Tehran, IRAN – A shocking statement made by an Iranian social media influencer has sparked a national outrage, prompting authorities to launch an investigation into the matter. The influencer, who has over a million followers on Instagram, was recorded making explicit and disturbing comments about child sex, claiming that having sex with a child under the age of 18 is not a problem.
According to reports, the influencer was responding to a question on live streaming about a topic that he felt entitled to share his opinions on. In a shocking display of callousness, he said: “تو خودت تو سکس اون کودک مشکلی نمیبینی، اگه کسی که میکنه سنش زیر ۱۸ باشه یعنی ۱۷ ساله ۱۰ ساله بکنه برات مشکلی نیست” which translates to “Don’t you see any problem in having sex with a child, if the person is under 18, 17 or even 10 years old, then it’s not a problem for you”.
The influencer’s comments have sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many calling for his arrest and prosecution. The hashtag JusticeForChildVictims has been trending on Iranian social media platforms, with thousands of people condemning the influencer’s statement and demanding action from the authorities.
The Iranian government has taken swift action, launching an investigation into the matter and vowing to take the necessary steps to protect children from such heinous crimes. “We will not tolerate any form of child abuse or exploitation,” said a spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Justice. “We will ensure that those responsible for these comments are brought to justice and punished accordingly”.
The influencer’s Instagram account has been suspended, and he has been banned from using the platform. However, many are calling for more severe punishment, including imprisonment and a lifelong ban on social media.
The incident has raised concerns about the spread of child exploitation materials on social media and the role that influencers play in shaping public opinion. It is also a wake-up call for the Iranian government to strengthen its laws and regulations to protect children from abuse and exploitation.
As the investigation continues, many are left wondering about the motivations behind the influencer’s comments. Was he simply seeking to provoke a reaction, or did he genuinely believe that child sex is acceptable? Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: his comments have had a profound impact on the Iranian public, and his actions will have consequences.
The international community is also paying close attention to the matter, with many human rights organizations condemning the influencer’s statement and calling on the Iranian government to take action. The incident is a stark reminder of the importance of protecting children’s rights and the need for a zero-tolerance policy towards child abuse and exploitation.
