Redmond police have taken decisive action against online child predators with the arrest of 30-year-old Christopher Remsing during an undercover operation. The operation involved posting an advertisement for babysitting services aimed at adults seeking unsupervised access to children. Remsing's response raised alarm bells, as he made several statements that indicated a sexual interest in minors. When detectives met him at a designated location, they arrested him and discovered a backpack filled with concerning items, including children's movies and clothing. A search of his vehicle and apartment revealed hundreds of pairs of children's underwear and multiple electronic devices, which are currently being analyzed for further evidence.

Redmond Police Chief Darrell Lowe underscored the urgency of addressing child exploitation and the department's dedication to preventing such crimes. The police are urging anyone with additional information to come forward, as they suspect more victims may exist. Parents are advised to exercise heightened caution when hiring babysitters, ensuring thorough background checks and references.
