It depends what the "grooming" involved.

Did it involve, say ...

Having any indecent photographs of the "child" ?

Did he have any inappropriate physical contact?

Etc.

Umm no.

She just wants to know if it's illegal. I reckon she knows its wrong but she wants to know if it's ILLEGAL if you read the question....

DUH!!! ;P

knobby, where have you got that from. This poster has a long post on body and soul and asked for info. In the discussion she wondered if a crime had been committed and i told her she may get a legal answer on Law.

Do you think so knobby?

I'm not sure myself now.

It's a nasty subject for a wind-up/

Hang on ... I'm going to fetch Skeptical Cat ...

This is the Law section. Why is there reason to believe that this not a genuine question? The trouble is that certain asinine posters should stick to Chatterbank and not assume that their hilarity should be spread over the whole site. It looks really pathetic.

Stick to CB, dimwits.

Gormless, if you have nothing more constructive to add than a bit more discourteous abuse, then you have permission to leave the table.

I treated it as a serious quetion. I am not ruling out that possibility.

I'm good, thanks, sara. x

At least JJ I don't add giggly pathetic drivel to serious questions. Stick to Chatterbank.

It is not discourteous abuse, I'm just pointing out your shallow mind.

Please try to remember, AB is not a private club for you to raunch around with your endless juvenility.
