The "with young children" bit is definitely inflammatory and uncalled for. Unless he was playing a "12 and under only" game mode, that bit is only in there because it makes the sex offender bit sound scarier.
"Oh no, the kidz are playing with sex offenders online!" style fear mongering. The loser was playing with randos, 95% odds, and if there was evidence that the 5% predation odds was what was actually happening that would be half the article
The wife decided to cut off the Wi-Fi because she didn't want him talking to kids online. He might've been in an 18+ game but the wife thought he was there to creep on kids and got a TV allegedly thrown at her for it.
Is that in the article? How did I miss that
Fourth-ish paragraph. That's what she told the police.
