What a nasty creep. My only surprise is the victim was a girl.
“We’re living in the perhaps the worst generation that has ever existed in this world.”

I don’t think that the Middle Ages were a barrel of laughs.
We hear about the perversity now,24/7,worldwide,————years ago it was barely known——but it happened.
.
I know it wasn’t, but neither is this time period either.
We’re a bit sheltered from the insanity living in post-civilized Amerika.
But, we’re told by God Himself that this will be the worst generation to ever exist - a simple perusing of Revelation can answer that.
You look around and see (and read) how literally insane folks have become and it’s not hard to imagine an apocalyptic scenario with your neighbors once the food & water runs out.
“———and it’s not hard to imagine an apocalyptic scenario with your neighbors once the food & water runs out”

Of course,but that would have happened in any period in history——it’s all about survival.
.
And now that there are many times more people living in even more condensed areas it’s going to be magnified the next time.
Given that your tagline quotes Scripture, I'm assuming you posted that in haste without real reflection. While there are certainly huge swaths of evil around the world, and while surely everyone sins, nevertheless since Jesus returned to heaven He has sent the Holy Spirit into our world, Who ensures that never again are conditions so reprehensibly and comprehensively as evil as they were in societies that became thoroughly reprobate; for example, in Sodom, where every adult male tried to commit homosexual rape, nor especially as in the days of Noah, when every thought of every person was only evil all the time.
No I didn’t post in haste at all.
If you believe in Dispensationalism, then you’ll know there will come a time (now) where men will once again behave as in the days of Noah.
God destroyed the world then because of it’s evil.
Matthew 24:37-39
And since you mentioned Lot’s rapist neighbors...
Luke 17:28-30
And Jesus Himself said the times we’re living in up to the end will be the absolute worst ever.
Matthew 24:21-22
He doesn’t give that description for the days of Noah, but His actions clearly show it was horrific since He destroyed everything not in the Ark.
2 Timothy 3:1-7 describes the times we live in. So does Romans 1:18-32.
It’s abundantly clear that a society as in Noah’s times, when “every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time” (Gen.6:5), is distinctly much worse than today’s, in which a billion-plus Spirit-indwelt Christians live. The times Jesus described are surely coming, but only after the church is raptured and the Holy Spirit withdraws from doing good and restraining evil.
IMHO we’re in the times like Noah as he talks about in Matthew 24 & Luke 17.
These verses specifically cite how evil and horrible the Tribulation will be. “Tribulation such as has not occured since the beginning of the world, until now, nor ever will”
Matthew 24:21-22
That includes “since the beginning of the world”, & Noah’s times.
I think you’re way off on the billion-plus Spirit indwelt Church. We’re probably looking at 2-5% of the entire world population if we’re honest, given the wholesale evil that has swallowed up even the “believing nations of the world”.
