I just don’t understand how a person could be so dumb as to send something illegal, regardless of what it is, to a single person over telegram—which is clearly not a private method of communication. It’s obviously a cop.
which is clearly not a private method of communication.
When Telegram touts itself as secure encrypted communication and how it values privacy, I can understand why he thought he'd be safe. He looks like he's probably in his 40s like I am, meaning he's old enough to not get this sort of thing because he didn't grow up with it.
Edit: Not defending what happened, I'm glad he was caught and I don't care that he didn't understand what Telegram was advertising.
Anyone in their 40s grew up with technology and should know that it can never be trusted.
And it wasn’t telegram that (probably) gave them away. They probably met someone online in a an insecure place, then suggested they move to telegram to trade files. Dumb dumb dumb.
Gdi, I hate when shitty people commit crimes that the right will use in their propaganda. Now they'll start calling all porn stars groomers and use him as justification for the label and for banning porn. They already used the word; he just gave them a ton of ammo. Too bad he wasn't an accountant or something.
Same, not a famous porn star, but then again I only saw him through the lens of other people. Austin is great at masking the reprehensible part of himself, which is quite a worrisome skill to possess; I'm glad they caught him because the harm CSAM causes is immense.
I didn't feel anything was off with this dude; nothing seemed amiss, which truly caught me off guard. I guess you could say that pedos and other predators have a 'something is amiss' vibe, as I've picked them out before knowing a person long. Like certain customers or fellow co-workers, politicians or other people that spend way too much time on camera. There's something that most people unconsciously project in actions, direction of gaze, and other non-verbal cues that often tells me a lot about them before knowing them. Most of the time it's not bad stuff, just things that people occasional do or feel.
