[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nature of offense was soliciting a minor online.  It was a sting operation.  Cop posed as 14 year old girl.  Guy was in his 40s (hes 54 now).  Happened in 2006, convicted and pled guilty in 2008.  Says cop set him up.  I don't believe him.

She does have a support system, but they have all contacted me saying the same thing: dude is sleezy and not to be trusted.  My grandmother called me in tears.

He blames everyone but himself on his actions.  Doesn't even seem apologetic.

She desperately needs therapy, but won't go.  Not sure what to do.[/quote]

You just put up strong boundaries and don't engage with this guy.  If you can, stay in contact with your mom, and tell her you care about her.   But that you don't support this relationship with this guy.    It "could" be different if he took full responsibility for what he did and did something to try to fix the problem (therapy, meds, whatever).   But "anyone" who always blames others is bad news, and coupled with a child sex offense, it's a disaster.

I'm really sorry.    My brother is involved with a similarly messed up woman, and the dysfunction touches everyone.   It's going to be a rough road.  Keep kids in your life safe.
