There exists a group who have that mindset, where Sam basically ran into a hot babe who coincidentally happened to be 16 and they had a passionate fling. Rockstar stuff, like Mick Jagger or something. The reality is that Sam was seeking teenage girls on Facebook to groom and had to drive through multiple states to pick up a child from high school, to sex traffick her much like Jet does now. After indulging his sick sex fantasies on this underage girl while provably taking many photographs for his own collection, he then had to drive her back across multiple states so she could get back to high school.
This is less HECKIN BASED E-CELEB ROCKSTAR and moreso the trenchcoat pervert flashing children at a playground.
Having to contend with the depths of his depravity, especially after being able to shoulder Big Purple and his diapers on Channing's mental illness for years, would completely break him.
