Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Enough police to arrest street level weed dealers, but not enough to moniter A PRE MADE LOST OF CONVICTED PEDOPHILES. Bruh you can't make this up. How are cops so maliciously useless.

This is good reporting. I'm glad there's still people who will notice this bizarre kind of thing and start digging.

Something is truly mind-boggling here, like where he's getting all this money from.

This is disgusting.

Emphasis on START digging. I thought that was a terrible article. All questions, almost no answers.

That's a pretty good point, and I agree. It was "This is a weird and sinister mystery!" and that's pretty much it.

I hope it at least builds some attention momentum for others with maybe more assets or connections at their disposal to hone in on what's really going on here and bring it to light.

I still do not understand what's going on with this.

  1. What is the end goal? Is he just sexually excited by hiring children to roleplay him being famous, or is the hope (for him. A terrible word obviously) that he will have some opportunity to assault or abuse one of these children?
  2. Where is the money from? This question should be what the cops focus on. He or someone is bankroling this bizarre behavior somehow. If what he is doing is illegal (which I also still don't know if it is??) then shut the money down and jail the people bankroling it.
  3. I just really don't understand

The Metropolitan Police said that a 39-year-old man is wanted by them for breaching restrictions placed on his activities, and is also separately being investigated for "any possible" fraud offences.

What’s the point of including this paragraph, when the story doesn’t include a name or photo? It’s completely useless.

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

I believe they are referring to Jhaj.

It's cops talk for "we for some reason can't name the person you are asking about, but we are investigating a person who exactly matches their description.

Translation: "we wish to look like we are doing our jobs"
