>Federal officials arrested technology reporter Peter Bright after the journalist allegedly told an undercover FBI agent he wanted to molest the agent’s young children.
>Bright, 38, covered Microsoft and other tech-related subjects for Ars Technica before being arrested on May 22, according to the Daily Dot. Bright posted his last story at the outlet on May 21.
>An undercover FBI agent made contact with Bright on KinkD, a social media platform for people with sex fetishes such as bondage, according to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
>Bright, under the name “randomanon,” messaged the agent who claimed to be a mother looking for someone to teach her 7-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son about “the birds and the bees.”
>Through a series of messages on KinkD and WhatsApp, Bright and the agent talked about the “lessons,” often using euphemisms for what the agent understood to be sexual activity.
>“I think masturbation and, [sic] anal sex are probably my favorite subjects. Helping girls find those special places to touch, it’s very rewarding,” Bright told the agent when asked what he is good at “teaching.”
>Bright also allegedly admitted to the undercover agent that he has been “teaching” another girl for months.
>“I have a girl I’ve been teaching off and on for a couple of months now,” Bright wrote. “But she’s in the Bronx, which makes the logistics much harder.”
>The FBI arrested the technology journalist as he was going to what he believed to be a meet-up between him and the undercover agent posing as a mother. The court denied Bright bail.
Remember, Jow Forums. That's what all of these "tech journalists" are up to.
