Internet

I have been speaking 2 a guy on the internet for 1 yr and he was under the impression that I was this blonde, confident 22 yr old woman who was beautiful and had a troubled life. I told him the truth (that I was 16, fat, shy, virgin etc) and he still wanted to marry me. I told him that this wasn't possible and that I didn’t want to be tied to him and that I wanted to live my live but he doesn’t listen. I said I want to go 2 uni and make my own mistakes with guys etc but he dismisses everything I say.

He told me that if I didn’t watch him on webcam (doing rude things) that he would go to he police and have me arrested for fraud and posing as another person on a public domain. I refused and he kept on blackmailing me so I told him to ******* off and leave me alone and deleted my email account.

I’m wondering if I did the right thing or should I do what he says? Also could I be arrested like he says?? I'm so confused, I have led such a sheltered live and I’m very naive

Thank you

He sounds like an idiot. There's no way on earth you'd get into legal trouble for telling him you're older than you are. Can you actually picture him telling the police about something like this? Can you then imagine them not laughing at him? Just forget about him, you absolutely did the right thing :biggrin:

Unethical? Certainly. Illegal? Hell, no.

I very much doubt you can get arrested for misrepresenting yourself to someone online, as long as no-one is hurt (ie, physicaly damaged, loses money etc) as a result. He is a manipulative freak who needs a reality check. You were right to completly cut contact and you should not, under any circumstances, do as he says, no matter how "innocent" his suggestions may seem. People like this find some very inventive ways to hurt us, using very little information. If something bad happens, you will be in a far better position if you can demonstrate that you didn't want anything to do with him.

No what you did is not illegal and you won't get into any trouble for it. He just sounds desperate to get you to keep talking to him. You did the right thing.
