Re: accusations

Desiring underaged girls is not a crime, and neither is acknowledging such a desire. Of course, acting on those desires would be a very serious offense.

Re: accusations

No crime for having desires for little girls but if he could be in trouble if he made a direct solicitation and, of course, if he acted on his desires. Otherwise, nothing to worry about except he needs to be warned how easily he could get himself in trouble, if he makes his desires known to too many people. Fondling little girls is a serious serious crime.
