[ about OP's 23 year old sister molesting her 11 year old adoptive brother ]

TIFU:By admitting to my parents that I helped pay my sister's bail

This can't be a serious TIFU. If it is, your sister molested a 11 year old boy and a family member at that. We're not talking statutory rape either, which is still wrong of course, but this is outright pedophilia and child molestation. She is a sexual predator and hopefully she gets some serious jail time. As for you, well, I think your actions are indefensible and you deserve whatever consequences come your way.

Well, I posted on ELI5 and since my brother is 11(10 when it started) my sister isn't a pedophile, but more likely a hebephile.She may be a predator, but she does not need jail time.My sister needs help not prison.

She intentionally harmed another person, even worse she harmed a child. If anything deserves prison that's it. I'm not sure what the folks in ELI5 said but someone who molests a 10 year old I think qualifies as a pedophile.

Honestly I'm not sure if she actually hurt my brother.My brother was fine at the time of the sexual contact and he only changed and became gloomy when she left.He keeps telling me and our parents how much he misses our sister.I think there's a certain age of the child where the perpetrator becomes a hebephile and not a pedophile and 11 is around the age where it enters into hebephile territory

11 is at the very bottom end, and you said it started when he was 10. She's a pedophile. Your sister is sick and frankly you sound a little sick yourself. Hopefully your sister spends a good amount of her life in prison. And given your indifference to your brother being victimized I hope you see some life altering consequences yourself...you def seem to need a reality check.

Well than I have to disagree with you.As I said many times my sister doesn't need jail time she needs help.Fortunately she's an attractive, white woman from an affluent family who's done a lot of good in our community.If what the things I've read is correct than she'll probably get a lenient sentence and that's what I'm praying for.

You are almost as bad as your sister. I feel bad for your poor brother, and I hope that your parents send you away so that he doesn't have to live with your disgusting pedophile enabling behavior. He deserves siblings that don't rape him, and siblings that don't enable his rapist and then diminish what he went through.

I know it's not the politically correct thing to say,but I do doubt whether my sister hurt my brother.I've gotten a lot of pms saying that they consensually had sex at ages 10 and 11 and they turned out fine.I also remember there was a thread where people lost their virginities at young ages and they turned out fine as well.My brother was fine at the time of the sexual contact, but he's gloomy now because he misses our sister.He keeps telling me how much he misses Lily
I'm not defending what she did I'm just trying to help and care for her to the best of my abilities.
