24-year-old Randy Montante, of Dearborn, Michigan, has been charged with allegedly soliciting and receiving explicit images from a 13-year-old girl over the mobile messaging app Kik. He is also accused of having the girl appear naked over the video chat client Skype. Montante was said to have the oh-so-original Kik username of ‘doimakeyourandy.’ The victim originally told Montante that she was 18 but then revealed her true age, but Montante was said to persist.

The victim lived in New Jersey, where the mother discovered the messages between Montante and her daughter and contacted local police. Police took over the girl’s account and again brought up the matter of the girl’s age. Montante was said to reply with the age-old creeper credo…

“A good friend of mine said if you like someone, and it’s real, age doesn’t matter.”

It never does to predators. Nor does the safety, well-being, or the resulting mental damage to their victims.
