WoW pedophemale fails in her quest to get a 17 year old knobbing photo

Hey, love hurts sometimes, but it must sting when such 'love' lands you in jail in a foreign country. 31 year old Australian World of Warcraft player, Tamara Broome, can attest to such a statement, as she's now sitting in a cell in North Carolina after entering America to let an American enter her ... an underage one, at that. With plans to take her 17 year old online lover back to Adelaide for marriage and doubtless sex of a non-cyber variety, Broome was in for a far less romantic scene -- three detectives with a +5 in arrest magic and a -10 in taking kindly to women escorting minors out of the country.

The two met in World of Warcraft when the boy was but 16, and were said to have formed an intense relationship. Although friends of Broome said it wasn't kidnapping because the boy "wanted to come," a 31 year old ought to know better and not be so ridiculous. Honestly, 17's legal in England and I find it distasteful at only 23, let alone 31. What was she going to do when she got him home and all he could talk about was My Chemical Romance? What a stupid bint. She was lucky Perverted Justice wasn't hitting the WoW servers.

As rare living proof that not every creepy pervoid online is male (just nearly every one), Broome faces up to two years in prison, pending a guilty verdict. I wonder, will the husband-never-to-be get all her loot?

And yeah, an 18 year old going to jail for rape and/or having to register as a sex offender because he had consensual sex with a 17 year old is ridiculous.

"And let me clarify, when I said "you" as in "wanting to fuck kids" that was meant as a general "you", meaning pedophiles, not YOU actually. Sorry if I wasn't clear."

Hey, I'm trying not to make myself look like an ass. It's just that I get really defensive. Rumors are a usual problem for me, so I try to be as careful as possible.

By now, I think we're playing word games with each other. Hell, we have porn sites listing what we mentioned as "fetishes" when others classify them as "turn ons". Don't ask how I know.

But I want to talk about games now. Speaking of which, I like it when a girl kicks my ass in gaming. I don't mean as in "Oops, I 'accidentally' missed when attacking". I mean as in "Holy shit, you handed me my own ass when I tried!"

To those saying "the system is ridiculous"...

In one way, it IS ridiculous, yeah. Little changes in a year between being 17 and being 18. However, a line HAS to be drawn, and it has to be enforced, no matter how 'ridiculous' it is. If we didn't have a definite cut off point between what is sex with a minor and what isn't, you know what would happen? Trouble would happen. What if 17 was legal, then we'd get people going "Oh, she's only 16, nearly 17, it's fine." Then what if 16 was legal? "Oh, she's only 15, nearly 16, it's fine." Once you blur the line, things get very tricky, and very nasty.

Yes, it is kind of surreal that a 17 year old, a day before their birthday, could make you a pedophile today but a normal person tomorrow, I agree it's odd when you think in these terms. But it's necessary. A line HAS to be drawn and adhered to.

Just as a side note, most fetishes aren't considered paraphilia until they fall into the realm of interfering with quality of life or normal functioning of an individual. So while there are several sexual behaviors that can become abnormal, just posessing those behaviors isn't particularly abnormal. So even if you need feet or hello kitty to become aroused, it's not till it interferes with quality of life that it becomes a psychological concern.

Hell, other than maybe his parents having an issue with their kid leaving the country, there really isn't anything illegal going on here. No age of consent laws were broken (NC is 16, or less than that if you marry the 12 year old) and at 17 he could probably have gotten married stateside without his parents permission. As to the age difference, its a little strange for a woman in her early 30s to be interested in a young man for a serious relashionship (serious fucking, however, is another matter). As people get older, the difference between them developmentally isn't as great... whereas a year to a teenager is an amount of great physical and mental change, that same increment of time matters less as you get older. Read up on Eriksons stages of life development if your curious.

Wow. I was born and raised in NC, but that still surprised me. But it looks like you are correct.

It still squicks me out, though.
