Good morning,
I need help as a tourist.
I'm gay. I met a guy online and we've been chatting for a year.
We eventually decided to meet up last week. I asked him many, many times, before meeting up, how old he was, because I like to be careful.
And to this question, he always replied that he was 19. I have been asking him his cedula as proof of age, he kept telling me that he doesn't have any cédula due to various bureaucratic/paperwork reasons.
so last week on whatsapp I asked him his date of birth just be sure, he replied in writing August 26, 2002.
(On social media, this kid also uploaded a picture with "2002" tattooed on his ankle, so I made the connection and genuinely assumed that he was telling me the truth.)
Then I immediately asked him how old he was, he said (also in writing) "19 años".
He also confirmed this through voice notes (yo soy mayor de edad, etc)
I'm VERY carefully with meeting people here as I'm very aware of the law.
So after this whatsapp exchange, we decided to meet up and have sex (last week).
He asked for some money before this, so I gave him money.
I wasn't planning to meet him ever again after that (to me it was just a "one-night). But then on over the following days, he kept asking to do it again with me, because "necessito dinero".
Because he still didn't have any cedula to show, I refused. He was pissed.
Then next thing I know, last night his mom texts me on whatsapp telling me that she is going to report me to fiscalia because I paid his son for sex, and he is a minor.
I sent her all the screenshots showing how her son repeatedly told me he was 19, with year of birth 2002.
She replied that he is actually 16, not 19.
I had NO IDEA. I feel completely cheated.
She then said that she is a judge and that she will basically have me prosecuted and go to jail.
But then she suggested that, if I want to avoid all this bad stuff, I can make a some sort of deal with her son (not with her though) asap. She didn't specify what kind or deal, but I suspect she wants money.
But for a so called judge to ask me on whatsapp to make a deal with her son, that sounds like she is just blackmailing me and she really isn't a judge.
I mean what kind or judge offers to make a deal BEFORE even reporting the crime?
She said she is going to report me to fiscalia today. Nor sure if this family is just blackmailing and the young fella is really legal of age, or he is really a minor as his mom says.
Also the he now claims himself that he is a minor, saying he doesn't know WHY he lied, but I suspect he did this for money.
Now he claims he needs MORE money to run away from his house to the campo, because supposedly his parents are forcing him to show them where I live, and he doesn't want to oblige. So he needs money to 'escape" to the campo away from his parents.
Please advise on what should I do. If fiscalia really gets on board and the really did lie about his age, I want to be able to defend myself because I GENUINELY and sincerely believed that he was 19.
I have all the evidence in writing.
Please recommend a lawyer. Thanks.
