A Case of on-line Grooming and Murder "The Carly Ryan Case"

A Case of on-line Grooming and Murder "The Carly Ryan Case".The following deals with online grooming and child exploitation, which may be triggering for some readers. Australian teenager Carly Ryan spent months chatting online with someone she thought was an 18-year-old male musician from the U.S. who had recently moved to Victoria. He was a middle-aged predator who became obsessed with her and furious when she rejected him. When 14-year-old Carly Ryan started talking to a new friend online in 2006, the internet was a different place. MySpace was the dominant social media site. Facebook was in its infancy. Instagram didn't exist. And there was little public awareness of terms like online grooming, cyberstalking, or internet predator. Still, Carly's mother, Sonya Ryan, was cautious about her daughter's behaviour online. The Adelaide Hills family's computer was in the kitchen, and Sonya would look over Carly's shoulder occasionally to see whom she was chatting with. Among them was Brandon Kane, an 18-year-old Melbourne musician who'd reached out to her after getting to know one of her friends online. There were no red flags. There was no sexual conversation. On February 20, 2007, a beach walker found Carly's body in the shallow water at Horseshoe Bay in South Australia. The 15-year-old had been lured to the secluded beach, beaten, suffocated, and left to drown. Her killer was a man named Garry Newman, a paedophile and divorced father of three who spoke to young girls online using more than 200 aliases — 'Brandon' and 'Shane' among them. The security uniform and licence he'd shown Carly's family were fake. He had even used his own stepson to pose as Brandon during phone conversations with her.When Newman was arrested at his home in Melbourne 11 days later, he was already back online as 'Brandon Kane' talking to a 14-year-old girl in Western Australia. Newman was sentenced in 2010 to life in prison with a non-parole period of 29 years. https://www.carlyryanfoundation.com/Social Links & Contact InfoFACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/maonfb/INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/murderanalysed/REDDIT - https://www.reddit.com/user/Murder Analysed MEMBER'S PROGRAM https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgKQOAJL776mdx-bSjtJQJA/joinINTRO BY ENGLISH GRAVE/AVCM STUDIOS - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxUKFg4a4mzI14PCDZOqtWA
