NewzA Canadian appeals court has acquitted Brandon Klayme, who spent 18 months in prison due to a mistaken username in a child sexual abuse imagery case. The court found that authorities confused Klayme's account with another involving illicit material.
The error occurred because Klayme's Kik username differed from the suspect account by a single underscore. This discrepancy led to wrongful charges and a significant period of incarceration before the appeals court reviewed the case and cleared him of the charges.
