      1 quotation marks are not need in this case. 2 Pedophiles are everywhere. It’s just when they are found in Hollywood people say “Hollywood is full of pedophiles” and not “Pedophiles with money, resources, and influence are a dangerous combination”

      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.

    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.

      (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 (…)

            No, I seriously don’t see how that comment could be considered incriminating. That would mean that no adult could ever talk to kids. Which shouldn’t need to be explained just how stupid that is.

              Mentioning seeing a “hot little girl” who is also a “kid” isn’t incriminating? Maybe there’s nothing immediately legally-actionable about it, but Wheel of Fortune was absolutely right to give him the ol’ heave-ho over it. Best case (for them), it’s the grossest sentence ever written. Worst case, there’s about to be an investigation that will land him in jail for the rest of his life. Either way, firing him is a reasonable consequence for being odious.

                “oh, maybe that person was just a random deviant and isn’t connected to the rest of the chat.” Then why didn’t anyone call him out? Why wasn’t he banned?

              Even in the incredibly unlikely scenario that was written by a child, why is this grown man participating in the conversation?

              Come on, have some common sense. It’s quite obvious what’s happening here. This is also not the only relevant piece of the transcript.

          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”

    The stupidity to open your pedo chatroom in public while sitting RIGHT NEXT TO OTHER PEOPLE who can definitely see your screen, and with people behind you, who can look directly at what you’re typing and reading without even hiding their spying.

    Some next level stupid. But I’m glad he did it. Prick.

      I was on a plane last December and the woman in the aisle seat in front of me was watching that popular ER drama. When it got to a part where a guy had an erection issue she paused and zoomed way in. Just stared at it for just simply too long. Then suddenly gave a start and glanced around her until we made eye contact.

      Yes, you are in public. We saw that.

      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.
