Found Safe WI - SMF, 16, Beaver Dam, 2 Feb 2025 *3 mo's pregnant, believed to be with 40-year-old father of the baby*

[legomonster]

Teens do what they do. I don't blame the parents here. But, at the same time, if they don't know what is going with their teen, how do they expect an internet company or cellphone company to do more than they are doing?!

I hope this family heals.

Because, people use their own experience as children and don't consider the danger newer technology brings because they aren't familiar with it.

"When law enforcement made contact with the defendant, he provided several fake names," a Nebraska prosecutor said in court Friday.

That false report is one of the misdemeanor charges he faces in Omaha. Investigators said a deputy at the truck stop used a portable fingerprint machine to determine Day's true identity.

"Sure enough, it popped up that it was him. So immediately, he has several warrants through several states, and they're all felony warrants," Sarpy County Sheriff Greg London said.

He pleaded not guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor and providing a false name to law enforcement - both misdemeanors.

It’s this last statement about Vermont and Indiana charges that certainly make them sound like they are not related to SF’s case.

It’s this last statement about Vermont and Indiana charges that certainly make them sound like they are not related to SF’s case.

I'm curious about those charges and posted this about it this morning.
Not only because I reside in Vermont.

• "He faces additional complaints in Vermont and Indiana."

I Haven't found anything else on that hearing said to be taking place later in the day.
He was to be charged with "exploitation".

Did victims/parents from Vermont and Indiana contact LE or was LE able to somehow retrieve messages from his cell phone w/o being in possession of it?
Maybe the information was found in the house where he lived with his mother?
IMO:

Hopefully they throw the book at this male.
No other teenage girl should become his victim in this lifetime,he is young enough to do a lot of damage if not permanently fixed.

Yeah, I think he should be "permanently fixed".

I've yet to see any coverage here in Vermont about Vermont charges. WCAX carried a Wisconsin affiliate's story the other day about finding her safe, but no media here has made a connection to Vermont, as far as I know. I admit I'm incredibly curious.

Relief to hear (getting to it late). I just hope she doesn't have any more lingering affection for him or Stockholm syndrome. Let this guy rot in prison (where he's sure not to be well-liked).

SF said they went to Eau Claire before making their way to Minnesota. She said they traveled through Iowa, Missouri and Kansas City — where they slept in parking lots for two nights. They then made their way to the panhandle of Oklahoma, through Texas, New Mexico and ultimately the Phoenix area in Arizona, per the complaint.
