A man jailed for fo[u]r years claims he is still a good dad despite offering his son cocaine and trying to get him to have sex with a 26-year-old prostitute.

“Don’t be a p[u]ssy” the man told his son after he organised for two sex workers to visit a hotel in Bromley, Greater London. The young lad, who cannot be named, bravely told his dad “I’m f***ing 13, that’s ridiculous” when he was offered a line of cocaine.

At his sentencing hearing, the man told Croydon Crown Court he is a great father, despite appearing to have some weird and very skewed views on what is good parenting. "I’m a good father,” he insisted, after he pleaded guilty to arranging for a child to engage in sexual activity as well as offering to supply cocaine.

He told the court: "I might not look like it in your eyes. It was only because he was feeling down because he’d broken up with his girlfriend and he said he’d done all that stuff before.

He added: “So the brass sucked his p****. Job done. Whatever.”

    I imagine they have seen their fair share of reluctant grooms on stag dos and, unless he actually told then he was 13, they had been told he was 18. So technically a crime but he CPS presumably felt it was murky enough that a conviction might be tricky. Unless they were convicted and that bastion of news reporting the Daily Star didn’t bother mentioning it because it wasn’t a good story.

      You know, I don’t think the reluctant grooms make it better. Maybe I just have high moral standards, but I don’t care if you’re being paid to sexually assault someone, you don’t engage in sexual contact with people against their will. I can buy the claims he’s 18, I developed young and had friends who developed slow so maybe he did sound like a grown ass man or something, but still he clearly didn’t want it
