I can change you with being a money launder for a gang doesn't mean the charges would stick. This is mostly to scare the kid and people not to be doing sexual jokes etc around kids, it's just concerned parents seeking the maximum they can find, doesn't mean crap until it's a conviction. | ||

Since when are you not allowed to say sexual things to kids or swear etc. Sad thing is, very few people will actually try to do anything about it. Once it happens to them it will be too late. The only thing like said he could be charged for is showin they're faces without permission. But even then, what is that actually gonna effect? Maybe give him a 2k fine & a formal apology, anything beyond that is beyond insane. | ||

This undermines the serious of ACTUAL child abuse. many variations of abuse falls under this category (child abuse). from my perspective this entire situation's idiotic. a 20 year old involving kids in a sexual song... right. one less idiot off the streets. i mean the guy exerted an obscene gesture torward children, though he thought his intentions were innocent, they werent. but 20 sentencing this guy to 20 years is harsh | ||

Sure, you need the parent's consent if it's for commerce, but this was clearly intended for a select audience. | ||

You aren't there are Obscenity laws depending on where you live dealing with things of that nature being said in public, especially in schools freedom of speech is very limited. | ||

I don't see anybody going after the pope for his child abuse crimes and this poor kid might get convicted for video editting. 1. He posted a video of little children without the consent of any parents. That's illegal. 2. He posted what appeared to be sexually explicit content aimed at kids. Regardless of the fact that it was secretly spliced, the intent was that he directed sexual lyrics at children. That is SUCH a big no-no, it shouldn't even have to be explained. No, he probably won't go to jail for twenty years, but he's gonna get his ass sued so hard, and he deserves it. And his reputation is done. I'm a graduate student of education (soon to be a teacher) and I'm currently taking a class where I'm learning all about these kinds of lawsuits, and which ones are constitutional (and which ones aren't). This is absolutely an invasion of privacy (among other things) and he deserves to pay the consequences. Yeah, I get it. It's *just* a YouTube video. And to a lot of people without kids or who are immature or who have never been in contact with pedophilia or these kinds of lawsuits before, it may seem like not a big deal. But there's absolutely several things he did legally wrong and he's going to be brought up on some charges. The twenty years of jail time might be too harsh, but the fact that he should be punished for committing some pretty unsafe illegal activity isn't an overreaction. Stop thinking like that kid and think like parents or schoolchildren or teachers. You don't get a free pass from the law for being an idiot. | ||

There are plenty of people that actually physically commit crimes, that get less time. If he actually sang a song about sex to children. IMO it wouldn't even warrant 3 years. If parents get walked in on by their kids, should they be prosecuted??? Technically its worse. | ||
