Online I found a guy
He didn't look too bad
He lived only an hour away
He said he was 17
Only three years older than me
We made plans to meet up
I was excited
I was going to have *** for the very first time
I wasn't thinking about all of the dangers
I could've been kidnapped
I could've been murdered
I could have been put into *** trafficking
I am lucky I didn't get hurt
But on his way to pick me up
He said he was 19
Only five years older than me
I was scared
But there was no time to change my mind
At fourteen I lost my virginity
To a nineteen year old stranger
Afterwards I panicked
I confided in someone
And they reported the incident
I didn't mean to get him in trouble
But as the police were investigating
They said he was 27
Only thirteen years older than me
This is my story about online predators and I got really lucky because this could've ended a lot worse than it did. But I really hope this teaches people how dangerous talking to strangers online can be, and how the "it won't happen to me" mentality can end very badly.
