I fooled around with a 12 year old girl I met online in 1999 when I was only 19 and just a desperate nerdy Virgin. She was about to turn 13, and it didn’t seem so bad because I had gone on a date with a 14 year old girl once when I was a senior in high school. Her parents were divorcing and she moved away, but the last thing she told me was that she missed her period

At the time, as a college student I was kinda relieved that she disappeared and I never heard from her again because I didn’t want to go to jail. She was j******* and I knew it. I’m glad the statute of limitation in that state has run because I feel terribly guilty about what I did.

Now, as a father and married man in my late thirties: I wonder if there is a child out there somewhere who never knew me as their father…They would be 18 now. I don’t even remember the girls name and I have no way to find out. Damn.
