Predator Arrested In Front Of Family After Police Uncover His Secret Discord Messages

Investigation

On December 19, 2024, Glendale, Wisconsin, police executed a search warrant at a family home after Discord reported illegal images linked to the household’s internet address. Officers told Elliot and his parents that the investigation concerned suspected possession of child sexual abuse material.

Police searched Elliot’s bedroom and seized electronic devices, including phones, iPads, and Xbox consoles.

Interview

At the police station, Elliot was arrested and questioned after being advised of his rights. He acknowledged using multiple Discord accounts, including one he created to keep images separate from his main account. He said he had found material online, including through dark-web sites, and saved it for later.

Elliot estimated that dozens of images were stored on Discord and in his iCloud. He acknowledged that some depicted children who had not reached puberty. He said he had not shared the images or taken them himself, and expressed shame and concern about his future.

Investigators said they would examine the devices and refer the evidence to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office.

Charges and Sentence

The video reports that Elliot was initially charged with capturing an intimate representation involving a person under 18 and possessing child pornography. In June 2026, he pleaded guilty to one felony count of capturing an intimate representation involving a victim under 18.

The following month, the court imposed a two-year sentence—one year in prison and one year of extended supervision—but stayed the sentence and placed Elliot on 18 months of probation. Conditions include restrictions on:

• Unsupervised contact with children under 15
• Accessing child exploitation material
• Contacting minors online

He must also complete a sex-offender assessment and any recommended treatment. The court said he may be eligible to have the conviction expunged if he successfully completes probation.
