Men like that all try to claim it’s “fantasy” and they really knew it was a cop all along, but sorry, that doesn’t work (especially after the men in question have sent off pictures of their private parts, which is evidently what they think teenage girls are dying to see). He thought this was a young teenage girl, that’s what he was after, and it’s fortunate for the teenage girls out there that he was wrong.
Years ago, I received a "mis-sent" message in a hotmail account. The person presented herself as a female Canadian High School student and complained that I didn't meet her as promised.
I responded that she had the wrong person, that I was an adult and an Air Force Sergeant. "She" wrote back and apologized and commented about how "exciting" I sounded.
This had already seemed a bit creepy. I responded that I was a old married man and there was nothing particularly glamorous about my life. I also warned "her" that communication with strangers was very dangerous and she had better be cautious and I hoped her parents were reading these messages.
"Her" response seemed very odd. It was written like an adult posing as a child, but too professional. It almost sounded like I passed some sort of test.
To this day I wonder if it might have been a trap by a police agency.
