A Nintendo Switch helped the FBI locate a missing 15-year-old girl.
She went missing last summer on August 3rd, 2022. Ethan Roberts forced her intro making child sex abuse images.
He allowed the 15 year old to bring her Switch console. She used it to download a game and watch YouTube. That’s when a friend saw her name pop up online and contacted the authorities.
The FBI called up Nintendo to retrieve the console’s IP address, then the FBI were able to locate her 11 days after she disappeared and was returned to her family.
In April of this year, Ethan Roberts was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison.
