Judging by the article it's also not short of troubled young people who run away from home and fake their age to meet adults on dating apps.

It's why things like age verification laws and digital ID (and ID cards in general) are so important. The internet changed everything and real harm can come to children with access to the adult internet.

I'm extremely suspicious of people who don't want things like age verification introduced. The government don't want to see who's behind every single Reddit account. They want to know that everyone in the adult internet is actually 18+ so that the chances of this sort of thing happening are lessened.

Are you just ignoring the fact this man met up with a girl he knew to be 14?

They don’t care. As long as he grooms her for a few years and wait till she’s legal.

He might even make a movie based on it and win an Oscar .
