The two sisters, Madison and Christine, had been getting harassed by someone or a group of people for years, and it just kept getting worse and escalating to the point that they were experiencing mental breakdowns and were having a really hard time functioning.

Okay, so Kik. I do want to add a few things about this. I did a whole episode about Kik. That's episode 93. And what I learned from doing that episode is Kik is a magnet for awful behavior. It's just a chat app like Discord or Slack. But what I've seen is that there's just no content moderation. So chat rooms can become full of illegal activity, open to the public for anyone to find and join in.

Why this app isn't banned from the Google or Apple store still is a mystery to me. But it's very clear that Kik has a lot of problems and is basically a scourge of humanity. So when this person was posting nude photos of Christine and Madison to 4chan, he was sometimes including his Kik username. You know, in case someone wanted to friend him.

Well, this is a nice little path to investigate, right? You've got a Kik username now. Well, going on Kik, you can't really see what he's up to there. But they were pretty familiar with searching 4chan. So they looked through 4chan for that Kik username. And this opened them up to a huge trove of posts that he had been making to 4chan.

Of course, they had to drive through this filth to make sense of it. But what they discovered was that he wasn't harassing just the twins. He was posting nudes of other women, too.

Mmm, interesting. He seemed to be obsessively posting nudes of the same five women. He didn't have a wide array of nudes that he was posting. He was focused about it, zoomed in to only five women, harassing each of them almost in a cycle, going through each of them and then back around to the first, making each of their lives hell. This is interesting because what's the correlation here, right?
