It doesn’t bc he never did anything to him as a child…
I'm afraid you don't know what grooming is
It’s not grooming but the age gap is in poor taste..
At least read the Wikipedia page on grooming before arguing from ignorance, bye:
> Sexual grooming is the action or behavior used to establish an emotional connection with a vulnerable person under the age of consent– and sometimes the victim's family, to lower their inhibitions with the objective of sexual abuse. It can occur in various settings, including online, in person, and through other means of communication. Children who are groomed may experience mental health issues, including "anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and suicidal thoughts".

Inb4 "didn't molest him so it's not grooming" sometimes, groomers don't get the chance to abuse. I know, crazy.
I think that counts as grooming.
