Thank you so much for joining me today.

I am so happy to have you here.

So you guys, I know that probably all of you can picture someone in your own personal life

that tends to want to, or just

straight out does, date or hang around people who are younger than them. And we are seeing

so much of this in society right now. I know you can definitely picture a celebrity, uh, influencer, public figure,

person in position of power who goes for younger people. It's truly terrifying what has been

senselessly and horrifically taken.

This case makes me so sad.
