How stupid do you have to be to look at that in public?
He literally was getting off on it. In the messages he was talking about all people could see was "a screen with a few lines on it" and was telling the other people in the chatroom that he was going to open up a CP Gallery site.
Protected, not stupid.
not stupid, just don’t need to hide with this DOJ
I zoomed in to see what they are saying and they're mostly talking about names, then one guy says something creepy in the middle about golden corrall. How do they know it's a pedo chatroom? Could it just be some IRC-style chat where someone said something obscene in the middle?
The full article has images that are MUCH more damning. They were discussing how risky it was for him to be in that chatroom in an airplane and discussing looking at and handling CP.
Takes one to know one. Hopefully the person taking the photo works with law enforcement somehow and that's why they know.
(in green) Went to Golden Corral for the first time with my dad and his wife yesterday. A nice hangout for kids. Saw a couple cute boys and a hot little girl (...)

BARF
prolly from the url plus you could track his user there now
My eyes are getting worse, doesn’t it say Lifeline Chat? I would have assumed that was the suicide hotline chat.
I think that's what it says too. But I also wouldn't expect a child predator chatroom to be call something like "letstalkabouthavingsexwithchildren.chat"
He said in another chat window that he's obscuring the url with lifeline and all people could see was colourful lines anyway.
URLs compressed to shit
fucking EWWWW
Found a better pic of the screen. I'm assuming he's the one with the green text..
That image suggests that he's some kind of moderator/admin! The chat log says that the same guy talking about chatting "from the sky" also approved a chat message with a link in it.
Also the pedo excuse of "it's more common than we like to pretend." 🤮
Wtf is that site that made him so paranoid to be on it? Then brags about the URL hidden while still saying the name of the site in his message along with what I assume is a known CP media site....
I'm glad it did happen but also... What a fucking idiot. The fact that he is that bold makes me think he has been getting away with this shit for a long time.
How is this site still active? WTF.
Drumpy DOJ....
there are obscure sites, that will do this as well, some sites that looks Normal but if you dig deep enough . some will have inneundos as well, often times its also paired with beastiality too.
Harry Dubois, what have you done with Cunno?!
