Summary
A Nova Scotia man spent 18 months in jail for child pornography after being wrongly identified by a single underscore error in a username — a mistake that led investigators to the wrong person entirely. The case, which hinged on a double underscore in a messaging app handle, missed the correct suspect in California, and the court now rules he’s factually innocent. Klayme, who maintained his innocence and claimed his email was hacked, has been released from probation, and his legal team is pursuing reparations for his wrongful conviction.
