    According to the article, his lawyer states he was just essentially the landlord where a custodial dispute happened. So it sounds like something adjacent to the crime, such as lying to one of the parents about having seen the kid or something. Honestly, my parents got in custodial disputes, and I’ve even had one myself - I was so distraught over it that my emotions almost landed me in a similar situation. Luckily everything resolved itself (my wife thought I was having an affair due to her “friend” trying to convince her of such), but custodial disputes are not anywhere near ‘child sex trafficking’ levels of evil here…

    It’s also not surprising at all that none of the comments thus far have shown any level of critical thought about the article either…

        I wasn’t gonna read the article either tbh; but I embarrassed myself by spouting untrue information based off of the title of an article and being corrected publicly a few months ago so I’m trying to be better about making sure the information I “know” is correct.

      It makes me sad yo see this down voted with so little actual engagement with the content. Come on, Lemmy, you’re better than that!

        I’ve learned that they really aren’t. I have seen this everywhere all week. All of the extremists of reddit seem to be the ones who hopped over, and they’re just as bad as qtards. Everyone is a troll, everyone is a bad faith actor to them, etc. Pretty much decided at this point that it’s just not worth attempting to engage with people online at all any more.
