I started a thread the past few days about me catfishing a girl...

I started a thread the past few days about me catfishing a girl, I originally tried to ghost her but I was advised to message her again and I did. Now I had a very quick opportunity to say we should just be friends. This is depressing me something terrible. I think I love this girl, I just can’t lie anymore. And I was scared of getting caught and getting arrested for this.

Now she’s sad and I don’t know what to do. I’m standing strong on the just friends thing and she said she’ll cry every day for a year and she won’t talk to me as much because she’s bad at just staying friends. This depresses me.

I’m still scared of being arrested for this so I hope she never catches on, but what else can I do? I’m just so confused

turn yourself into the police you can never run away from them after catfishing a girl

I’m not sure if this is sarcasm or not. I’m genuinely really worried

is catfishing even illegal?

Tell her you’re gay

There are 3 possibilities here:
1) OP is leaving out important details
2) The girl is insane
3) OP is schizophrenic
In any case, kys

What details would I have left out?

I talked to this girl for a few months, we ended up liking each other. I tried to ghost her over the weekend but cracked because I was nervous she would tell the cops and I’d be charged with fraud because we exchanged nudes. I told her tonight that I just want to be friends and now she’s mad and upset and talking about how I’m an asshole and I’m both sad and even more worried now that she’ll file a police report and I’ll be investigated.

I’m not crazy or anything, just lonely and I fell for this girl. I’m sad and scared

Please check your house for a carbon monoxide leak

What’s wrong with what I said?

you probably won’t be arrested for catfishing lol

I’m not sure about that

I know in Indiana that's a minimum 4 tear Class C felony.

Is it really?

no

How long before nudes happened?
I don't think you can be arrested for catfishing but if you are you *might* be able to build a defence on how she only sent the nudes because of your personality and not your fake profile

It happened pretty quickly. I started our first conversation ever with a dick pic and a few weeks or a week later I got a picture of her topless.

I’m super worried about all of this

Unless she was underage bro it doesn't matter you fucking schizo.

"Currently catfishing is not illegal but elements of the activity could be covered by different parts of the law. If a victim hands over money, the "catfish" could be prosecuted for fraud. Someone using a fake profile to post offensive messages or doctored images designed to humiliate could also face criminal action."

Idiot ass mongoloid nigger.

I got nudes, that’s why I’m worried about the fraud part. I’m pretty sure that counts

Calm down user. Just get ahead of it. Start getting as lawyer now give him the whole story. Don’t lie. And maybe you can get a plea deal and not the 10 year max

I hate posts like this. They just make me worry more, even if they are bullshit

Either that or kill yourself

???????
Dude you won't get to jail for that shit. The worst thing that can happen is that the cops will get you a lawyer so that you wont get exiled from your town and just do some some trash cleaning for the next 16 months or so.

The last thing I need is an arrest record. I’ll kill myself if I get arrested for this

You just have to clean trash for 16 months. Calm down you wont go to jail [spoiler]probably[/spoiler]

Yeah I’ll kill myself if I’m arrested. I won’t even bother waiting till I go to court

It’s not that serious

If you kill her there’s no reason to kill yourself

Not funny

youre a fucking retard user
kys

Why? Can I at least get a reason?

What kind of piece of shit scum catfishes

I’m just a lonely guy

You're fine as long as you don't try to blackmail or otherwise expose her

Is that true? I would never do either of those things. I’m just worried that if she tells the cops they’ll investigate me and I’ll get an arrest record for something as stupid as this

ive done worst op youll be fine
had the fbi on my ass and nothing happened

The FBI is a lot busier than local cops. I’d worry that a local police department in the suburbs is more motivated to investigate things like what I did

Dude just watch the show catfish. Has there ever been an episode that led to an arrest? Suicide? You bet. Murder? Half of season 1. Anal rape by a relative? Every now and then

Wait, you were the one doing that to whoever is the one posting the text in your pictures?

Had they ever exchanged nudes on the show though? And haven’t laws been updated since and because of that show?

OP Here:

I apologized to the girl after she said we can keep talking as more than friends, even if we don’t see each other for a long time. Is this a mistake? Should I stick by the being just a friend thing/break up? Or should I delay it knowing I can drag it out for as long as possible until she either messes up or we can fade away more naturally?

kek yeah

her tryna get ppl to report my catfish account lul

Did you take any precautions to avoid getting caught? Like a VPN or something?

nope

That is sort of a relief, though I think the fbi is probably too busy to focus on smaller stuff like that. Meanwhile local police are going to have more free time to focus on things like what I did

the cops are probably already on the way my friend told this girl his name was Jeff when its really Steven and got nudes from her, did 3 years

These types of posts are very unhelpful and only fuel my anxiety and paranoia

Tell her you are gay

just sayin bro receiving nudes without verified identification is a big deal, your liable if you dont send photo copy ID

I know this is just poking fun at the situation, still worries me though

OP you need anxiety medication

I second this. How can she be mad if you’re gay?
