        A Mount Carmel man who is a registered sexual offender allegedly assaulted and injured his wife after she cut off Wi-fi as he was playing the video game Fortnite with young children online.

        Also the stuff about the wife’s boyfriend makes me think this guy spends time on 4Chan.

          The “with young children” bit is definitely inflammatory and uncalled for. Unless he was playing a “12 and under only” game mode, that bit is only in there because it makes the sex offender bit sound scarier.

          “Oh no, the kidz are playing with sex offenders online!” style fear mongering. The loser was playing with randos, 95% odds, and if there was evidence that the 5% predation odds was what was actually happening that would be half the article
