UNITED KINGDOM — A foreign student, who had only been in the United Kingdom for three months, has been arrested by UK police for attempting to harass underage girls in a province of the country. According to a video posted on YouTube, the student had confessed to chatting with children aged between 14 and 15. UK police have confirmed that there is evidence of grooming and harassment of the young girls.
During the confession, the student admitted to chatting with the young girls and asking them if they liked him, as well as enquiring about their ages. There were also reports of the student sending indecent pictures and asking for their house addresses, with one girl disclosing that he invited her to his house for an inappropriate purpose. Skeptical of her age, the student often inquired if their mothers were at home before sending them messages.
In the confession, the student blamed the “temptation from the devil” for his actions and pleaded for mercy, promising to desist from such acts in the future. The UK police have handed him over to the authorities for further investigation and, if found guilty, prosecution.
The incident is a stark reminder to society of the need to safeguard children from predators and the importance of properly educating young children to protect themselves against online harassment.
