Adventures in Dumbassery

Meet Bob Nickson. He loves cheeseburgers, large gauge piercings, and living at home at the ripe old age of 27. Oh, he also likes posting engagement announcements on Facebook- engagements to his 14 year old girlfriend, that is.

From Philly.com here:

There’s nothing wrong with marrying a girl half your age.

Unless you’re 27-year-old Robert Nickson Jr., whose wedding plans were ruined this week after Delaware County authorities had a chat with his 14-year-old fiancée.

Nickson recently took the girl to the mall and bought her an engagement ring. They met about a month ago through a mutual friend.

The juvenile told investigators that she had sex with Nickson on at least four occasions at the Lower Chichester apartment where he lives with his father.

Nickson has been charged with statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, corruption of minors and related offenses. Nickson and his intended bride knew what they were doing was illegal, but they “didn’t think they would get caught.”

How did they get caught? Facebook, of course. Their profile pictures were photos of the two of them together. And they both posted updates stating that they are “in love” and “engaged.”

What a creep. And its actually surprising that this guy would even have any friends on Facebook, but at least they turned the bastard in for diddling this child.
