Tech reporter Peter Bright has been arrested for soliciting sex with children online. He was employed by Ars Technica until recently.

A federal complaint alleges that Bright sought to molest a 7- and 9-year-old and met with an undercover agent for this purpose, at which point he was arrested. It also states that Bright claimed to be in a sexual relationship with an 11-year-old. He is currently being held without bail.

According to the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, an undercover FBI special agent made contact with Bright on KinkD, a social media fetish platform, on April 18.

Bright, using the handle “randomanon,” had responded to a message the agent posted a day prior in which she purported to be a mother seeking to connect with people who could teach her children about “birds and the bees.”

The complaint states that in subsequent messages, the agent informed Bright that she had a 7-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son.

At Bright’s urging, the two then began chatting via WhatsApp, which continued for a few weeks. At times using euphemisms, Bright reportedly wrote of molesting both children and raping the 7-year-old. He also allegedly sent pictures of his penis, and photos of test results showing he did not have any sexually transmitted diseases.

And the award for "Tweets that didn't age well" goes to:

What is the climate around Ars Technica? Are they uppity SJW types or bros or what?
Also I hope this guy gets the chair if these charges are legit.
From what I remember of when I last read them, they leaned pretty heavily into the SJW shit. "When I last read them" should tell you that more importantly they're completely irrelevant, though.
 
hehe, I'm also on /pol/ right now and they say Pizzagate is real.

few pics from them

The fact that this did not scream "IT"S A TRAP" to this guy raises the terrifying possibility that he knows other people who actually were pimping out their prepubescent children
 
Man, that Criminal Complaint was not an easy read. For those of you who haven't looked at it, he mentions to the undercover agent that there's an 11-year-old girl he's been having sexual relations with.

I hope they're able to find her and get her some help. Fuck this guy.
