Again you did not answer my question. That says it all. You're biased. Age limit is a social construct. That's why different countries have different age limits. She has 3 children now and she is not a single mother. They didn't do anything inappropriate to get charged for it. Only people who are judgemental would consider this wrong.
What question? That stupid question about if moi read their convo? It's not relevant at all.

So not only you don't understand what is grooming, you apparently also don't understand legal and ethics. Not legal means it's right ah? Hopefully you get beat up one day and realize mata tell you it's not illegal and you go settle yourself.

I don't think you all understand what grooming is lol. It's not simply age gap, ppl don't care if 80 year old marry 40 year old.

Problem with this is that they met when she was 13 and he waited "groom" her to be a couple at 18. This is classic grooming, adults exploiting kids. There is right and wrong to be judged on this, simply due to her being a 13 year old kid.

Groomers do marry them, see celine dion case too(12 year old and 38 year old)
If the 21 guy has romantic feels for the 13 girl…then purposely waits for her turns 18 to get together….that is grooming…

if they church-mates and friends, then when she 18, they starts going out for dates and then romantic attraction happens during that year…then not grooming….

cos how long you wants to extrapolate? How about when she turns 30? Or 50? Still considers grooming as long as once upon a time the man knew her as a teen?

Those who say grooming, is assumption. How you all know his actions and words had effects on the girl's marriage choice?

How you all know he did stuffs that would lead to an outcome whereby the girl would marry him in the future?

Girl probably already puberty and had feelings on her own, cannot be she the one to brainwash the guy to wait for her to turn 18 to get married? Don't forget we just had bullying cases of schooling children, so children also not stupid and can plan motives ones.

Likely he had groomed the child, but not for certain unless you had knowledge of his actions over the years.

What question? That stupid question about if moi read their convo? It's not relevant at all.

So not only you don't understand what is grooming, you apparently also don't understand legal and ethics. Not legal means it's right ah? Hopefully you get beat up one day and realize mata tell you it's not illegal and you go settle yourself.
Of course it's relevant. Because to accuse one of grooming requires proof. Else it's baseless accusation. You're in fact dishing out baseless accusation and saying your accusation is right without showing proof. There is nothing more absurd than this.

And you're in fact contradicting yourself by first saying it's not simply age gap and then just basing on their age, you determine he must have groomed her. I initially thought you have evidence to substantiate your claim but no. You're merely biased.

Yes. I don't think you understand grooming, it's not when the kids turn to adult or when they start to date - like if he waited for her till she 50 years old.

It's grooming as long as it's a kids being involved with an adult outside the norm. Teacher and student in school no issue, but if they meet outside it's an issue.

21 year old should not be friends with 13 year old. That's highly inappropriate simply cuz she is a kid.

Grooming involves actions listed in:
(a)section 354, 354A, 355, 372, 373, 373A, 375, 376, 376A, 376B, 376C, 376EB, 376ED, 376F, 376H, 377(1)(e), (f), (g) or (h), 377B(3), 377BA, 377BB, 377BF, 377BG or 377BH;

Huh? Proof is him being involved with 13 year old k

Again, do you think grooming is him sending his pp pics and not simply texting with her about god / school?

Please don't use the word bias if you don't understand it. There's no discussion on this, 13 year old kid with an adult is grooming regardless of their convo.

They could be talking about how great jesus is, idc cuz it's still grooming when an adult is being friends with a kid.

it is super normal for the 13 the under 30s to hang out….

ministry work, small groups, gaming nights….bible study….music stuff like playing in a band…..list goes on…..

I knows where you coming from now….fair enough…..

if a 30 yo guy keeps going movie dates alone with a 15 yo old….and if the guy has certain express and implied authority over her in a formal environment…. Then ok…that is grooming

Ain't that a problem for a church? Like saying it's wrong but it happens a lot in church so it's okay cuz holy than thou. Pedo is wrong but happens a lot in church too.

Maybe church should not allow such activities for adults and kids to be involved so much then.
