Detective White with the Vernal Police Department started working on this case on Wednesday, February 12th, 2025, when the department received a National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) Cybertip regarding a MediaLab/Kik user having uploaded material to a user account, which depicts Child Sex Abuse Material (CSAM).
MediaLab/Kik reported that they had become aware of a user uploading contraband to their account and reported the issue when they became aware of it.
The detective viewed the images provided in the Cybertip and confirmed that they did contain CSAM, and saw that all the children in the images were prepubescent.
With the information provided in the Cybertip, the detective was provided with two IP addresses, one of which was identified as having been used to access the reported account.
Detective White conducted a search and determined the IP address belonged to Strata Networks. The results of the search query geolocated to Vernal, Utah.
The detective applied for and was granted a search warrant for the email address. Part of this return was a folder containing content from this account. Two phone numbers in the folder led the detective to find the suspect to be 20-year-old Jaedon Kodiak Nielson.
Another search warrant was applied for the account information from Kik for the user ID cartmanpark (display name: LonelyGhost n288, ESP User ID: cartmanpark-fvy).
Detective White received the information back from Kik. The folder contained content containing CSAM, including the five images of CSAM reported in the NCMEC report.
In the files, there were seven unique videos of what appeared to be adult females in a bathroom stall sitting on the toilet. The videos were taken at a low angle with the camera placed below the bottom of the privacy wall of the stall to gain visual access to the persons captured in the videos. The background of the videos was similar, and they appeared to all have been captured at the same location.
During a post-Miranda interview, Jaedon admitted that he secretly produced the videos while he was employed at an unknown local business in Uintah County. Jaedon also admitted to sharing at least one of those videos and that he gained sexual gratification from the videos, citing it as a kink.
Part of the Kik investigation was a folder containing chat logs of Jaedon actively seeking out CSAM and sharing them with other subscribers. Jaedon admitted to those actions and to possessing and searching for child sex abuse material between the age group 12-15.
on 10/05/2024, through the information obtained from Kik and the information contained in the Cybertip. Jaedon admitted that he gained sexual gratification from those images.
Due to the information gathered during this investigation, Detective White took Jaedon into custody on Thursday, March 20th, 2025, and transported him to the Uintah County Jail.
This case is still an active investigation.
