“…But it is only fair that they know my side of the story”.

Whatever the fuck his story is, it’s not as bad as “gotten raped as a child”.

I mean, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, and try to hear their side of the story, but...

I'm relatively certain he could explain his story for the rest of eternity, and he'd still be "the pedophile rapist guy," I really don't see it getting better in this case.

From what little explanation/justification he seems to have given, if anything, my opinion of him has worsened. I guess, in a sense, that's kind of impressive...

What I don’t get is that the only ‘justification’ that would exonerate him. Is that he could plead ignorance of her age. But he fully knew and groomed her. And no extenuating circumstances justifies that.

Just like how murder isn’t exonerated if you drive DUI and end up running over peolle. Or being a victim of SA doesn’t give you a free pass.

You give too much credit. DUI crimes are literally influenced. This POS repeatedly, knowingly raped a child.

This is more accurately compared to premeditated murder vs manslaughter. But this was premeditated, repeatedly.
