In the wake of the Aimee Challenor incident where Reddit hired (and fired) an individual with close ties to child predators, it’s important to note that Challenor is not the first case of such despicable people being enabled by Reddit officially.

“drewiepoodle” who goes by “Ianna Drew Urquhart” has made comments on Reddit inviting a 13-year old user to their apartment, writing “if you want me to jab you with a very sharp needle and load you up with two weeks of SUPER GIRL JUICE, then come on over. lord knows i’ve given plenty of trans girls, plenty of shots from my supply.”

https://archive.is/rQJIf — The 13-year-old user has deleted their account but the content of the comments is still visible. Interestingly, Urquhart’s comments have been removed, either by a moderator or a Reddit administrator. https://archive.is/7IhMa — The comments actually remained up for over 5 years; perhaps recent news drawing attention to Urquhart has Reddit wanting to hide the evidence?

As for Urquhart’s ties to Reddit, Inc. and its employees:

Urquhart has admitted “The admins know who I am, they have my info, it won’t be hard for law enforcement to track me down.”

Urquhart has been invited to official Reddit events to “represent LGBT issues,” though it’s uncertain as to whether this was before or after the suspicious interactions with underaged users.

What’s clear is that Reddit appears to selectively act on their stance on child predators (or those closely tied) depending on when it’s convenient for them. Challenor wasn’t fired until there was massive outrage, and Urquhart appears to be possibly even worse since this has been going on for years.
