If anyone seriously thinks that sending sexual messages to an underaged person isn't illegal, you seriously need to re-examine in the law. Perhaps it's simply that for a while I was pursuing a degree in education, or that I'm dating a fellow with a degree and career in criminal justice, or that for some time I was a moderator on a site where minors ERPing was becoming a serious issue, but it's been drilled into my head that ERPing with minors is a very serious issue and can in fact leave you with fines, jail time, and potentially a permanent sex offender status. As for citing it... I'm not sure what I can do to prove it to anyone who's going to refuse to believe it? I don't spend my time researching court cases and keeping links on hand to cite them. I can tell you that an officer in my FC was a military investigator, and once had a case where a soldier was accused of ERPing with an underaged girl and was discharged for it, though I believe he said that in the end, the girl's parents decided not to press charges. Though, for anyone blindly against believing it and for some reason attacking laws in place to protect minors, I'm sure an anecdote won't be good enough.
