Ick.
She’s 33 now. Grooming permanently damage her or could she just be legit in love with him today? Or even if so were other opportunities potential stolen from her, or what’s y’alls take?
It’s quite possible to have feelings towards an abuser/groomer. But yeah, she probably could have had better chances if she weren’t groomed.
Possibly all of the above. If I were in her shoes I’d have probably taken the deal as well. Guaranteed all-expenses scholarship in your chosen field, followed afterward by a train of effectively infinite money coupled with political power? And in return she just has to give this old man the occasional shag? It’s honestly not a bad deal.
Make no mistake though, she is a victim here. Even if she may have profited off it the fact remains that she was groomed by a middle aged man while in high school and was extremely likely coerced into this relationship, either by offers or by threats or most likely some combination of both. A Faustian deal was struck here, where the opportunity for a regular loving family was given up in exchange for power, but it’s not clear to me how much choice was given to her in this deal.
Thank you for the excellent analysis. Sounds very right.
Eh, could have been worse… they could have met at a family reunion. ;)
Honestly, two adults who are related getting married is less gross to me than a middle-aged person marrying a child.
Marrying an adult he had too much access to as a child.
Let’s be honest, money and power gets women wet… women hypergamy it’s well known…
Removed, misogyny.
This child was groomed for sex and you blame the victim to defend a pedophile.
Maybe 70 years ago it could be possible, nowadays teenagers are just waiting to be 18 to get naked at OF… so in my humble POV better for her to be “groomed” by one man than be groomed by thousands of them.
Removed, trolling.
“I don’t care if Children get groomed.”
-You!
Mate… we are in 2024… 17 years olds can’t be groomed anymore, I wouldn’t be surprised if she have been with more men than he with women at this point. Children nowadays have internet connected devices since they are one year old and internet it’s 95% porn… don’t fuck with me… most parents didn’t even know what the fuck their kids see in the internet… if it was the 50s you will be right but not nowadays…
Because nobody has ever been led astray by information on the internet. It’s all full of truth and only has good things on it. Certainly couldn’t affect a young mind to persuasion.
Not defending that MF at all, I’m didn’t even republican tbh, but truth it’s truth mate it doesn’t matter if he is a fascistoid or a tankie
I must admit that she is definitely young but nowadays a 17 year old girl probably has a lot more sexual experience than a 35 year old man, let’s be honest.
Which you clearly know, because you’re a 17 year old girl, right? If not, please do explain in detail how you know so much about the sexual habits of teenage girls. Go on, we’re listening.
That is perfect satire.
I understand what you did and still want to yell at you.
I love the smell of people yelling at me in the morning.
Yeah, trolling.

Believe whatever you want to believe you didn’t even know me, you know nowadays everyone believes they are right…
You’re right, all I have to go on are your words.
Which happen to be defending a guy who was in his 40s and grooming a minor.
I guess I read an /s in there
Haha holy shit that’s this guy?
Someone tell the kid his dad’s a groomer
That one person was probably just trolling, but nowadays teens are much less likely to be sexually active than in previous decades.
bride-elect? what does that mean?
This guy is still around in Congress?! I had no idea it was the same dude when the recent articles about the photobombing kid came out. Ew.
So a child groomer, huh. Projection yet again.
Yup. That’s a deeply unsettling age difference.
