    It’s called statutory rape. And he was married and 38 at the time. And he was also trying to meet this person at twitch con. And this is the same year of twitch con that he was caught cheating on his wife.

    No amount of spin makes this OK. Please stop trying to justify pedophilia in defense of your favorite streamer. Sexting a minor is not ok, and the fact that even Beahm himself couldn’t spin this in a way that’s good for him should tell you something.

      It wouldn’t qualify for that as depending on the country people can consent at that age. And we speak of a difference of a single year anyways. There is a reason people bring up marriage and age difference up instead, because it simply isn’t pedophilia. Current societal definition: “Psychiatric diagnostic criteria for pedophilia extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13.”

        The country is America dumbass. Age of consent is 18 in America. She was a minor, he was trying to solicit her at twitchcon. If you want to go the legal angle, that is a crime.

        That’s not societal definition, that’s the clinical definition. But If you want to be pedantic, yes you are right. He’s actually an ephebophile, which is still detestable and is still illegal, still immoral, and still very fucking creepy.

        Sexting a child is wrong. How is that hard for you to understand?

        Are you a Doc fan? Are you a pedo/ephebophile? Libertarian? What’s going on here?

          In over half of America it would have been legal as the age of consent is above 16 or 17. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_the_United_States

          This isn’t a child, it is almost an adult in the legal sense quite literally. Your entire point of a crime have taken place has just no ground to stand on.

          There were inappropriate messages, but sexting wasn’t mentioned so far and I doubt the exact details will be known. A meeting in a public place like Twitch Con is better than some back alley.

          Thanks to resorting to personal attacks, but I am bothered so much by this, because this situation makes shitty behavior as in cheating on his wife almost the same as actual rape and abuse cases. And that takes away resources in prevention and investigation where it is needed. I grew up with the Michael Jackson smear campaigns and social media just proliferated this type of abuse.

            Twitch con was in California. And in the legal sense, almost an adult is a minor. So yes, this is a crime. And immoral. And worse than cheating. And yes, I’m ok with personally attacking pedos and those who defend them.

            Also a lot of those states use age-gap/romeo and Juliet laws. In most states it’s illegal for a 38 year old man to solicit a minor.

            Raped at twitch con is better than raped in an alley? Jesus fucking Christ.

            I’m guessing libertarian and pedo, you probably don’t actually give a shit about Beahm.

              How did you get fro meeting somebody to raping on Twitch Con. You have zero reasons to assume this situation. It isn’t pedophilia in any legal or moral sense.

                Again I ask, where did you come up with this age? From what I’ve seen, nobody has specified an age of the victim.
