Can you elaborate? Are you saying “yikes” as in, “yikes, that guy makes an amazing point” or “yikes, that guy just defended a dirty pedo”

Sure, Jeff’s grooming of an underage girl is obviously illegal and pretty creepy, but it’s made clear that Hayley is an unusually mature and intelligent 14-year-old. At no point did I feel that Jeff was taking advantage of Hayley or manipulating her into doing something she didn’t want to do. With that in mind, Jeff’s crime doesn’t seem all that heinous.

Hayley on the other hand drugs, assaults, physically and psychologically tortures Jeff. Aside from the underage grooming, she had no evidence that he had committed any crime at all.

By the time Jeff kills himself, Hayley’s mind games have got him so messed up that the suicide may not even be a clear admission of complicity in the crimes. It could just be an escape from the horrible position Hayley has put him in.
