Ok...so if I am reading that right 16-18 it would apply only if he is in a position of trust..However Under 16 Sexual Grooming would apply in the UK. However in New Zealand he would have potentially been in violation of the Child Pornography laws in that: * ‘Young person’ means a boy or girl of or over the age of fourteen (14) years but under seventeen (17) years ; This does not include any person who has been married. For the purposes of the Customs Child Pornography Project, ‘child pornography’ is material relating to persons younger than seventeen (17) years of age. * ‘Publication’ means- Any film, book, sound recording, picture, newspaper, photograph, photographic negative, photographic plate, or photographic slide; Any print or writing; Any paper or other thing- That has printed or impressed upon it, or otherwise shown upon it, any word, statement, sign or representation; or On which is recorded or stored any information that, by use of any computer or other electronic device, is capable of being reproduced or shown as any word, statement, sign, or representation. Not being a lawyer in New Zealand, I am not sure how well or much that would apply. Cross country lines is of course a whole different type or problem and I suspect agreements between countries as well as those who use and contribute to Interpol services would prevail. However reprehensible this person is, he was very careful to target a child in a country that had a low sexual majority age. I must wonder however what will happen when she ages out. He has shown a preference for 15/16 already, at 18 she is potentially getting too old and this too may be a reason he is accepting phone and text from others.While some may indeed be past conquests, that he is 'no longer" involved with, it is an ego boost to say the least that they still pant after him, some could well be the next fingerling on the hook so to speak. poenkitten
