Well, look at it optimistically...perhaps he just has a very odd fetish that he wishes to engage in consensually. Crushing isn't too uncommon, after all...

So glad I'm moving to a metropolitan city and out of the deep South.

So. Glad.

The good news is that, maybe there'll be enough backlash about this. Things aren't really like they were 20 years ago.

Well, if he actually does it, it will be effortless to prove that it was a premeditated act, and so he will get a stronger sentence... then get buttpounded in jail, which no doubt, is his secret passion, as will likely be revealed when he gets caught having sex with men at a bar in the bathroom stall.

Homophobia is common in the insecure.
