Someone I looked up to and admired took advantage of that to get what he wanted. I gained a lot of perspective and felt used. My infatuation died and I was no longer looking through rose tinted glasses. He initiated nearly every conversation because I was too intimidated to message him first in fear of bothering him.Īll of this went on for around 6 months when we started messaging less and less. I can't say exactly how many pictures/videos were exchanged but it was quite a few. I initially told him I wasn’t comfortable sending things like that but I was afraid after a while he would lose interest, so i complied. Although I never went to physically meet him, things continued to be sexual, we called a few times on discord and he asked me for nudes quite often. My step dad ended up having minor health complications that made us have to cancel our trip, a blessing in disguise. I told him it would probably be a long shot because I was still 17 and my parents probably wouldn't let me out alone. I remember my family had a trip planned to California to visit family for my birthday and he asked if i would be able to come over to his house to have sex. Things escalated from there and it’s hard to recall specifics from so long ago, especially from snapchat where chat history gets deleted. He then asked if he could take my virginity and I told him yes. He asked if I was a virgin and I said yes. Things took a sharp turn when we were chatting on snapchat one day and the subject of virginity came up. He added me on snapchat where we chatted here and there, nothing super deep. We were casually friendly for a while with many tweets back and forth and the occasional dm. I was over the moon to feel so close to the person I was infatuated with. He told me if I ever needed anything I could reach out and then he began to discuss his recent breakup and how poorly it was affecting his mental health so I told him he could do the same. I was confused as I had no part in him joining the group chat but was excited anyways. A little later, he followed me and sent a DM to say he would not have been added to the group chat if it hadn’t been for me. Nothing out of the ordinary happened and we were so excited to have been able to talk to someone we looked up to. He followed the girl who had tweeted him initially and was added where we all chatted for a little bit before he left. One of the girls in the group tweeted Craig asking if he wanted to join the group chat, by our surprise he said yes. We had a group chat where we talked daily and would often tweet Craig in hopes of being tweeted back. I had made a fan account for him on twitter to make friends with other people and became good friends with an amazing group of girls. When I was 16 I was a huge fan of Craig and his friends.
