Pedophile Ryan Scott Fordyce allegedly threatened to kidnap an 11-year-old girl and her family on chat site Omegle.

Instead, she was connected to Ryan Scott Fordyce, a now-convicted Canadian pedophile who was in his late 30s at the time and is now facing 10 years behind bars. In 2014, an 11-year-old girl only identified as “A.M.” logged on to Omegle after using it with friends during sleepover parties in hopes of meeting other middle schoolers like her. The site also doesn’t require users to verify their age or name before using the product and doesn’t have any mechanism in place to prevent kids from being randomly matched with adults and vice versa, the lawsuit says. The site, which has 66 million monthly users from across the globe, says kids 13 and older can use the platform with parental supervision and permission - but doesn’t have any system in place to ensure that users are being supervised, according to the $22 million suit. Omegle, which randomly pairs up users for video and text chats, bills itself as a “great way to meet new friends” but has become a haven for pedophiles and voyeurs who use the site to watch people pleasure themselves, the federal suit filed Friday in Oregon claims.
