He probably won't get jail time at all. Probation, registered sex offender which will more or less ruin his life. I agree its dumb that 20 years is the max for a crime like this, infact its stupid that the police can even charge him but you also think that he does get his day in court. Edit: And listening to mainstream news in America is bad anyways. They only discuss bad things and scare the community so ya best to not ever put much thought to that kind of stuff. | ||

I find it funny how someone can get a shorter murder sentence then someone can get a child molestation charge. Apparently killing people is better then molesting children according to the justice system. | ||

Naive parents LOVE to throw around terms like that when it comes to their kids. 5 years. 10 years. 20 years. All WAY too much. You're talking about ruining this guys life. I would say a token sentence of 6 months or less, classes, and some probation would be fine. I challenge anyone who thinks 20 years is legitimate sentence for this to even do 2 weeks in COUNTY jail. Let alone federal fucking prison. Man these people are stupid. This is why America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Naive people throw around 5-10 year sentences and think its lenient. That is what makes me the most angry about this story. To state the obvious, yes he was wrong and should be made example of so others know its wrong- but lets not ruin a mans life. | ||

I'm pretty sure in California at least, if you're caught with weed you don't even have it go on your record...

If it could have been used as child porn, that's o e thing, but if it's just a bunch of kids that look like theyre into some weird sex shit, that's a little different. Still, if I was a parent or a teacher, or even one of those kids ten years down the road, I would be pissed that someone played me like that. 60 days is a lot dude. Imagine if you had to go to jail for 2 months during school. You'd be so screwed...in all honestly I think they should just fine the kid, put him on probation, make him do community service, write ASSHOLE on his record and be done with it. | ||

Though, all that had to be said was a simple, "hey could please take that off youtube?" seeing as the guy is obviously not a pedo and was just trying to be funny without fully thinking things through. I'm scared to become a parent myself, it seems all completely lose their sense of rationality at some point. | ||

Some rapists actually got away with less jail time than that. GG society, nice cheese. | ||

Also, if I watched it, does that make me guilty of watching child pornography? Get real.... | ||

Having said that I think the penalty is too harsh, he should be sentenced for 3-4 months for being a moron, but 20 years is as moronic as him pretending to sing sexual songs to children. | ||

To state the obvious, yes he was wrong and should be made example of so others know its wrong- but lets not ruin a mans life. I absolutely agree, except I don't think he should do any time in jail for this, also one of the worst things in our (I'm American) legal system is the sex offender system, two thirds of registered offenders are nonviolent meaning they got put there for something like an 18 year old having sex with a 16 year old (or something much less) and then they can be put on the list for life if not a very long time, and then their life is fucked. Seriously the number of restrictions people pile on to the sex offender system every time some bad thing happens because it makes legislators look "tough on crime" is ridiculous, they destroy the lives of the non-harmful people and make it so anyone involved with a sex crime won't have a shot at a second chance. | ||
