13 years ago I met a guy online (American), we met up but no sexual intercourse took place. He was 32 years old (which has turned out to be true). At the time being a 16 year old, I did not see that he was 'grooming' me after a long chat in the afternoon via a chatroom. It has only just materialised after searching for him via google (first time since I met him all those years ago) that he's been convicted for importuning under age girls (in most states there I think the age varies between 18 and 21, please correct me if I'm wrong). He is currently serving a 37 year prison sentence...At the time, I was 16 and in the UK this is the legal age for consensual sex so I didn't think anything more of it until reading all this information about his court case. Am really stunned by what I've read, to be honest.
So, getting to the point, is there any way I can contact the local authorities on the information I have of meeting him? What department would I speak to? I honestly don't know where to start..
Most of the girls he met were local to him back in the States, but there was no mention of foreign encounters from the court transcript (surprised it was available to read online).
Thanks to anyone who can help me.
