He doesn't have to think he'd be accepted, he only has to think he can get in arm's reach. It should also be noted that he didn't think he would be accepted enough to take/give a phone call, or to post his own pictures, so I think it again points to awareness of his deciet, and hoping that by the time he meets up with them, there isn't much that can be done about it in person. That rings a few warning bells.
The person claimed to be the "host" of a system resulting from rape. In fact, the name used by the person was claimed to be their legal name, and through that alone, they gained the trust of many. The pictures posted were claimed to be pictures of mostly her (and her BODY), but some were supposed to be pictures of others while they were "switching". We're also not talking about a few pictures here, we're talking about over a hundred pictures of one girl including in various states of undress, and a few pictures of bleeding wrists sent to people to garner trust and sympathy. (I never recieved a bleeding wrist picture, but I was encouraged to send them pictures because it "would make them feel better", along with others.) There were also other people in pictures with them, who were supposed to be their friends, and another set of pictures which was supposed to be their sister.
In return for this wealth of falsified information, this person got names, photos, phone numbers, and ADDRESSES. The person also convinced people, the ones you are referring to as "teenagers online", to write up fantasies for them tied to their haircut fetish.
It's not about whether or not the person was a multiple or pretending to be one, it's about the lies exchanged for personal information, private information, that someone wouldn't give to someone they didn't feel they knew. This person engendered that feeling, through deceit.
