Seeing this news, I think there are two points to explain. First of all, soliciting in the street is an illegal and criminal act. You can't do such a thing for whatever purpose. If you are really lonely, you can go to a blind date or dating place to find some friends, or find a few like-minded people to live with. Don't do such illegal and criminal things, it will only make you pay the legal price.
Secondly, if your sexual orientation has changed after divorce, which bothers you, you can seek the help of a psychologist or ask similar people about their experiences. Don't solve the problem like this. This method is illegal and criminal. I hope this uncle can reflect on his behavior after receiving the police education, and don't do the same thing again in the future.
Besides, I think it's a good thing that this matter was reported by the masses. Otherwise, if it is serious, the uncle may only pay a higher price. Now the police only criticize and educate him, hoping that he can reflect on his behavior through this kind of education and find a better way out for the future, such as meeting some friends in the outing place and not being too lonely.
