Talk about a miserable Christmas. I feel for his wife and kids.

I suspect he won't be home for Christmas for many years to come.

I wish you are right but the reality is people get arrested for worst than that and walk free.

He might have no choice. His wife probably told him to F* off

Of course he is in jail - agree w PP - what is there at his point to say to his spouse? I don't know how people from his old life can look him in the face after all that.

If they can't find an adequate 3rd party to make a litany of promise (to monitor you etc.) then you can get detained if 1) you are a danger to the community and/or 2) risk of flight. It's a set standard in the law. For him to released, substantial new information has to come to light. 99.9% he is detained unless he is found not guilty.

Question lawyers practicing criminal law, if the prosecution had additional charges to add (after finding information on his computer and items at home, for example), would they have added those charges already or do they wait until after and plea or trial for the initial charges? Thanks

A lawyer can add- but rarely these things go to trial. And for sure more charges can be added and only the original 2 charges still stand. And the fbi and feds for that matter will never let him plea to the initial charges if they found more on his computer etc. my thinking was the reason his hearings were pulled was they all just had a chance to talk and share info and punt to get organized.

He had a secret disturbing online life—what school procedures are you suggesting would have caught that? There was a firewall so he likely did most illicit activity on his own devices. What is it that you think could have been done?

He was using his own device. What should the school have done. Firewall catches the school devices.

No evidence that he never used school devices, but nice try.

Apparently the email used to create the account was connected to Beauvoir, per The Independent:
"The center forwarded the tip to federal authorities, who traced the IP address to Carroll’s home, and connected the email used to create the account to the Beauvoir School, a primary school affiliated with the Washington National Cathedral, where Carroll previously served as director of outplacement, according to the complaint. A second IP address that had been used to access the Discord account “numerous times” over the past year, was traced back to NCRC, the complaint says, which lists two alternate accounts also allegedly operated by Carroll."

I think that means he used school wifi, but not necessarily a school device. I don't know if firewalls can control access to websites on the network, as opposed to specific devices.

Yes, the school's network should have firewalls against porn sites. It is absurd that neither of those schools caught the behavior.

Discord is not porn.

Discord can host porn. So can any other social media site.

Please let’s stop using the word “porn”’when describing what was done and the child abuse images in this case. Porn is between consenting adults. The word diminishes the crime done to children and not what James was doing at all. The word is now widely not used at all for that reason - it is abuse.

Child rape.

INDICTMENT as to JAMES CARROLL (1) count(s) 1, 2. (FORFEITURE ALLEGATION) (zljn)

His case has been assigned to Judge Mehta (district court judge). A bare-bones indictment (the norm) was filed on the 4th (2 substantive counts (attempted sexual exploitation of a child and attempted coercion and enticement of a minor - both citing November 5, 2024 to November 14, 2024 as the time period during which the offenses were committed) and a forfeiture count). His magistrate judge case, therefore, has been closed, as is standard. He remains represented by the Federal Public Defender's Office, and it is likely there will be a superseding indictment once the investigation is completed, given they have his electronic devices and, presumably, access to the online accounts.

Thank you.

He's eigible for a public defender when he earns $270 K?

"He has been at NCRC since 2018; in looking at the school's 990's, James Carroll just got a salary increase from 199k to 270k over the past year; the school should claw back his salary."

Apparently.

Isn’t everyone eligible for a public defender?

No!! Not every accused criminal is eligible for a "free," taxpayer-funded defense attorney while they simultaneously maintain all of their income and assets and pay nothing for their own defense. If he was earning between $199-$270K a year and presumably has assets to show for it, he shouldn't be eligible. More likely that a PD stepped in temporarily bc he hadn't hired anyone yet, I guess.

In CSAM cases, you often charge to get them off the street. If you find additional materials that will increase the statutory max of time in jail; you may add more charges. If you think you have better evidence that you want to present at trial; you add charges. Otherwise you keep the status quo and argue additional details at sentencing. In short, it depends.

Any updates from this morning’s hearing?

I heard he pled not guilty this morning…

There are not a "ton of administrators" at NCRC to get rid of.

Your MBA was worthless if it taught you to make diagnoses and preach to others without first gathering real facts (not facts from situations you presume, but don't know, to be analogous).

Exactly. Go to law school next time to learn about due process.
