36-year-old Benjamin Woods was sentenced to over six years in prison for grooming and sexually exploiting young girls online by posing as an 11-year-old girl on platforms like Zoomarang, Discord, and TikTok.
Targeting three New Zealand girls, including two pre-teen sisters, Woods manipulated them into creating and sending explicit content, while also sharing hundreds of child sex abuse images and videos with other pedophiles.
His actions, which spanned from 2020 to 2024, left his victims feeling “broken,” “scared,” and unable to trust others, with profound emotional and financial impacts on their families.
Woods’ crimes were uncovered after a U.S. police informant engaged him online, leading to a police raid that seized devices containing nearly 1,000 objectionable files.
The Court sentenced Woods to six years and five months in jail, with his devices forfeited and his name added to the sex offenders register.
Where are the parents???????????????
If you don’t raise your children, someone else will!!!
THAT is why homeschooling reduces this type of exposure.
A few years back I went to the puberty talk with my daughter and the room was overflowing with parents. I few weeks later I went to the talk ”how to keep your kids safe online” by a world renowned expert and author on the topic. Sadly the audience was less than 25 parents.
