Cyber Creeps

Real-Life Investigations of Internet Crimes Against Children

De: Randall Snyder

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Most of the true crime genre centers around the gritty and bloody world of homicide, serial killers and those crimes that are sensationalized in the media. But what about the crimes that take place behind the keyboard, impacting hundreds of thousands of the most vulnerable and innocent victims? Since the popular Dateline show To Catch a Predator, very little attention has been provided to pull back the veil of secrecy surrounding internet crimes against children. Until now.
Go down the electronic rabbit hole through a series of true cases conducted revolving around the world of child molesters, internet predators and the taboo sexual practices of those who prey on children online. Through a series of true stories from actual cases, Det. Randall Snyder will shine a light on the secretive world of child sexual exploitation, sharing his successes and failures in apprehending dozens of offenders around the world, and at the same time, rescuing children and providing readers with educational information and advice to help children stay safe online.
These tales, sometimes funny, often unbelievable, and sadly, uncomfortably disturbing but true, will uncover a side of the internet that few acknowledge, even fewer will brave contact with, but which need to be exposed so that children can be better protected in the cyber-age.
Follow Randall through his notable career working child sex crimes and Internet Crimes Against Children, examining the cases, offenders, and situations that resulted in prosecutions and rescues in 33 states and eight different countries across three continents. You will also learn about the dark side of the web, and how the years of undercover work with the seediest parts of society impacted his life, family, and his path to redemption.

A Look Into A Dark World

The author uses a cynical narrative that guides listeners through some of his work as an ICAC Investigator. His storytelling really gives listeners a peek into the dark realms most think are still hidden in the dark web. The unfortunate truth, as he tells us, the depravity has made its way into the daylight and exists alongside the places most of us are doomscrolling in every day. With Academia citing recidivism in online offending as only a small percentag if the offenders, well, then why is NCMEC receiving tips in such escalating & alarming rates? Are we to belive then, that these are all new recruits into the world of offenders? The rise in compartmentalizing and minimizing the offending behaviors will only see increases with harmful 'SA' lingo touting it as merely a symptom of an addiction. Without seeking true accountability and using a model of addiction based on escalation, the reality that CSAM is not and never should be equated with anything other than ABUSE. The same goes for bestialoty. These are not escalating serial behaviors. These are abusive behaviors and what these people are actually viewing are Crime Scenes. Stop confusing offending & abusive behaviors with the compulsive natures of a pirnograohy addiction. Sad thing is, in the cast internet world, the word pornography become a catch-all phrase. We need a broader vocabulary that can easily distinguish what it is the viewer is watching and/or doing. Use the real words people! This isn't Playboy!
