Alex Edwards Displays Typical Pedophile Logic

20-year-old loser Alex Edwards has been carrying on a mainly online affair with a 14-year-old girl for a few months now. He has admitted to having sex with the girl on one occasion, and though I don’t know her exact age when they first met. it’s safe to assume she either was just 14 or more likely around 13. Smitten Alex traveled to her school to propose to her and was promptly arrested for trespassing.

Here’s a video of the man where he provides an interesting defense of a 20-year-old having sexual relations with a 13 to 14-year-old girl, then trying to get that child to run off and get married:

That’s right, Alex thinks a 20-year-old dating a 14-year-old is the same as a 26-year-old dating a 20-year-old. For normal people this makes no sense because it would mean two things:

A) People reach physical, emotional and intellectual maturity in their early teens and,

B) They stop developing after reaching that point.

Anyone who tells you a 20-year-old woman and a 14-year-old girl are in some way similar have clearly never met one or the other. But if as I suspect Alex is basically saying that a six year age spread is never inappropriate then what else would be acceptable to Alex?

For one thing his 14-year-old girlfriend would be able to have sex with an 8-year-old. Alex at 12, by his logic, would be doing nothing wrong if he had sex with a 6-year-old. And Alex isn’t making the point that six years is the cut off, he’s playing a perverted game where he uses age disparity between consenting adults as justification for his own selfish desire to date a girl too young to realize he’s, to put it mildly, not quite a catch.

If I was single now I would have a “cut-off” age of dating of around 27, since I’m 37. That’s ten years which I think is an appropriate, if eyebrow raising, spread in the ages of two consenting adults. By Alex’s logic if a 37-year-old man was able to date a 27-year-old woman then he at 20 should be able to date a 10-year-old because “it’s no different” as he implies in the above video.

Edwards is clearly immature and his “pedophilia” is, like all other cases, a symptom of some other corruption of his soul that expresses itself in his sexual exploitation of children. Reading the news reports it is clear Edwards is deficient in more ways than one:

Edwards, of Racine, Wis., was arrested Tuesday after waiting for the girl outside Otter Creek Middle School. He met her last April, they had corresponded by cell phone and computer and had visited each other three times.

Recently, the girl had told him not to contact her anymore, said Sgt. Frank Shahadey of the Vigo County Sheriff’s Department.

Edwards nonetheless carried a diamond ring and love letter for the girl among other items as he waited for her Tuesday by sitting under a tree outside the school.

Both the accused and victim gave statements to police disclosing they had sex once last August, Shahadey said. Edwards said he knew the act was a crime, Shahadey said.

Edwards, sitting at a witness table during his probable-cause hearing on Wednesday, appeared at times despondent and other times confused. He is unemployed and had planned to go to boot camp for the U.S. Navy in May.

Judge Eldred asked him if he had ever received any psychiatric help, to which he replied no.

The judge set bail at $75,000, no 10 percent. Edwards can be detained until Monday while the prosecutor’s office decides what charges, if any, to file. When informed by the judge that he will return to court on Monday, Edwards said dejectedly, “I was hoping to be out on my birthday.” He will turn 21 on Sunday.

OT but Happy Birthday douchebag!

But it is clear that Edwards suffers from profound social retardation and emotional immaturity. I have put forward in conversation many times that most “pedophiles” are like Edwards, and the ones that are not are sadists who enjoy causing the weak to suffer.

Alex Edwards is an instructive example of the fact that pedophilia is not a simple orientation, it is a symptom of maladjustment at best. It is the product of a person’s low character and lack of moral compasses combined with a feeling of sexual entitlement. Pedophiles cannot be treated and must not be accepted. They must be punished.
