Anyone remember me?
Edit: Wow, for my first text post on here, I did not expect all the praise I got here that I wouldn't get with how censored Reddit has become.

Yup, I’ve seen the same there. Saw the same thing on Tumblr and MSN/AOL/IRC back in the day as well. Pedos are very aware of the need for platform redundancy and out of band communications with the subjects they’re grooming. A tactic I’ve observed with non-CP but very close to it is developing a dependent relationship between a shared account funded by multiple individuals who can present themselves as a wealthy patron helping a distressed minor poster out. Then that relationship is developed and escalated intentionally to the point that the groomed individual doesn’t realize that they’re down the rabbit hole. Once they’re technically legal that relationship and investment is leveraged maliciously. In the specific case I’m thinking of it was “send nudes with face or all our private chats are going to be sent to the deans at the colleges you applied to”. If the groomed individual caves which they did in this case then that information is just used to abuse them further. It’s a vicious and perverse cycle.
As a side thing from my actual job, I have been asked to aide in identifying pedos who are grooming or worse. One such case was a older man using snapchat to post nudes in a mixed age group. Many minors of both genders. He went further and directly dm'd many of the girls with propositions. It gets worse, as he also posted videos of his very young son doing taught things like humping a pillow.
At the request of a friend who was in that group, I joined and many users started sending me the incriminating material. I took 2 minutes and doxxed the pedo. It really is not hard with scant info. Contacting the local police and working with a detective, we got a case going. Went to State and federal partners. They worked it diligently, but snap balked at subpoenas.
While they balked, that pedo groomed an 8 year old into his home and sodomized her many times. He was arrested for that and it is multiple felonies. The case is dragging on due to covid, but the case I started is ongoing, as is such with fed type cases. The laws he broke were US Code cross state lines types.
Anyway, I am credentialed to work between local/State and federal courts and work with evidence gathering, chain of custody and verification. My goal is to go independent. I want to do private work and help those who cannot defend themselves. I have been obtaining my credentials for PI, PPS and more. I do not plan to get rich doing this work, but make some kind of living out of necessity. Making friends and contacts in various agencies at all levels is helpful.
There have always been creeps, but they are emboldened more than ever. I also came to realize that despite crime data showing such crime as declining, it is erroneous as they only learned to hide better. Human trafficking is real and disgusting.
They’ve just developed new tools. You’re not going to be alone in your endeavors. I recently located an individual targeting Latina minors while posing as a German in his mid 20s. I was able to get back to a physical address, employer, and tacit admission of guilt within about eight hours of research.
Sounds like you’ve pursued some form of traditional education in the field. I’ve spoken to PIs that are practicing actively recently and they’ve said that the majority of their work is for insurance companies and that is what those courses really prepare you for (and divorces). Has that been your experience? Asking because I do intend to get involved professionally (background in digital forensics).
One more thing. Digital forensics. If you have the aptitude and resources to go that route, do it. An emphatic do it at that. It is the future and is now.
The bulk of traditional PI works is moral cases of infidelity (no thanks) and insurance fraud like workmans comp abuse. Again, not that interesting. However, finding a niche is what I do and have had my own businesses before with success.
My basic training is decades of open source research. That is how I ultimately pursued my current work. I am not a fed, but a liaison essentially. I am a good user of e-things and resources. Over the years I helped in many cases that often pop up in places like conspiracy.
I have to get ready to go in to work now. I will get back to you when able. I work at night and despite the current 12am to 5am curfew in Virginia, I am able to be out. I would go out anyway if I wanted to. Coonman Northam is not my boss.
There's a statement that'd get you banned on Reddit these days. Can't disrespect the Democrats' baby.
I have not been to reddit in longer than I can remember. I used to go to the conspiracy sub prior to the 2016 election and it changed. I am happy to see this coming here.
