Its no parody.

I have no details about what he did. Whether it was boys or girls or what the age range was.

Innocent until proven guilty. Don't bail on him until you hear the evidence. There's a lot of witch hunts out there....

this is why I am so confused.

I have known him since 1982.

Apparently, the property management wants him gone because of this.

He was online around 5pm, how is he still posting?

 

[OCGuy]

Better burn your HDD, he is probably going to rat you out.

 

[Iron Woode]

? He has been without internet access since the 6th.

I have done nothing to warrant such action. I had no idea he was visiting chat rooms or whatever he was doing. I have been busy trying to start my own business.

Sorry, I assumed too much.
I thought Wombat Woman had young kids or something.

This is a hilariously plausible alibi. I suggest you stick with it, deviating from your story will only seem incriminating.

 

[Powermoloch]

If you know you're innocent, what's the panic?

Besides if your buddy is also innocent, when the evidence fall in place, he'll be either guilty or charges will be dropped.

SOL happens, but it happened.

I am not the one doing Internet Luring.

No police officer came here to talk to me. Not even my friend's lawyer.

I have no information to offer anyone.

I understand this.

I just feel weird that someone I know may be a pedophile.

 

[Perknose]

Officer: Mr. Woode, we have a warrant for your arrest.

IW: I have done no action for such warrant.

I had no idea he was visiting chat rooms or whatever he was doing. I have been busy trying to start my own business.

Officer: Mr. Woode, are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Internet?

IW: Never! Ask anyone on ATOT, they'll tell you. I've been minding my own business . . . literally!

Besides, I had no idea my buddy Leroy was visiting the Dirty Knickers chat room and talking so much to that saucy 6 year old Esmerelda! She's a vixen, I tell you, a veritable siren of salacious intent. :awe:

It's communicable, you know. Think back. Have you ever shaken hands with your friend, or clapped him on the back in a hearty, manly way? If so . . . D:

Hey man, we are your friends here. No need to tell us your story.

I am sure you will have to explain it to the authorities, and they are all who really matters.

Good Luck.

[Newbian]

So... what atoter is no longer logging in now or does that mean the police are logged in as him and are neffing with us?

 

[alkemyst]

Its no parody.

I have no details about what he did. Whether it was boys or girls or what the age range was.

why you trying to protect a criminal? Is he or is he not a friend? If a friend you should know everything right?

 

[edro]

People still use chat rooms?

I bet he sent some underage girls messages on Facebook.

 

[Exterous]
