21. Clair Thought She Knew

22. Once Posted You Lose it!

23.  Atany given moment there are
over 50,000 online sexual
predators surfing social sites
looking for victims.
 None of their intended targets
are over 16 years of age.

25. When the victim was 14 years old, she was
struggling, like many girls her age, with her
parents, her self esteem and uncertainty about
life. She sat at her computer and decided to visit
a Christian chat room. Within minutes, she
received an instant message from a man who
would devastate her life and the lives of her
family members forever more.

26. The 39-year-old perpetrator was so skilled at
manipulation, that over a period of months, he
succeeded in gaining her trust, convincing her
that he was the only one who really loved her, and
that her parents were the enemy. After 9 months
of grooming the victim through computer and
phone conversations, the perpetrator moved to
Lexington to be with her. The relationship soon
became sexual and continued for the next 8
months, until police became involved.

27. The perpetrator was charged with multiple
sex offenses and was sentenced to 11 years
in prison. It‟s difficult to imagine the effect
a crime like this has on a family. On the
following slides, are excerpts from the
Victim‟s Impact Statements submitted to the
court on behalf of this young victim?

28. “He spent nine months grooming her, sucking her into his
lies, making her believe that nothing was as important as
her, forging a bigger and bigger gap between her and her
family.”
“Our daughter told us that when she met him face to face
for the first time, that he was ugly, fat, and smelled
bad, but he had so successfully brainwashed her by
then, that it didn‟t matter. He told her she was his „soul
mate‟ and that they would get married when she was
eighteen.”

29. “She went into a Christian chat room and came out a few hours
later with an internet pedophile. This man moved from Oregon
to Lexington for the sole purpose of molesting a 14-year-old
girl.”
“The impact on our family is almost indescribable. My
daughter, who was an honor student, is now in a therapeutic
institution trying to recover from these events. Instead of
spending her second year of high school with her family, she is
away from home and will probably be there for a long time.”
“For me personally, I cannot sleep at night and as hard as I
have tried to protect my daughter, I was unable to protect her.”

30. “He lied to me, manipulated me, and used me for
sexual acts. I constantly am thinking of how much I
really want to go back and change things. I never
would have accepted an instant message from him in
the first place. However, the fact of the matter is this:
these things did happen, they can‟t be changed and I‟ll
have to live with them forever.”
“This person took away my innocence. He stole it from
me. I did feel pressured to perform and receive sexual
things. I‟ll never get that back. He told me he was
going to die very soon. That was so emotionally
draining. It‟s a lot of work to have my heart pulled in
48 different directions all at once. “

31. “When a detective told me I couldn‟t talk to him, I
literally thought that was the end of the world. I
thought he was the only person that cared about
me or loved me, I decided to try to kill myself and
overdosed on pills.”
“It‟s very difficult for me to forgive myself for
being with him.”

33.  People have hundreds of
online friends without
realizing that it is the same
as giving them a key to
their front door.
Facebook – What not to post

34. Are you confident your friends have secure sites and
protected passwords?
 Are you confident they won‟t walk away from a public
computer without logging off their social site?
 Are you confident they don‟t share account
information with other members of their family?
 Do you allow pictures of your family to be taken and
uploaded to online sites by your friends?

35. A Picture is worth
1000 words
But is it worth your life?

39.  Definition: The legal
rights and restrictions
governing technology
use.
 Are students using
technology the way it
was intended?
 Are students infringing
on others‟ rights by the
way they use
technology?
 Should students using

accountable for how
they use digital
technologies?
