https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/07/police-missed-one-underscore-and-sent-the-wrong-man-to-prison/A 2018 child-luring investigation, which began in Madison, Wisconsin, and eventually extended to Halifax, Canada, was based on a false premise.Police were looking for a man using the Kik messaging service under the name “fus__ro_dah” (two underscores after “fus”), but they accidentally requested records for the username “fus_ro_dah” (one underscore after “fus”). This one-character difference led them not to the perpetrator but to a Canadian man named Brandon Klayme.(Ars readers may recognize “fus ro dah” as the Unrelenting Force “dragon shout” from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.)Despite finding no evidence of the crime on his digital devices, Canadian police arrested Klayme in 2020 on child sex abuse charges. He was convicted after a trial in 2023 and sentenced in 2024 to 18 months in prison. He served the full term.Even after release, Klayme continued to fight his conviction. In the process of preparing his appeal, the username mistake that led to all these years of disruption was finally discovered. On Thursday, the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal overturned Klayme’s conviction, writing: “Mr. Klayme is factually innocent of the offences. He should never have been charged, let alone convicted.”
>>539759104This is why I don't use social media of any kind.
Canada is a silly place
>>539759104>The cops then obtained a search warrant for Klayme’s residence and took phones and laptops from his bedroom. Searching these devices produced no evidence relevant to the case. Nothing linked Klayme to the girl. No intimate images were found. Klayme did have a Kik account, but cops couldn’t even show that he had accessed the service during the period in question.>Still, Klayme was arrested and hit with three charges:>Luring a person under 14 years of age by means of telecommunication>Providing sexually explicit material to a child>Possession of child pornography>The case went to trial, where Klayme was found guilty. He then went to prison for 18 months. No one involved, even on the defense side, appears to have noticed the username confusion.Unreal. He did nothing, they found nothing, and yet they found him guilty with literally ZERO evidence to support it.
>>539759104I'm not surprised we convict people with zero evidence.
deserved for being a skyrim fan
I'm not surprised about the initial error leading to his arrest. What I do not understand is how the fuck he was tried and convicted with absolutely zero evidence. The article completely glazed over that part. He spend over a year in jail because of zero evidence. Fuck this MIGA ass country. Nuke israel.
Holy shit
well at least in canadians prisons you probably don't get raped by bbc and then murdered by mexicans.>>539759291evidence? that's very antisemitic of you to demand.
>>539759104KEK!!!!!
>>539759104>Despite finding no evidence of the crime on his digital devices
>>539759233It's yet another reason to stay away from social cancer.
>>539759260Bro they tried to take a woman who had never been to the state a facial recognition camera was in and process her there since she showed up on their system. They just held her in jail. I wish this was a chance to just point and laugh at leafs(That's the proper plural when dealing with Canadians, yeah?)
>>539759370I'm pretty sure you get raped by hindu rapists in Canadian jail.
>>539759348This. The mistake is bad. The conviction should lead to fucking criminal charges against those who made it possible.
>>539759104the absolute state of zogbots
>>539759104I used to be a pederast like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee
If he doesn't become a millionaire on lawsuits your whole faggot failed-state country needs to be burnt to the ground.
>>539759270Our Police are incredibly corrupt and incompetent. They will slap fake charges on you because they know very few people can have the money to hire a competent lawyer to fight them. Its literally "we think you still did it and we dont like you so fuck you" level thinking.>>539759348A lot of the judidiciary and crown attorneys are boomers who have no idea how computers or social media work.
This is what happens when you bar incels from getting jobs. You get a bunch of normies that don't know what Skyrim is and waste everyone's time.Also it's ridiculous that a username that can be freely devised by anyone in world is now being used as a means of identification. These law enforcers watch too much TV.
So what's the real reason they arrested him? You wouldn't believe the lengths the systems go to in order to entrap and destroy people. Seemingly in every country this occurs. And law enforcement will be astounded the blue line exists. Or is that an act? People tend to be performative. It's the design of the system. It tells you to, forces you too, then gaslights you for it. It will call you fake, evil, whatever it can. All to keep you in compliance and control. It will mirror and create situations to make you second guess yourself at all times too. So in that every little thing keeps you paranoid and watchful. And even that will be held against you. And should you prove it all, it shrugs it off, maybe gives some pitiful punitive compensation, and then carries on. Think about it- were you doing things wrong from the start, or were you introduced to bad things, then blamed for said bad things, told you have all agency, and then subsequently asserted to not have any real agency once you call their bluff and try?
How can you face prison time when no evidence is found?
Yes our country must be such a shit hole and yet...
>>539759270That's Canada for you. They prefer to kill people instead of treating them. Wtf do you think was gonna happen
>>539759688Good fucking question but here we areWelcome to our new anglosphere. You're ahead of us I think.
>>539759104>>539759270>yet they let shit skin child murderers walk free
>>539759386I know that play, it doesnt say a word about jews, why are you lying
>After this was pointed out, prosecutors took another look. They agreed that Klayme’s appeal should be allowed. Had the case been properly investigated, the court says now, evidence “would have identified an individual whose first name is Jay whose IP address appears to be in California.”That's right, Jay.
>>539759104Wow the future is retarded
>this is the free democracy with due rights I was telling you about!
>>539759233This is why I'm ready and willing to end the life of any agent of tyranny attempting to illegitimately deprive me of my liberty
Why even bother being a law abiding citizen at that point? With a crime like that you'll have vigilante pedophile smashers showing up on your doorstep too.
>>539759233you're on social media right now, dumb jeet.
>>539759511Government workers are a mafiaThey don't convict themselves
>>539759688He was white. Judge was a jew. That’s how. Simple as.
>>539759600>Our Police are incredibly corrupt and incompetent. They will slap fake charges on you because they know very few people can have the money to hire a competent lawyer to fight them. Its literally "we think you still did it and we dont like you so fuck you" level thinking.We've got more of a "the process is the punishment" system here, they're rarely if ever capable of actually convicting you of bullshit charges, but they'll happily waste years of your life forcing you to fight them.>>539759688>How can you face prison time when no evidence is found?They must have used the initial dick pick and messages that kicked off the investigation as evidence, but all of it should have been thrown out the second ZERO connection to the accused could be found. They literally had his fucking kik account and it had none of the messages he supposedly sent. His lawyer must have been complete and utter dogshit.
>>539759104Nothing to hide nothing to fear, goy.
>>539760233Kek this. The gullible retards who still giving up your privacy to the government is a good thing and the only people upset about it have something to hide have another thing coming.
>>539759233how do you meet girls? Almost every girl is on social media.
>>539759104>let actual rapists run around because racism>too fucking lazy to fix a typo and admit it and send a white person to prison instead>everyone cheersCanada is so fucked
>>539759790>Maxwell and epstain himself, retard. Also all the people who resigned across the globe for secret house arrest. You LOST
>>539759104>no evidence found >gets convicted anyway Insane
>>539762805>how do you meet girls? Almost every girl is on social media.
>>539759688because the government can do whatever they want because they possess a monopoly on violence and you're not allowed to protect yourself as such an act would be considered "terrorism"the liberal state is expected to merely check and balance their own power and not overreach out of goodwill. guess what happens when they decide they don't feel like doing that anymore? you're finding out now
>>539759104So what, does he get any kind of reparations? He deserves like $10 million at least, I'd say
>>539759104Nothing to fear from surveillance state because its run by the most competent people :^)
>fus__ro_dah>fus_ro_dahAre boomers seriously sending people to prison because two people thought of similar xXx~Sephiroth~xXx vs XxX-Sephiroth-XxX level basic bitch names on two different platforms?How many other people are in prison right now because they named themselves _Pikachu_ or Roblox__OOF67? If this is a thing that can happen some millennial or zoomer lawyers need to go over basically every username involved conviction in Canada and the US, there's some easy settlement money waiting for you, nevermind freeing innocent men.
that judge absolutely must be invited to a pvp minecraft server
4chan is el compromisedo too
good. every single canadian should be jailed, and preferably raped. in front of their families.
>>539759658>So what's the real reason they arrested him?Exactly. The real story here is that he probably insulted some billionaire oligarch by accident irl (praise the oligarchs, this post is satire, hail our glorious leaders) who then paid someone in the FBI to entrap him as revenge hoping he would be murdered in prison, but the mutt enforcement officer in question shit the bed and used a double underscore in the username because ESL diversity points, which led to his arrest and eventual imprisonment.>Its all pay to play. If you bribe the right people you can buy a pardon. How much easier must it be to bribe the right people to produce a conviction. He was "factually innocent" but imprisoned anyway. Remember this case when discussing politically charged operations like the murder of Charlie Kirk, controlled demolition of 3 World Trade Center towers on September 11 2001, or the missile that hit the Pentagon whose damage was supposed to have been caused by United 93 but the passengers helped expose the global coup launched against the American people.
>>539759688Someone paid to have him convicted. You can buy a pardon. You can buy a conviction.
>>539759104>claim not to be a third world countrykek, if the thing missing is favelas, don't worry, jeets will make them in due time. well, they don't make favelas, they make jeet slums.
>>539759233I once got interviewed for a classified position in the public sector and the HR roastie asked me for my social media presence. I said I dont have any and she was shocked asking me what I do when I surf the web. Needless to say I didnt get the job.
>>539759104lmao i love this propaganda HO-HA!!!:D "a missing underscore, sent innocent man to prison for 18months" xDDDDDDDDD no judge or shitty laws or shitty investigation, no no, noooo... it was a fkn "missing underscore" dam bitch, I've already ripped the dam bitch out of the fkn keyboard, i don't want a judge, jury, and executioner right here under my fingertips. holy fuckhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsqCcFMj08M
>>539764287>what I do when I surf the webwhat do you do though? using social media is normal, posting about your incel rape fantasies on a pedophilia forum is not normal.
>>539764462I told her I just watch youtube, play video game and watch sport. Which is true beside going here thats all I do but she was interested in the stuff I share and post on Xitter or facebook. Im an oldfag and I grew up without social media so I thought that was normal.
>>539759688you don't wanna even know how normal that is here..our registry is MASSSIVE
>>539759233So a man spend more than an entire year in prison for a crime that was never committed, yet Tapegangs can run havoc and nobody bets an eye? Strange how that works.The fact they they convicted despite admitting that they haven't found any evidence on his devices is infuriating too. Judges, police and jury, heck the entire governing body, should all hang from trees for being such incompetent and/or backstabbing cunts
>>539762805Just kill yourself.If you’re white you can meet women in person.Fucking kill yourself.
>>539759233This is just one of the reasons I don't use it. It's a vector point for fuck heads and psychos to worm their way into your personal life and cause you trouble just for their own enjoyment.
>>539759260Canada is not a serious country, much like china. They're cartoon evil.
>>539759270textbook cucknada, a real dictatorship but the gayest the world has ever seen
>>539759270Were the cops retarded jeets or something? Surely they must be brown for that level of callous incompetence.
>>539759579Yeah that guy should be able to retire now from the lawsuits, those retarded cops just cost the canacuck taxpayer millions of dollars of canadian monopoly money.
>>539759104Cops are always in the wrong. Killing them is always justified.
>>539765495worsewomen and the goodest goys
>>539765437a MAGA retard with a retard answer .)
>>539759762This paradigm is what makes your country a shithole. The more shithole denizens that are allowed to stay the more of a shithole canada becomes.Meanwhile we're fighting a bunch of entrenched communists in our own government to deport the millions of parasites the fraudulent bribem administration brought in.
>>539765692A random little pink wumao FAGGOT is the only one to get butthurt at the reality of china being a shithole being pointed out. You glow brighter than our own glowniggers, you dumb little chankoro bitch.
>>539759104It took 18 months to resolve a typo. What a high functioning system.
>>539765495I think it was on purpose dude. Somebody paid to make sure he got locked up
>>539759233>>539765113Oopsie daisy. Was meant for OP:So a man spend more than an entire year in prison for a crime that was never committed, yet Tapegangs can run havoc and nobody bets an eye?

>>539759233OK but how fucking rare is that?
>>539765815I think the cops are just retarded assholes who didn't want to admit they fucked up so they kept going with it. Lots of people are like this, narcissists.
>>539765113They did this to Trump and many in his circle here too. No underlying crime yet still convicted of dumb bullshit. Soulless narcissists and sociopaths.
>>539765770are you crying rightr now, sweetie .)
Back the blue!
>>539759270actual fucking madness
>>539759104>username “fus_ro_dahDeserved it (and longer).
>>539759511send the cops and prosecutor to jail for 18 months, only seems fair. tell them it's just a typo, no big deal.
>>539764287I social media check anyone who wants to take a pic with me to ensure they are following me on my authentic platforms.
>>539759688I'm sure you'll get first hand experience soon enough good luck bro.
>>539764287The motherfucking World Wide Web and Internet at large was literally designed for the sharing of information and data between people, institutions. It was never meant to be a social experience, it’s a tool for learning. When I surf the web, I’m always looking for more information, more data pertaining to my interests and needs- as God intended.
>>539766406killyourself
>>539766406Second screen experiences have existed since the early days or the WWW.
>>539765952Wumaos are the laziest and dumbst shills to ever stumble into 4chan. Your hamfisted tactics belie your low verbal IQ.
>>539759104The people who live in this country regularly try to convince us that theyre better than us. Think about that for a moment.
It's a grim reminder you won't find justice in courts here, nationwide.Acquittal Rate (Cases Reaching Verdict): Approximately 3.6% of completed criminal trials that reach a verdict end in acquittal (2017-2018 data).Overall Conviction Rate: About 62% of adult court charges result in conviction( some provinces are as high as 80%).Roughly 1/3 of charges are withdrawn or stayed before verdict.Most convictions come from guilty pleas rather than trial verdicts
>>539764462>appeal to normality>caring what normal and what isn'tWho asked you?
>>539766773The HR roastie asked, dumb retard.
>>539765495You assume incompetence before malice, which in many other cases would be fair. In this case, it is not. The justice systems across all western nations are intentionally weaponized against the population, persecuting the innocent and accommodating the guilty.
>>539766874More like I hope for incompetence lol.
>>539759688Something doesn't add up here. He was both arrested and convicted without evidence apparently.
>>539766700well, we're more alike than we like to admit, we're basically Americans who think we're not.Our only identity is being not American.
>>539759348idk about canada but here they can send you in prison if you are the "most probable culprit" even with 0 evidence
>>539767145They literally did this to BLORMPF! with that crazy dingbat bitch who accused him of raping her in that department store. They never proved anything yet still fined him.
>>539767231Aay, you probably did it, because we don't have anybody else, sounds about right.
>>539767145That's what happens when brown people run your judicial system
>>539759511And Vigilante Justice for all truly responsible. Kidnapping, illegal confinement and torture should not be tolerated.
>>539764462>rape fantasies on a pedophilia forum is not normalgood deduction sherlock, but do you know how many women are actually being raped or murdered in real life, while you're reading my shitty comment?If nobody stops the REAL rapes, why should I care if any goddamn perverts are fantasizing with other perverts spouting nonsense all together in a shitty chat on a vietnamese server??? those guys trade pedo pics and they do any shit beyond chatting? lol then judge them with fair laws in a neutral court, like always...but state duty is to protect people and their properties, not to be our moral arbiters; that’s why we handed that responsibility over and created the cops institution and the courts, so we don't need to go around armed like all the history before that shit, but since that foundation of the cops and courts, the state changed and grown massively.all this propaganda is to shut the truth with fear xDDD, and also a moral justification for control and domination over the masses, fine, coerce, censor, but not protection of kids and the citizen's individual freedoms and civil rights,they shield their speech with protect us against the internet, that cesspool of crime against children and scammers and 4chan xDD; they hide their intentions behind the philanthropic protection of the common good, they named themselves guardians of the collective welfare and beacons for undetermined "progress".who doesn't want to protect the kids or a collective high wealth for everybody?, progress and freedom for all?pfff...If any politician stops lying and restores the right to self-defense, they’ve got my vote... i’m sick of paying taxes and be defenseless, flooded with propaganda against internet and free speech and the trad nation in general, living in a huxley+bladerunner+black-mirror racemixed feudo-dystopian society... lol... what the fuck is this shit? no really, wtf is this? i mean, this is a betas world, not an alphas world...nope?
I hope to see every mountie and Canadian state worker die a gruesome death
>>539767968Like you guys are any better, your policing and legal system is pretty messed up as well.
>no evidenceso they found out he had an identical IP or other forms of pedo shit on his computers.
>>539759104Cops are child rapist jewish freemasons who are blackmailed by Jeffery Epstein.
>>539759270>Police found no evidence>Still, Klayme was arrested and hit with three chargesAll cops are traitors who should have their families thrown into a woodchipper, in Minecraft.
>>539759830I can only imagine how it would feel to be Jay and read about this. It would be as confusing as puberty but without any teachers to help
>>539765495Jewish Anarcho tyranny. Freemasons kike pedophiles rig court cases. 100% of people in jail need to be freed before putting all cops, judges, and court administration inside FORVER.Look up the shooting of Jeffery weinhaus. Cops rape kids.
>>539759270They can arrest you for nothing. So when you see niggers niggering just remember “they would’ve charged me for the same thing”Kill niggers because your state will let them kill you.
>>539765598>Oh wow he was charged? And they got a warrant? This judge and prosecutor seem really serious.>The victim couldn't prove it ISNT him? Well he must be guiltyOnly white men should serve on juries
>>539759348>Fuck this MIGA ass country. Nuke israel.Hey buddy your flags america but the article says Canada. Are you retarded?
>>539759579problem is inside you have no control over what person or group may attack you. You may have to commit a crime in jail/prison just to survive which gets added to your record and makes you look like a dangerous person
>>539764462seeing a lot of reddit-tier low effort bait like this in basically every thread now. same asinine, bait-inducing questions, same verbiage and tone (always an incel or chud thrown in there, always disgustingly condescending). Are you paid for this or do you do it for free?
>>539759270I kinda find the case hard to believe. What was the Crown's case, even? His defense lawyer should have been able to present an adamantine defense.
>>539759104if he was convicted without evidence, then he accidentally confessed.which is why you shouldn't talk to pigs. if you must call them, only give details pertinent to the case; and leave yourself out
>>5397599184CHIN IS ANTI-SOCIAL MEDIA YOU DUMB SOMALIAN!
