Pedophile week continues over at LA... in this episode a minor who appears to have been groomed wants to know how to stop the 30-40 year old guy she was corresponding with from getting in trouble and how to avoid obstruction of justice charges

You know, I felt a bit bad for her.

Then I realised that

a) She's not cooperating with an investigation. She is ONE victim, there could be many more. Sure, she's okay with it, but anyone preying on people under 18 is scum imo anyway

b) She deleted info specifically to not get a guy into trouble, who is more than likely also preying on people OTHER than her.

I have zero issues with how she sees herself as "Not a victim".

She's 17 though, that's not so young that she can't understand how she's hindering an investigation in which there are others who WILL see themselves as victims.

For context, I'm 24, and I know I wasn't this oblivious to something like this 7 years ago.
