29-year-old Ryan Dookhan, a former school security guard in New York, has been accused of threatening to kidnap an 11-year-old girl from Michigan if she did not send him nude photos of herself. Dookhan appeared in federal court on Wednesday and was charged with three counts of sexual exploitation of a child for incidents that occurred in 2024. The girl met Dookhan while playing the video game Roblox and believed he was around her age. Dookhan convinced her to download an app to communicate outside of the game, where he then started demanding the explicit photos. The girl, out of fear, eventually complied with the requests and sent several photos over two months. She informed her parents in September, who then contacted Michigan State Police. Dookhan faces a potential prison sentence of 15 to 30 years if found guilty. This case highlights the dangers of online interactions and the importance of monitoring children’s activities to prevent exploitation. Parents are urged to be vigilant and educate children about the risks of communicating with strangers online. The justice system is working to ensure that perpetrators like Dookhan face consequences for their predatory behavior and to protect vulnerable individuals from harm.
