“There’s this guy I want you to help me warn girls to stay away from it
because he’s always inviting and raping people around. I am among his victims
as well; for some reasons I can’t speak or even use my handle because I can
answer people’s questions barely.

Another victim in a direct message to
Angie stated, “I was 14 at the time and he lied to me that he was 17. He
manipulated me thinking that we were in a serious relationship and forced his
way on me the day I went over to see him. I told him to stop severally because
it hurt as I was a virgin but he didn’t stop. So he isn’t just a rapist but a
paedophile.”
