Based on what little I can find about this, and the grooming tendency of trannies, I really don't doubt the situation was nasty. There's not a ton to go on though.

Where I'm conflicted is the implication that adult men should never under any circumstance have contact with teenage boys or it's obviously pedophilia. I'm not sure that's a good thing based on my own personal experience. It was good that I had some men other than my dad around when I was that age, and I've been on the older side of it too with friends' kids, family, etc.
