The commonly accepted cutoff to define somebody as a pedophile is when their interests skew to kids over 13. I don't have a math degree but I'm pretty confident 14 and 15 are both after 13.
You'd look pretty silly making # up and attacking me over the # you made up, then asking me if I know what terms mean when you yourself clearly don't. You'd look pretty silly calling me a liberal, as well. Unfortunately you've already done that, though, and here we are.
Don't confuse my having a better understanding of the subject matter than you do for defense of the act. Just because you fell for the click bait and I didn't is no reason to get upset at me over it. Sandusky molested kids as young as 8, which is (surprise!) prepubescent. Ergo, he's a pedophile.
You'd do well to read the entire thread before showing your ass, for what it's worth. I already said based off his previous convictions the guy is probably a pedophile, regardless of the age of his most recent victims.

I'm sorry you're so ignorant that you equate understanding what pedophilia is and isn't with supporting sexual violence.
That's your problem, not mine.

It was consensual, but illegal. Why do you care? It wasn't miscegenation. That's what you are really concerned about, isn't it?

So consensual acts by African Americans are being called "rape" to keep your narrative. Black lives do matter, even if they commit a crime.

I might be the only conservative Christian here that agrees with the liberals here. This is highly sensationalized. BLM is rotten, but that has nothing to do with these specific charges for the purposes of common sense.
23 year olds meet and date 16 year olds commonly. There was a time when a woman became emotionally mature more quickly than a man. So I think if this was heterosexual in nature, conservatives wouldn't be losing their collective minds. Not a fan of gay, I've been hurt by gays, but I know how to be unbiased.
