I am completely lost for words. His idea of love is obviously very twisted but he is also a raving narcissist on top of being a pedophile and child abuser. There are so many clinical mental issues with this guy that I almost felt sorry for him. Must be horrific to be him but not as horrific as it is for that little girl who's father abused and allowed how many other men to abuse her. I have a 12 year old girl and I could not stop thinking about everything I have done to protect her. I wish I could have done the same for that little girl...

Whats unbelievable is his rationalizations. He was in love? with the 4 year old? What happens when she turns 12. Having nothing whatsoever to say about the mothers truly moving impact statement? And helping a pedo ring that tortured and murdered their victims? He is a text book example of a sociopath, who also happens to be a pedophile, and extremely intelligent. What a combination. Truly mind blowing. Can never be allowed to walk the earth free again, thank God.

Binged this again and it's still brilliant even when I know what's coming next. This is incredible journalism, all the investigators are absolute heroes in my opinion. Such disturbing and soul wrenching work but they keep hunting these monsters. Bravo!

If you know that these guys will reoffend when they get out, why let them out? If you let them out wouldn't it make sense to keep watching them and put the time and effort into it, before someone's life is altered, forever? Catching them before the actual abuse? Prove there intent. This makes me sick that he is actually convincing these psychologists that he doesn't know that it's actually wrong. He's playing games. He knows exactly. He is just evil and calculated.

This is by far one of the most disturbing podcasts I have ever listened to. Very well done! I’m sure Ben Faulkner is going to burn in hell for not only his actions but for his evil lack of remorse.

This podcast was an amazing collaboration! It was well thought out, researched, and Daemon's voice and timing were a pleasure to listen to. Huge thanks to the men and women on the Frontlines taking down these monstrous sites. I'm sure they sacrifice more than any of us know. Here's hoping we get a season 2. Keep bringing light to dark places

My blood froze, when that pos described himself as being "in love " with the 4 year old girl he has repeatedly, sexually assaulted. Like we have it all wrong...he's not abusing her, it's a love affair! Nothing made me as sick and angry as that. And I was sickened and furious throughout. Well researched and produced. Astonishing interviews. Horrific subject but important to shed light into the murky darkness where monsters live and operate
