I apologize ahead of time for the lengthy thread. I tried to cut some pieces and parts out of this to shorten it & this is what I've been able to come up.

Now, I'm a pretty "hardcore" Secondlife player, & recently I've being faced with a fairly big and potentially threatening issue here, which I haven't got a clue on how to handle. I am a part of a group (we will call it Group L) in SL (Secondlife), it is an adult group (older men for younger women -NO UNDERAGE/younger than 18 years of age- AVI'S OR PLAYERS ALLOWED). Personally, I enjoy the company of an older man (I'm 25, I usually chat with men 5 to around 20 year older than I am). No biggie, right?

Being a group member, I often receive chat invites, and or TP invites via the group chat window (group IM). I've never had a problem with anyone in the chatroom or in the group, ever. It has always been a peaceful group (a little crazy sometimes, but interesting & warm/welcoming).
Anyway, there is a user who has been posting this, "any submissive girls when younger who were loyal to their boyfriends, but felt pressured to cheat from others? im me", quite often (same script/shpeel) but noticably uses a different (but almost always similar name). It caught my attention for some reason (assuming he was a "homewrecker" or trying to experience a "homewreckers" fantasy via SL). I don't know how many of you are familiar with the game (Secondlife), however for those of you who aren't, I will tell you that SL is all about freedom of creation & expression (though a lot of people use it to have "pixel sex" or cyber sex, and it does have the option to create a world or to play in different "SIMS" or worlds involving adult content. AGE PLAY (pedophilia) IS AGAINST THE TOS (terms of service)!! ***MY WORLD IS FAR FROM ANYTHING SEXUAL/SEX BASED (for the record ;) ***

Back to my story: I had IM'd the user who was searching for a "submissive young female", & I asked him "What is your deal, dude?". Needless to say he turned out to be quite the creeper; implying to me through subtle hints that he was looking for a young girl to RP as a 12-13-14 year old "daughter" figure & then go on "daddy-daughter dates" a few times a week (with him of course). It didn't take long to realize what he was after (even though he stated it was "just RP", this individual was very careful with how he stated his sick & twisted requests (he had obviously been doing this for quite some time). I told him that he was going to be reported, banned, and caught. His reply was even more disturbing to me: "Sweetie, they have banned me, numerous times... and I'm sure they will continue to ban me... and?" His lack of emotion what so ever just made my skin crawl...

I told him that I will be reporting him to LL, the FBI, and the internet crimes against children task force... he laughed at me and told me "&?".

This person (we will call him "Pedocreep") has been a problem since 2007 & continues to try to hunt down young girls whom he can victimize/violate according to various reports I've found on the net, as well as other stories I've heard from people (females mostly) who have dealt with him/crossed paths with him.

My dilema is this: if this person has stated in IMs that he's looking for "RP", technically he's not breaking the law, correct? I will point out that he is breaking the game's TOS & can be reported (again) for that, though I think it's probably safe to assume LL (Linden Labs) won't or can't do anything more than they've already done).

How do I go about reporting this person, and what evidence do I need to make my report valid? I do have IM logs (I save all of my history to my PC) but I don't see anything that states that he's looking for an RL (real life) experience (meeting in RL, voice or video chatting, etc), however- it concerns me to know whether or not his personal life (and his PC) have incriminating & disturbing evidence of things like child pornography, and even more so to think that he may have an RL daughter or a niece, or in general- a young female in his life whom has fallen victim to his sick & twisted fantasies or that may potentially be in danger of becoming his victim sooner than later.

I will not walk away from this. Something about it doesn't sit well with me (duh), and maybe it's the fact that this is my 1st and only run in with an online pedophile/creeper regardless, I feel it is the right thing to do to report this person & to end whatever it is that he has been doing in SL (& possibly even in RL). If the info I've been given is correct, this person has been reported multiple times, and he keeps returning, using different names, however keeping certain letters or parts of his name the same (StarrMistrr would change to DrakeMistrrStarr), and to add to that briefly, his groups are ALWAYS the same:
***DO NOT READ THE GROUP NAMES IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED***

"*Incest*", "Tight Wet Teens", "Cum in my pregant tummy", "HURT ME-FUCK ME", which are just a few of the 15+ disturbing groups he's a part of (plz, keep in mind that not all of SL involves sex. SL can be an amazing and clean place for those who are looking for an amazing, clean adventure. It can definitely be a very perverted place for those who are searching for it though). Track of this guy hasn't been a challenge (maybe he is doing that intentionally) which doesn't make sense to me because there is an option in the game that allows you to hide your groups if you so choose. Does this guy purposely hang around, flaunting his disgusting & perverted group memberships like flashy badges, or is he just dumb enough to leave a "paper trail"? LL (Linden Labs- the company behind the game/creators) have obviously banned this person (and his IP address) before, and according to my records it happens once or even twice a week. He just keeps coming back. I have a HUGE problem with this. What is the next step? Any feedback is appreciated!

(sorry for the misspelled words)

I'm not sure there's anything you can do, due to the careful way he worded it. But you could try child services or whatever and see if they'll help out. Believe it or not, there really are fetishes for these types of things, and as long as the participants are only 'pretending' (and both really are of legal age), it is completely legal :/ All he has to do is pass himself off as one of the 'pretenders'. I would say make a different name yourself and try to bait him into saying something incriminating (get screen shots etc, obviously) but that's probably a very dark path you don't actually want to go down.

I'd say take your concerns to the local Sheriff Detectives. If they won't do anything, keep going higher up the Food chain.

You also might try calling a local news channel with the story and see if they can get someone to listen. If that doesn't work, contact the people at the Steve Wilkos show. Steve has extensive contacts with the Police and DETESTS anyone that hurts children. I'm SURE they'd be interested in something like that.

Pass your concerns and info on to Perverted Justice. (http://www.pjfi.org/) they have both the means and the experience to know if anything can be done

I'm with Meghans Follie on this one, Perverted Justice is great. Have you heard of "To Catch A Predator"? They're the group that does those stings with the police.

"go on "daddy-daughter dates"" - like in real life? The only reason I ask this, because that's when it could start being a problem.
I'm ignorant to SecondLife, as I've never played, so I'm not sure if you can actually go on "dates" using the game > that's why I ask.

wow that guy sounds like a creep. definitely turn him over to someone that can do something about it. i think getting his IP address to his computer is the key to finding him.

Oh lordy this makes me want to vomit. As someone else said report him to everyone you can get your hands on remember to attach screen shots.

Have you tried cyber tipline? http://www.missingkids.com/Cybertipline
They specialize in dealing with sexual exploitation cases and they work along with the fbi to help stop people like that man. Then theres cyber angels www.cyberangels.org which gives advice and tips on who to contact for internet predator situations,Believe it or not something can be done about this guy,get some proof of what he is saying if you can and turn it in.
