Grooming

Most cases of grooming of children would be covered under the Serious Crimes rule. That rule takes precedence over this one where they overlap.

Manipulating a vulnerable person towards sexual acts, self-harm, or physical violence, where deemed to have been done with knowledge of the target's vulnerable state, or with ambition or disregard that the target is underaged, is prohibited.

⚠️ Info-Hazard: Potentially-violating material should be deleted, and its author jailed.
⚠️ External: May apply to activity outside of Cabal.

Where deemed a pattern of activity likely to recur:

⚠️ Terminal: Violators are subject to reprimand without warning.

Terms

Vulnerable Person

A person under the age of 18, or a person with severe and visible mental instability such as suicidal ideation, strong violent impulses, or a trauma-induced vulnerability to further abuse.

Knowledge

Active awareness, or where it is deemed that the conclusion should have been obvious and was available to learn.

Ambition or Disregard

Even if it is not known that the target is a child, the perpetrator may have been acting on the suspicion (ambition) that they were. This should not be applied to cases of innocently-mistaken age, but only where deemed to have been pursued through such belief, maliciously or callously (disregard).
