On Hait's iPad, police said they recovered 10 videos of a naked boy – some when the child was as young as 15 years old. Another victim told police Hait sexually assaulted him; the victim said it happened "approximately 50 to 100 times" starting when he was just 9 years old.
Hait’s LinkedIn page lists his occupation as a "certified health and lifestyle coach," who aspires to, quote, "be a ray of light to those who don’t believe anything is possible for themselves."
