A chat site that encourages kids to “talk to strangers” is a dangerous destination that played a part in an 11-year-old girl being forced to become a predator’s digital sex slave, a multi-million dollar lawsuit claims.
Omegle, which randomly pairs up users for video and text chats, bills itself as a “great way to meet new friends” but has become a haven for pedophiles and voyeurs who use the site to watch people pleasure themselves, the federal suit filed Friday in Oregon claims.
The site, which has 66 million monthly users from across the globe, says kids 13 and older can use the platform with parental supervision and permission — but doesn’t have any system in place to ensure that users are being supervised, according to the $22 million suit.
The site also doesn’t require users to verify their age or name before using the product and doesn’t have any mechanism in place to prevent kids from being randomly matched with adults and vice versa, the lawsuit says.
In 2014, an 11-year-old girl only identified as “A.M.” logged on to Omegle after using it with friends during sleepover parties in hopes of meeting other middle schoolers like her.
Instead, she was connected to Ryan Scott Fordyce, a now-convicted Canadian pedophile who was in his late 30s at the time and is now facing 10 years behind bars.
Fordyce immediately started grooming the child and coerced her into giving him her contact information so they could keep in touch off the platform that allows users to be anonymous.
There, he asked her to send him nude images of herself and told her he could make her “feel better” and she needed to trust him because it was “integral to her ‘healing,’” even if his requests made her uncomfortable, according to the suit.
At first, Fordyce wanted to see images of the child’s “smile” but he soon started asking for snaps of her body and then started demanding specific “poses, props, positions and hairstyles,” the suit states.
The pedophile set deadlines for his twisted “assignments”, threatened to kidnap A.M. or harm her family and required her to be “at his beck and call” “at all hours of the day and night.”
While the interactions Fordyce and A.M. had didn’t happen on Omegle’s site, the platform continued to be a central part of their relationship because he forced her to use the website to recruit other children for him, the court papers claim.
The young girl was told she could stop sending Fordyce images at any time she wanted, but if she did, he threatened to leak the photos to her family and friends and told her she’d get in trouble with her parents, school and the police.
For three years, Fordyce held this threat over A.M.’s head. It wasn’t until January 2018, when members of a Canadian police force contacted her parents to tell them the pervert had been arrested for child pornography and images of their daughter had been found in his stash.
A.M. and her attorneys said Omegle is responsible for the abuse the child suffered because it’s where she met Fordyce and if they had employed mechanisms to prevent kids from matching with adults or other safety features, she never would’ve been abused by him.
“There’s no reason for a video streaming product that randomly pairs adults and children to exist at all, let alone without any real safety controls,” A.M., who is now 19, told The Post in a statement through her attorneys.
“This lawsuit is bigger than me, the damage has already been done to me, but my team and I are determined to protect the children after me that are just as vulnerable as I was. Nobody deserves this,” she said.
The suit claims Omegle is aware that predators are all over their website, but that it puts the onus on users to protect themselves.
“Predators have been known to use Omegle, so please be careful,” the website’s homepage stated through May 2021 before the line was taken down, right around the time A.M.’s attorneys sent a preservation letter to the company.
While that line has since been removed from the website, the suit states Omegle still “flouts the dangers of its product” on its homepage by acknowledging that users “may not behave appropriately” and their moderation “is not perfect.”
Omegle didn’t return a request for comment.
Lawyers Carrie Goldberg and Barb Long told The Post they were proud of their client for “channeling her pain to make the world safer for others.”
“Omegle’s popular use is for online sex and it welcomes underage users. The horror our client faced starting at age 11 when Omegle matched her with a child predator was a natural consequence of the inherent and foreseeable dangers of its product,” the attorneys said in a joint statement.
“May this be a bright burning warning to all tech companies that if you hurt children, we will hunt you down, and make you answer to your victims in court.”

There are already hundreds of social media platforms available on the internet, but no platform is like Omegle. You've already heard about Facebook, Instagram,Snapchat and Whatsapp, but Omegle is getting on-trend and becoming popular among teens from the past few months. The reason why this social media platform is getting popular lies behind the way it works. How does it work? Is Omegle safe for kids? We'll explain to you later in the article. But the way that Omegle works might not be a good thing for your innocent kids.
Omegle was started in 2009 by Leif K-Brooks. His primary purpose was to start an instant messaging platform where people can talk with anyone and anywhere without registering or giving their contact information to anyone. This unique idea of Leif K-Brooks was why Omegle got popular and gained much attention from the people on the internet. However, Omegle wasn't that popular from 2009-2019.
Even 99% of internet users didn't know that this website existed on the internet before 2020. Things changed when Covid-19 occurred in 2020, and many countries applied lockdown. Suddenly, many influential people on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram started using Omegle to kill their time in lockdown, and that's how Omegle became so popular after the 11-year since it started.
Today Omegle is the 9th most popular social media platform in the world!
Omegle works on a very basic funda. It allows you to chat with anyone, anywhere, without registering, entering your phone, email, or any personal information. All you have to do is to visit the official website of Omegle, click on the chat button, and start chatting with a random anonymous person from anywhere around the world. That's how Omegle works!
Unlike any other social media platform, the users don't need to sign-up, fill in their phone number or give their email address. Everything works anonymously in Omegle. Therefore, for people who are interested in chatting with random people without needing to sign-up on the platform, Omegle is best. Not just that, recently, Omegle has launched their video chat feature where people can video chat with random people just like the text chatting on Omegle.
There are many reasons why your kid might want to or have already been using Omegle. However, we believe that, unlike other platforms, Omega will not provide your child with any helpful information. In 95% of cases, Omegle is used for immoral, sexual, and immoral chatting. To make things easier and keep this section brief, below, we've written some of the most popular reasons teenagers use Omegle.
In 90% of cases, teenagers use Omegle to share sexual thoughts and content with the person in front of them. How do we know about this fact? According to many other types of certified researchers, 90% of teenagers uses Omegle to share explicit nude images and chat on sex niche. However, we're not saying this kind of chat isn't good. But talking and sharing private images with a random person on the internet isn't a safe thing.
In many cases, the teens expose themselves to random strangers on Omegle and share their other personal and private information. We all know this type of activity isn't safe and ethical in any way. So, the question that appears is why teens do this sex chat and share explicit nudes? The reason lies behind the background of those teens. In some cultures, chatting about sexual content is considered taboo. That's why teens from those cultures use Omegle to share sexual content secretly from their parents and society.
Of course, if a random stranger asks for the payment details on Omegle, there are 99% chances that it's a scam. But teens don't figure out the scammers on Omegle, and in some cases, they share their financial information with a stranger on Omegle. Now, the question that appears is, why can't teens figure out a scammer on Omegle?
The reason is straightforward, those scammers of Omegle delude the teens by showing them a great chance of investment. Such as showing them to invest $10and withdraw $100 in one day, or there are many ways by which scammers efficiently delude innocent teens. Of course, if the investee is genuine, why is he on Omegle?
Another popular reason teens use Omegle is to enjoy and meet with random people from other countries. It's not always the case that your kid uses Omegle to do sex chat or get caught in a scam. Many kids use Omegle and consider it fun to meet with random people from around the globe. They meet, talk about each other's cultures and chat about many other causal topics.
Many other influencers on YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, and Instagram use Omegle as entertainment and influence their viewers to use Omegle for entertainment purposes. These influencers are one of the biggest reasons why Omegle is getting more popular day by day.
On a personal note, Omegle is suitable for entertaining purposes. But, unfortunately, the world doesn't work like that. 99% of people on Omegle are either scammers or waiting to do sex chat and share explicit content on this platform.
Now a question will appear in many minds "Is Omegle safe for my kid". This question is quite controversial. First of all, let us tell you that the primary purpose of Omegle wasn't to spread negativity.
Instead, Leif K-Brooks, founder of Omegle, his central concept was to publish a platform where people can meet with others of different countries and cultures. However, the world doesn't work like that.
Especially for the kids, it's close to one of the most dangerous things that could be for your kid. To keep this section brief, below we've mentioned the points that why Omegle isn't safe for your kid:
The most significant disadvantage of Omegle is anyone on the platform can talk and chat with your kid. All you've to do is to click on the chat button, and the server of Omegle will connect you with any available person on Omegle. It doesn't require any sign-up, any filters, or any TOS to chat with each other. This randomness makes it dangerous for kids under 18.
Unlike other social media platforms where all your chat is being monitored, there's no chat monitoring in Omegle. Moreover, other social media platforms provide a strict policy of immoral, spam, and unethical behavior. But unfortunately, Omegle is designed on a platform that doesn't offer any monitoring or TOS of chatting with other users.
The worst thing about Omegle is those scammers that try to scam people on Omegle. The quantity of scammers on Omegle isn't tiny. Instead, every 8 out of 10 random strangers on Omegle are scammers. They deceive people, especially children, and teenagers, with fake profits and investment scams. Therefore, if your child uses Omegle, then there is a good chance he will face a scammer and get scammed.
Most of the teens use Omegle to do sex chat with other strangers. If they are lucky enough to find a girl as a chat partner and start chatting on a sexual topic, things can go wrong. First of all, Omegle doesn't require anything to authenticate the gender of its users. So no one can assure you whether the stranger you're chatting with is a real girl or boy or trying to take explicit nudes.
In most cases, the scammer tricks the people by calling themself a girl. They force the kids to send their explicit nudes and ask for their social media profiles. When a scammer successfully obtains private photos of your children, they blackmail them and demand vast sums of money from them!
Unlike YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and many other international social media profiles, Omegle doesn't comply with any policy of any standard such as CEN, CENELEC, ANSI, or ISO. It's because of the way that this platform works, no international standard will approve this platform. There's no security. Even Omegle has no control over what's going on in their platforms. Moreover, this platform doesn't have any TOS for chatting with other people. We know that Omegle is not about spreading or disseminating harassing material, but the way Omegle is designed makes it a hub for harassment, sexual and scamming activities.
Omegle works based on an uncontrolled environment where people from anywhere worldwide can visit the website and start chatting with a random stranger through Omegle. If it had parental control or anything like that, then it wasn't on the trend and popular. The main reason behind the popularity of this platform is the freedom of chatting with random strangers by keeping yourself anonymous without getting in the eyes of your parents, partners, or anyone's eyes.
There was no reason to use Omegle if it had tracking or any parental control feature. There are already many social media platforms that offer parental control, tracking, and security features. So that parents can monitor their kids on those social media platforms. But Omegle isn't a social media platform. It's just a standard HTML website where random strangers can talk with each other. That's it! Hence, there's nothing like tracking, monitoring, security of parental control features on Omegle.
Below we've mentioned some of the best and authentic ways to keep your kids protected on the internet from bad people. All information that we've mentioned in this section i
