Inapropriate Texting with Underage Girl


What is the name of your state? Florida

A co worker of mine recently got a phone call from an irate Mother threatening to have him arrested. It seems he was texting her 16 year old daughter. (he is in his 30's) According to him, the text's HE sent were all normal and friendly, however SHE sent him a text including a topless photo of herself. He swears he did not ask her to send this. He only replied with "nice". (says he deleted pic immeadiatly)

Can he be arrested? How far will this go?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

p.s. don't ask me why he was texting a 16 year old, I don't know and told him that in itself was immoral in my eyes!

Wrong move. Depending on the conversations, that is a yes or no answer.Can he be arrested? How far will this go?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

In everyone's eyes.

In fact, you are so astonishingly correct in this matter, it will not surprise us one bit if you are offered a generous settlement, because, by golly, that’s just how it should be.

If he has kept a copy of the image, then he is guilty of possession of child pornography.

According to him, his text's were "harmless", in my opinion with the exception of the "nice" comment.
He also said he deleted the image immeadiatly.

827.04 Contributing to the delinquency or dependency of a child at the least. He deserves whatever he gets, which I hope is alot. Any conversation that a thiry year old has with a sixteen year old is innappropriate.

In my opinion, commenting to a 16 year old that her naked breasts are "nice" is EXTREMELY inappropriate!

He was trying to say his texts were harmless and I was stating that I disagreed.

If your friend is worried about this then he's probably done more than text "nice" to this sixteen year old.

You're and idiot, or rather "your friend" (wink wink) is an idiot and the sixteen year olds mother is an idiot for allowing her sixteen year old daughter to have any device she can use to communicate with grown men, at her disposal.

If I had a sixteen year old daughter and I discovered she was texting middle aged men, she'd get to use a cell phone when she turned 18, found herself a full time job and a her own place to live.
If I discovered she was sending them half naked pictures, she wouldn't be leaving the house until she was 18!
I would also text this guy from her phone with a few photo's of my own. One shot of my 45acp next to a shovel and shallow grave, one shot of a handcuffed subject getting beat with billy clubs while being castrated and one last shot of Bubba bending his cell mate over a bunk while holding a pillow over his face.
The text message would ask him which of the activities depicted in the photos, would he like to see himself participating in and that if he ever sends a text message to my underage daughter again, the choice will be made for him.

Now change your cell number and only text women your own age!

Wow, I don't think it could be stated any better. I'll have to be more careful when I read your posts OOB... I laughed so hard I have Dr. Pepper all over my computer screen.

Don't be naive. He was aroused at the idea of flirting with jailbait and was going to take it as far as he could until he started feeling uncomfortable and broke it off, or until he had himself talked into believing he could get away with crossing the line. Your "friend" is a sleaze.

What, you think they were texting each other debating the merits of Socratic philosophy vs. Nietzsche's existentialism??? Puh-lease.

Outonbail: you forgot one. A 90 year old man renewing his sex offender registration for something he did sixty years ago and then going home to try to clean off the "Pervert" spray painted on his house for the umpteenth time.

LOL, read my screen name and check my previous posts, I am a 32 year old female and mother of three. (one of which is a 12 year old little girl)

So just to be clear, I am writing asking for information about a coworker and honestly wondering if the police are going to show up at my office...

I'm not being naive, I simply did not want him telling me any of his so called "reasons" for texting a young girl. Also, not my "friend", just a co-worker.

None of us can tell whether the cops will show up.

However, as the other posters have said, I don't think you are getting the whole story.
