According to police, they began looking into the deranged 39-year-old in August when the social media platform reported his account and it was linked to an IP address associated with Booth's residence in Norton Commons.
After he was caught, his neighbor Laura Nash told the outlet, "It's scary to think what he could have had access to." She also said she questioned her kids right away whether they had ever interacted with the guy.
It is akin to a gut punch. It leaves you feeling really exposed. As a mother, hearing about something like this is terrible. It simply helps you realize that no place is safe for you.

Their area is "family-friendly," according to Nash, who also mentioned that Booth, who has over 250,000 Facebook and Instagram followers overall, followed several of her friends on social media.
"I'm concerned about what he might have been seeing of my friends' lives because I know he followed a number of them on the internet," she continued.
The local station, citing sources that alerted them to Booth's online persona, charged him with possessing and distributing material depicting a sexual performance by a minor.
