A good friend and I have discovered that the perosn he loved online and who appeared to love him is not at all the person he purported to be.

At first it was little things. Just odd feelings. Then we got a load of oddity including

he says he is at a certain school. He is not
he says he has no exams this summer. This is the wrong year to be at school and have no exams
The school has not heard of him anyway
On reflection his pictures feel too old to be of the school age boy he states that he is
A friend who was at that school does not recognise him from either the name of the pictures he has supplied

There is much more, all of which is individually small beer. But put together it is a huge tissue of lies.

My question is, what does my friend do? We have a name and a street address. We are 90% sure we know who he is, and that he is at the very least an adult, but we don't know yet precisely how adult. We know he advertises himself as 16 (with pictures of a younthful 16 year old) on gay contact sites, and we know he chats as if he were a 16 year old.

Our feeling about him varies between "stupid brat" and "evil swine!". The online tryst was one that even had plans for setting up home together in about a year's time!

I want to emphasise that this is not about anyone who comes here, and not about anyone you know, any of you.
