I’d need a lot more context to form a judgment about that case. One person’s “grooming” is another person’s “hitting on,” and one person’s “pedophilia advocacy ” is another’s “high decoupling cognitive style.” And one person’s “twice the age” is another’s “I never got any memo that i can’t hit on adults half my age.”
I’m young enough that no adults are half my age, so this is just about my knowledge of Anglo culture. Is there some rule about age gaps between adults? I’ve seen some online snark about Leo DiCaprio but no claims that he and people like him are violating cultural norms by dating adults who are much younger than them.
