## Resource

A daycare worker turned predator, David James, got 12 years for abusing nine kids—caught when a parent noticed his son’s clothes matched a daycare incident. He lured a boy into a bathroom with threats, filmed the abuse, and hid behind a dark web alias “Remy.” Police cracked his location using metadata from a festival photo, raided his home, and forced a breakthrough when they accessed his phone—revealing mountains of child abuse material. Victims’ parents battled trauma and secrecy, while James, a former law enforcement trainee, acted smug and defiant. After nearly a year of painstaking victim ID work, justice came—but the system’s failures let him keep working with kids until he was exposed.
