I love when completely innocent people say things like “no wrongdoing was acknowledged" and "no criminal charges have ever been brought against me". I was suspicious before, but if there were no criminal charges then who cares, right? Right?

Locker room humor generally refers to talk between guys, which could have sexual undertones, but isn't normally something I'd think of as "sexually-oriented".

And flirting can range all the way from smiling long at someone at a cafe or calling them 'cutie' in conversation, to me spanking my s.o. as they walk by in a sexy outfit and telling them they're gonna get punished if they keep distracting me from work- so there's a huge range in there, some of which I'd definitely consider sexting, if texted to someone.

Frankly, I have zero sympathy for him, because it's very easy not to interact over direct message with fans at all, much less underage ones.

I've worked customer-interfacing jobs that required a high level of direct, personal relationship-building before (sometimes even *gasp* with people I found attractive!), and I never once felt compelled to take those communications into a private space, and there was never even a potential for those people to have been kids.

You don't "stumble into" private messages with a minor that "get out of hand".
