Recently I found out that someone I know had sex a 14 year old. He’s currently 18 but he was 17 at the time I’m not sure if she was 13 or 14 when it happened. I was told by another underclassmen. You’re probably wondering “what does this have to do with anxiety” ….well I have pretty bad anxiety when it comes to confrontations. But when I heard this I was genuinely very upset and disgusted so I sent a pretty passive aggressive message to a group chat I’m in with him. Immediately he denied it..but then he said she wanted him…but then he finally admitted to it and said “It was a one time thing” and it’s not a big deal. But I find it strange because he also has been trying to date 10 graders..which is debatable on if it’s weird BUT considering the other situation with an 8th grader at the time it seems like a weird pattern. To continue, everyone in the group chat attacked me for calling him a weirdo. They told me that I wished it was me etc. I was so shocked especially since none of them knew prior to me saying this and it made me even more upset because of how fast they were to defend him. Currently I feel super anxious I’m wondering if I did the wrong thing calling him out and if there was no point. Because now I’ve been made into a target and me and this dude have had problems in the past including him encouraging his friends to bully me. Am I wrong for thinking his actions are predatory? Should I have kept to myself to avoid conflict?
