How likely is it to get tracked down from Omegle?
Here is situation.....a friend of mine was in "unmoderated" video chat with what appeared to be "twenty-something" girl. When he was matched with said "girl" she was ALREADY showing breasts. There was no "coercian" at all. He was exposed for a short time as well and she did take off her underwear for a few seconds. After 3-4 mins of the chat, she says she is 14, and my friend IMMEDIATELY disconnects from chat.
Direct Questions:
1. This was Unmoderated chat, so from what we understand, nothing here is monitored or recorded (unless user recorded).
2. My friend is worried it was a "sting", but I think not, people in "stings" do not expose themselves.
3. How video chat lasted 3-4 mins and he disconnected as soon as she mentioned ANYTHING about being underage, does intent matter here? He wasn't looking for this one little bit.
4. He didn't upload/download anything just live stream.....everything we find online about this sort of thing, and people getting caught and prosecuted is directed at people that upload and/or download images and/or set up meetings, etc........
5. When he saw that she said she was underage, he immediately disconnected despite her saying "dont hangup"....I'm thinking it might possibly have even been a scam. 6. What are the chances this goes anywhere at all, since its been almost 7 weeks now, can I tell him to calm the hell down a bit, he is very anxious as he feels he was setup or tricked....he has no desire for any kind of this activity at all, the good news is he hasn't been on omegle in 7 weeks since it happened and plans to never go back
I gotta believe this happens thousands of times a day on sites like this.....I've told him to stay off the internet and its been 7 weeks already, just stay off permanently for stuff like this and it will likely blow over and move on.
