TL:DR

Okay, so this 44-year-old dude from Cali, Mark David Wallin, just got hit with a whole 40 years in the clink 🔒. He was grooming kids online, including a 12-year-old from Saanich. The deets are kinda messed up, involving some major sus stuff. Parents, keep an eye on your kiddos online, for real.

The Deets

Aight, fam, listen up 'cause this is kinda heavy. This dude, Mark David Wallin, is catching a 40-year bid in federal prison. Why? Because he was out here doing the absolute most online with kids. We're talking producing child pornography and straight-up luring minors into some messed-up situations. It's giving major creep vibes, no cap.

Turns out, he was sliding into the DMs of tons of kids, like dozens, including a 12-year-old girl from Saanich. Her parents found some sus messages and went straight to the police in April 2020. Good lookin' out, parents! The Saanich PD started digging, but quickly realized this dude was chilling in the U.S., so they had to pass the case over to the American authorities. Teamwork makes the dream work, right?

The investigation revealed Wallin was preying on kids aged 9 to 16, both in the US and internationally, grooming them for explicit content. The judge said he committed "cruel and relentless” crimes against children, with “highly sexualized sadomasochistic conduct.” Law enforcement is making it clear they ain't playing when it comes to protecting kids online. Homeland Security Investigations is all about combating online sexual exploitation and keeping our youngins safe.

PSA for all the parents out there: stay woke! Keep tabs on what your kids are doing online and keep the communication open. It's a wild world out there on the internet, and we gotta protect the next generation from these creeps.
