All very good points as to why someone catfishing might stay local. But, lots of catfishers do not stay local, too. They don't need to limit themselves just to solicit nude images.In order to appear to be local and easily fit references to places and people into the conversation. Showing a connection to friends of friends of friends. He knows what his victims are talking about when they name landmarks, schools, and local events.
All a part of looking harmless and gaining trust, to eventually get a picture or video.
Catfishers typically make up lots of excuses as to why they can't meet someone in person, it's the victim that is usually asking to meet face to face.
There's been no reliable evidence that KK ever meet one of his victims in person. I'm of the opinion that KK wanted to remain anonymous and continue collecting *advertiser censored*.
Imo, since the ISP's a_shots ask included information regarding exchanging addresses and requesting meetups, I'm under the assumption that in this case, the user of a_shots was indeed participating in those activities, and doing so locally. That, imo, opens the door to stalking, attempting to have sex with minors, and a whole host of other sexually motivated crimes beyond CSAM sharing. If KAK did indeed want to stay anonymous, then someone else using the account apparently had other plans.Jmo.
