A California man was arrested after being accused of performing sex acts with a 14-year-old he met on Reddit, federal officials said.

The teen’s family reported her missing in Arizona and, after reaching out to her friends, learned that she was planning to run away, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.

The girl had told her friend that she’d met a man, later identified as 32-year-old Trevon Nathaniel Langstaff, on a Reddit page about runaways, prosecutors said.

There was no attorney information listed for Langstaff in court records as of March 28.

The girl said Langstaff “harbored runaways” and “currently had two other teenagers staying with him,” officials said.

The girl, found in a closet in Langstaff’s Long Beach apartment, was rescued, prosecutors said.

She told officials the two engaged in sexual acts when they got to Langstaff’s apartment, officials said.

Langstaff was arrested and charged with transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, officials said.

If Langstaff is convicted, he’ll face a minimum of 10 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison, officials said.

Long Beach is about a 25-mile drive south of downtown Los Angeles.

How long until Trevon comes out as trans?

 

[Xarpho's Return]

Of course he should go to prison but at the same time these teenagers wanting to run away and have sex face ZERO real punishment because "they're minors" is still a bit of a sticking point.

I get she's 14, but I can't imagine she didn't have alarm bells going off on her head that a stranger on some website said he would help her. Did we stop teaching kids about stranger danger? Are kids just going into vans that have "free candy" spray painted on them?

The social media brainrot is worse than I thought, god damn.

Uh it kinda seems like she experienced consequences for her actions already lmao

Edit: I guess I was under the impression she was like locked in the closet but maybe not?

Reddit lies on X has been trying to warn people about this subreddit for awhile

Honestly how has reddit not taken this down already it's a huge legal liability

She went there explicitly because of the stranger danger, not the free candy.

If this guy doesn't get called a predditor in prison i'm going to be very disappointed

Concentrated naivety meets unashamed grooming.

I kind of wonder how many glowies are lurking there?

Teehee hope I dont become a hooker!

Darwinism in real time folks

 

[FrancineCansMcGee]

That's a pretty groomy subreddit even by Reddit standards. I think Reddit's new shareholders should prepare for the company to pay out more than one lawsuit.

They'd be in the groomers category. Thing is LEA doesn't give a fuck about teen runaways because there's no crime being committed that they can put before a Judge and it snarls up an immense amount of resources tracking the absentee down. This can complicate kidnapping cases immensely, especially when the victim is an older teen. The dipshit in the news report is lucky she didn't pull this stunt even as little as a year later. Well, I mean, lucky she was tracked down before she was murdered or pimped out, obviously she wasn't lucky lucky.

I guarantee having sex with tevon was a punishment in and of itself, and being imprisoned in a closet is also a real punishment this girl endured

This guy deserves the death penalty. He's no doubt abused several children at this point.

I was thinking more about glowies pretending to be the minors, but you're right.

Reddit's okay with "transphobia" in porn (meaning specifying "cis only") but not in general subreddits, so it's not surprising. Selective outrage.

Probably a mix of retardation and extreme daddy issues. Young girls with no dad or male figure will jump at the thought of adult male attention - even if its obviously creepy.

Sanitizing the internet was a mistake. Coarse but basically harmless websites (like us) get censored, while predators like this monster hide under a veneer of decency to get their prey.
