I was about to be all WTF if he didn’t have to register as a sex offender. Then I saw he was slammed with a 10 year registration. Good. Better than nothing.
You shoulda read the whole article. This is smack dab in the middle of it: "Dr. Nisha Abdul Cader, a pediatrician with San Luis Obispo County and the prosecution’s expert witness on sexual maturity, said she estimated their ages between 9 and 16 years old based on their physical development."
yep. always seems to be this -- having files on hard drives or on their phones -- that takes down people who do this stuff.
I had a really great time at the drive-in social distanced show they did in Chicago right before Halloween. I would definitely recommend checking this out to anyone who is in the area. it was a ton of fun all things considered.
Steve tells his side... https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tR8q_7iQLqFjAnbhsowU8mhgTHDJR4tp0RMsSdPQ8uE/mobilebasic
Steve - "I had no reason to believe these women were under the age of 18." Expert testimony - "we believe these girls could have been as young as 9." Yeahhhh, you can fuck off.
I think the news here is 30 mins after he told Chad about being charged, NFG fired him. I'm happy they didn't wait around to make that decision.
Yeah, I don’t really understand the people who still beat that drum that somehow Steve’s horrific actions reflect bad on the rest of the members. Seems very, very clear to me nobody but Steve knew what Steve was up to, and they distanced themselves from him about as quick as possible when they were made aware. By all means, think less of Chad in particular for a lot of other scummy things he’s done, I do, but I think the blame is misplaced on this one. Also, fuck Steve Klein.
Did you see the part where it said the pediatrician was using a method to identify that has been questioned ? I always took that DR and that statement to be sensationalized to make Steve look even worse. Which it did succeed in the court of public opinion
I mean, okay, maybe the girls weren’t 9 and didn’t look 9, but there’s NO WAY they looked 18. Steve is scum. His entire defense is a load of garbage.
It doesn’t really matter how many times a site asks you to verify your age. That’s not a great excuse.
I know this isn't the point of any of this but it makes me think how bizarre it is that Omegle exists (and facilitates this sort of interaction between users)
Exactly. I have a hard time believing that someone that was estimated to be 9 could in any scenario be 18+. It's not like the estimated age was 16-17. 9 to 18 is way outside the margin of error.
