Watching interviews on the Shawn Ryan Show reminded me to write this article as a follow-up to a previous one. You see, there is a moment in every digital-exploitation case where the denial dies. It usually happens when a predator stops pretending to be a decent human and speaks plainly. A Discord user once admitted, without hesitation, that he “has little children because it’s all fun,” then listed the things he tells them to do.
