The judge must be a very old man. It may have been something to have 400+ child pornography images back in the 1980s since that would take a lot of your time and resources to gather - not to mention you would probably know whoever makes them.

But it's the present day. 1 Click to download a torrent, another to run in in your program, and bam - 400+ images in two clicks. And he got it for free. This isn't possession of cocaine, more is really kinda irrelevant in the digital age as long as you aren't buying or selling.

Completely fucking excessive sentence.... If this is not successfully appealed, I will lose a lot of respect for their justice system.

Im all for harsher sentencing. I think more crimes needs much more punishment because the current ones do not detour crime.

So yay, enjoy your prison cell.

He deserves it simply cuz its to much of a risk to let a person who could ruin a child life free.
There are very few cases where the accused is sentenced to life prison and there are even cases where the crimes are higher then this one but those cases should be the one where they also get life prison not this one that should not.
There is not one good reason to let a guy who was in possession of child porn free unless it was something like 15-8 yers old porn that the justice system still class "child" porn in some countries or if the guy actually did not knew what he was downloading.
Its not worth the risk of this guy making something with his life to let him free and risk a child getting raped and maybe even killed resulting in him ruining a life that would most likely have been much more "productive" then his own.
A good strategy means leaving your opponent room to make mistakes

Westboro Church shits on people getting destroyed and takes pleasure in it. Should we lock them all up in jail for life as well?

How about religious fundamentalists? Or political extremists? They shit on people, even children, all the fucking time and take pleasure in it. You shit on a dozen sexual deviances every time you fap to your computer, just like everyone else.

Shitting on people and taking pleasure in it isn't a crime, it's a right. It's when your shitting actually does something that shit starts to matter. And if you're going to tell people that downloading child porn is worse than actually molesting children...well, it's your right to shit on them, too, but you'll look like an idiot doing so.

Nothing to discuss here imo.

Hopefully this helps sends a message to make more people stay away and seek help for their addictions.

What kind of stupid logic is this? I saw it brought up by that Zinnwaldite guy as well, about punishing someone for crimes that may/may not have committed, or in your case, what they may commit in the future... How can you possibly support this?

You saying we should lock up a shop lifter forever, just as a precaution in case they decide to escalate into armed robbery? We should give a life sentence to someone for assault, to prevent them from ever murdering anyone? We should lock somebody up who watches S&M porn just in case they decide to go tie up some chick and rape her?

Sorry man that's a stupid argument, you don't give someone life just to prevent something that they MIGHT do, you punish them for the crime they HAVE done. And in this case, a shorter prison sentence + serious counselling might actually have the same effect in preventing him for re-offending, instead of locking his life up and throwing away the key.

Edit: I'm not saying that denying someone parole because you think they are likely to re-offend is wrong, but blatantly punishing someone for something they have never done before is just stupid...

Life in prison to all people who look at gore on various websites because we can't risk them going out and killing people.

Let's be safe and put people in jail for crimes they haven't commited... reminds me of a bad Tom Cruise movie...
If you honestly can't see the moral dilemma in that, I'm really glad you don't have any real political power.

I don't view it as a helpful way to handle things. You need to understand that.

Maybe one day we'll come close to having an ideal society but if we start giving out life sentences to people who need mental help, that's a good sign that we're not being too progressive.

Granted, some people are all about retribution and couldn't care less about running things intelligently... Maybe they weren't raised right =)...

This situation seems fairly complex. To make a simple statement, though. I think it's unfair. He's a twisted guy for beating off to child porn but... I don't really have anything to come after but. As soon as I said but I thought about the children in the pictures that he was wanking to. It's not their fault that people are exploiting them, these people ruin the lives of infants frequently.
He's supporting something that is absurd and disgusting. There is no arguing that. So if you're going to put him in jail for looking at pictures....... JAIL every single child rapist that is convicted, simple fix. I'm talking about jail for life to clarify.
Man up justice system.
Wishing you well.

No since its only porn, if he did not produce or reenact it in any way. I do not mean it is not sick, I just mean that it should not be life. 5 to 20 years is good.

EDIT:
Had Mr. Vilca actually molested a child, they note, he might well have received a lighter sentence.

I actually rofld for 5 minutes when I read this.

It's amazing that how people like you are basically enabling the nonsense crime bills to pass in Canada right now under the premise that crime is getting worse or that the current system fails at deterring crime when Canada is currently showing the lowest crime rate in decades.

Crime rates are down? Better put more people in prison and build more prisons.

Makes a lot of sense.

It's apparently the hot political move around the world... The Victorian government is trying to do the exact same thing here in Aus. Complete idiocy.

The argument is that by downloading/viewing CP for free you're supporting the CP industry and the production of CP.

Then why are people also killing the movie/videogame industry when they download moives/games for free?

I think CP is nasty and they should definitely do whatever they can to go after the producers and people who pay for it, but it seems like you never hear about that, it's always the people who download it.

That is beyond gross. It is more disgusting to support this sort of punishment than the crime he committed. Rape carries less punishment than what he is getting, what is more harmful?

Somewhat side not, I actually feel bad for pedophiles, they cannot force themselves to have normal sexual tendencies so they either are labeled a monster or they cave in to their baser urges in ways that harm children (directly or indirectly). It would be hell.

Holy shit. Some people here need to calm down. No one is defending the fact that this sick fuck had Child Porn. Rather they're taking the implications of the ruling and stating their discomfort with its potential ramifications as it sets a precedent. What's more the punishment is disproportionate relative to other more heinous crimes.

That doesn't mean we find his activities any less disgusting or vile. Just that we're willing to look past the trees in order to see the forest.
