The real obscenity here is that this monster only got 13 years.

He should have claimed he was Muslim. It’s the new black.

Seems there should be liability from grinder for allowing a 12 year old on their site.

They definitely need to slice the private parts off these perverts. Not to make them women but to make them harmless to everybody else.

“...Yeah, I was wondering why a 12 year old was on Grindr...”

Indeed. Last I heard, in most jurisdictions, adult-oriented services are legally mandated to have pretty stringent age-checks in place.

Hopefully that’s now come to an end, since the pride flags only help the Russians justify their own murder, rape and war.

Grindr needs to be investigated. I’ve heard many underage kids are on that site, which is a gay social dating app. The boy isn’t innocent, since he did know what Grindr is.

As a young person, I got around the age restriction by saying Yes to ‘Are you over 18?’. I wasn’t on Grindr, but a few adult stories sites (I was a horny teenager)😀
