Someone needs to give this man millions for what he went through.
>It’s unclear if Klayme will be seeking compensation for the 18 months he spent in prison.
Hopefully bro’s lawyers are just too busy celebrating to have sent the letter yet.
This man’s lawyers need a new job
This could have been avoided if they just copy and pasted.
Canada – No actual evidence of a horrible crime – shitty prosecution finds NOTHING beyond a user name (which technically isn’t the same) – shitty defense can’t manage to show that totally innocent man is totally innocent. who knows what might have happened to him in 18 months in prison with that „rap sheet“.
USA – Tons of evidence of pedo crimes – Elected to Congress or appointed to cabinet position
Beyond the typo (they meant to get data on the username fus__ro_dah but requested fus_ro_dah – missing the double underscore) it’s crazy that they were still able to convict him, seeing as they found nothing related to the crime on him or his devices.
I expect zero consequences for anyone involved in this travesty.
So they found no other evidence connecting him to the conversations in question nor could they verify he even was logged in/using the app at the time yet they still convicted him. Scary
I hope he was not in gen pop…. jfc poor guy
Cops and prosecutors = when stupid, malicious, and pride collide.
I’d like to read some details from the court trial, what was presented as evidence and what the defence was. I’m tired of these thin articles being short on details. How did the guy not realise the username was wrong?
Whenever I advocate for people accused of such crimes that the courts need to have more robust evidence instead of he said/she said allegations i get massively downvoted. This man should have never been convicted with no evidence. How many innocent people have been found guilty? It could have been any of us.
Prosecutor: „Eh, close enough“
How the fuck was he convicted with no evidence?
Hope he sues everyone involved.
Its hard to believe something like this is true. You can get convicted in Canada for child pornography without there being any actual child pornographic evidence? All they had was a username? Wtf. I feel like I need to read the court transcripts. What did the prosecution say to explain the absense of any evidence? Was it not a jury trial? Did the defendant not speak in their own defense? This seems like the perfect example of something being kafkaesque. Do the Cardassians run the Canadian legal system?
How on fucking earth did this guy get convicted? Not a single person apparently looked at the key and by the sounds of it, only piece of evidence? This is the shit that keeps me up at night… I could lose my entire life to some stupid little lazy ass fuck up.
So basically they were just able to convict him because he had what they thought to be the same username, but no other evidence whatsoever?
That’s like finding someone with the same real name and convicting them on that basis alone.
Sue for every penny you can. The fact this went unnoticed after this long is appalling.
Absolutely seek compensation – the guy was labeled as the vile criminal under those charges, and served time. His reputation is basically destroyed, and so the prosecution and police should now pay from their budget the cost of defaming him and it should be a substantial amount that will allow him to live a comfortable life now that his entire life will be marred and questioned because of the records online and on court of his conviction.
Everyone involved in this case should never be allowed to do anything for the government every again.
Forget about the mix up, but how can he even go to trial like this?
>According to Ars Technica, investigators found no evidence connecting Klayme to the underage victim or the conversations at the center of the case. They also could not establish that he had used Kik during the period being investigated.
What the actual fuck? So how was he convicted?
I hate incompetent administrators/clerks. Like seriously. Who TF can’t tell something is jacked with a longer than normal underscore.
Charged an convicted based on zero evidence other than „this company says the user account belongs to you“.
As if accounts are not hacked all the time.
What a miscarriage of justice.
They sent him to prison with a chomo jacket. He could have easily been murdered.
What I am shocked at is that they got convicted, when they couldn’t prove he had used the site just that they had a similar username. If his ISP doesn’t have logs of the IP, if a VPN never gave any information, how can you be sure you have the right person?
He got convicted on such tiny evidence. That’s insane.
he served all 18 months of jail and has had his name ruined??? over nothing?? insane
I would be retiring off that payout. Wrongfully convicted and branded with one of the worst crimes in our society?!? Fuck exactly all of that.
This underscores the need for a good defence lawyer
The fact that a conviction was obtained with no evidence accept account records is insane.
„According to Ars Technica, investigators found no evidence connecting Klayme to the underage victim or the conversations at the center of the case. They also could not establish that he had used Kik during the period being investigated.
Despite this, the Skyrim fan was arrested and later convicted on three charges tied to the child-luring case, including providing sexual material to a child and possession of CP. He received an 18-month jail sentence in 2024 and served the entire term“
So basically, they found no evidence after searching his home and personal electronics. Then arrested him anyways and somehow got a conviction out of it. That sucks dude 🙁
And this is why I’m against death penalty. The Justice system is so trash, people are terrible at their jobs.
Hi, Lawyer here.
I’m just going to say this: his primary defense team (during his first trial) need all of their creditials revoked. Like, 6 years ago when it happened.
There are so many things that could have stopped this that are so obvious from even an outsider’s perspective.
>According to Ars Technica, investigators found no evidence connecting Klayme to the underage victim or the conversations at the center of the case. They also could not establish that he had used Kik during the period being investigated.
He was convicted anyway.
– loss of job
– loss of career earnings (compounding over time plus degradation of skills while in prison)
– unknown relationship status but probably strained at best and gone at worst
– probable PTSD on top of that so heavy mental health impact
– loss of community – even with charges overturned there’s probably some fuckwits going “well, but he probably still did it/something since he got convicted in the first place”
Dude basically needs a whole new life. I hope he gets millions.
this is the most concerning bit:
According to Ars Technica, investigators found no evidence connecting Klayme to the underage victim or the conversations at the center of the case. They also could not establish that he had used Kik during the period being investigated.

how the fuck is this possible? there is no evidence of any crime, and they went ahead and prosecuted him, and somehow got a conviction? WTF.
Literally every single person involved needs to be fired and investigated for malpractice or criminal negligence.
The cops, prosecutors, judge, lawyers, etc… everyone involved failed to do their job.
I don’t understand. How was he convicted? They searched his devices and home and found nothing. What evidence was used to convict him?
The article fails to explain how they got a conviction when his electronic devices had 0 child porn on them.
