The judge probably wont be an idiot and he wont get charged but then again... I wouldnt want to be in that dilemma... maybe its good for his career... publicity is good publicity

Ya, this is exactly what I though yesterday when I read this story. Sending him to prison is fucking harsh. Sending him to prison for 20 years is outrageous.

If movie directors that portray children ever experiencing any hardship (sexual or otherwise) (obviously not real hardship, just the portrayal of which) don't get sent to jail, then why the hell should this guy? (I'm not saying movie directors should be, just pointing out the contradiction).

Edit: Regarding the post after mine, even murders don't get 20 years in many cases o.O
Edit: whoops, thought that this guy was already convicted of the charge...

20 years is a little too high but i think a strong punishment is needed in this case.
Imagine what would happen if some stupid troll think the vid is real and copy it?

I can't help but think of another case similar to this
+ Show Spoiler +

should this woman be going to jail then? she's actually abusing the child, physically, in a sexual manner. compare the two videos, and see who might be going to jail and who's getting away.

A fine would have been sufficient. Maybe community service tacked on as well

I'd like to quote a comment from the youtube video:

If he's convicted, all of those kids are going to find out about this 20 years later and be completely baffled by the stupidity of our justice system.


Sure, he probably won't be convicted to twenty years; it's all just a publicity stunt or an attempt at deterrence. But it sure impacts the credibility of the justice system if you're pulling out the big guns for this instead of caring about the real problems.

this is mind boggling. Prosecutor Tony Tague, you're a fucking joke. learn to enjoy humor.

might as well put all the directors and actors that had minors curse i movies put in jail. natalie portman from the professional? she wanted to have sex with the dude. this is like a robber breaking into a house and gets injured in the process then sues the home owner.

this is making me sick. where the fuck is justice in this.

I think (and hope) that this is more on the line of "scaring the shit out of that guy" before they decide to sentence him to something like community service / a fine / whatever...
(if that was really the intention of the judges, I would find it pretty funny actually.. pranking the prankster, but we will never know).

It they are serious though, that would be some of the biggest bullshit ever...

I agree that 20 years is a ridiculous punishment, but this guy deserves to go to jail for this. I would say 3-12 months max. Doing something like this to innocent kids is sick, but come on guys, lets be reasonable.

Saying this is child abuse is basically taking a dump on the victims of real child abuse.

So I edit a video to show me shooting a real person when in fact it didn't happen. Do I get charged with attempted murder?

WTF is this shit?

What did he do to the kids that's sick? The only thing the kids got was a clean song and a chance to have fun in class.

If the kid deserves to be punished it's for lying about the reasons to gain access to the school or something along those lines. I'm sure there's something there, but probably like a misdemeanor... which is all he deserves.
