Dublin Man Pleads Guilty to Child Abuse | Columbus News

A 73-year-old man from Dublin, Wade Christofferson, just pleaded guilty to coercing and enticing a minor — a crime that could land him 10 years to life. Arrested in Utah last year, investigators uncovered a disturbing world of coded messages, internet searches, and a hidden room in his home filled with disturbing writings and bedding. Recorded calls revealed him teaching a 7-year-old victim secret codes — like “asterisk” for “naked” and “snow” for body parts. The case, triggered by a November report of abuse involving two minors, has prosecutors preparing for a serious sentence as the U.S. Attorney’s Office moves forward.
