A US law enforcement officer made a typo when they noted a username involved in child luring. The incorrect username was traced to a Nova Scotia man, who was charged and found guilty, solely on the basis of the incorrect username.
The guy, Brandon Klayme, ended up spending 18 months in jail due to the typo. The incorrect username was enough to get the guy convicted and jailed.
I’m surprised this hasn’t been a bigger story.
Like, how was he even convicted? The only evidence they has was a kik account name. They didn’t have messages, they didn’t have other info on his computer, nothing. Where is proof beyond a reasonable doubt?!
That’s what I find so shocking. There was literally nothing incriminating other than the username.
