i like the fact, that countrys in where porn is illegal, rape and sexual motivated crimes are far higher than in countrys with legal porn.

If you compare this with childpornography, than this means that by making child porn illegal you manage to get more children raped.

great job moralists, keep up the good work.

I have a question.

Can he appeal his sentence?
I have no understanding of our court system ( I am only 16 -_-). Mani's quote from the article is pretty true. This man could have done something so much more severe, but he gets the ultimate penalty.

I understand our court system is here to maintain and enforce law and order, but really, a life sentence is just rediculous.

Something getting the same punishment as things irrefutably worse. Very interesting manner of handling the situation.

I cannot fucking believe the ego of this judge. Life in prison for downloading a .jpg picture of a naked kid? Really? Ok, it's gross, and it's morally and legally wrong, I get it. But like the article said, this man could have probably sexually molested a kid and received a lighter sentence. He is a 26-year old with no previous criminal background, probably just working to get by, and now has his entire life destroyed because he was probably on 4chan every night looking at images to please himself out of a sexual fetish / boredom.

I don't really give a shit what somebody does in the privacy of their own home; you can cheat, you can do crack, you can cut yourself, etc., as long as it doesn't harm our communities directly. What's next? If I am 16 and I am caught playing Battlefield 3 which is 18+, I should be sentenced to life because it isn't suitable for society to know that I am playing a mature game?

Fucking retarded. I hope this judge loses his license. Completely uncalled for sentencing.

Edit: I have a suggestion, why not force him to get counseling and therapy, instead of end his life? Did you consider that, you imbecile?

Yeah, I read it. I'm just not sympathetic to anyone involved in the industry, or the consumers. At all. People can chalk it up to an uncontrollable fetish all they want. If someone rapes your son or daughter, films or photographs it, distributes it, and just for the sake of argument, you catch someone in posession of it, what are you going to do?


Oh, so revenge = justice?

Did you read the article? It questions whether or not downloading child pornography merits a similar punishment as first degree murder, and whether judges should sentence according to what they fear (looking at child porn leading to molestation) versus what they actually did (looking at child porn). I'm not sure downloading the stuff warrants execution.


I dont see why this guy should get off easier than a murderer for supporting an industry that make a living by sexualy abusing small children. It is by far the most disgusting and perverted thing a person can do if you ask me. I also dont see how the fact that its his first crimminal offence should factor into this. Its more like that its just the first time he got caught.
This sentence is obviously a statement and the high sentence is meant to scare the pedos. Like that woman that got fined 1.5 millon for share 100 songs.
Anyway, If they are going to lock the guy up until he dies they might aswell put him down right then and there. Whats the point of locking him up just to wait for him to die?


Good choice of words... "supporting" an industry that makes a living by sexually abusing small children. By using the word support, we imagine one of the pillars/masterminds behind the whole child porn industry, even though all that we know is he has images on his computer, whether he paid/supported/molested or not, we have no evidence for.

it will get overturned on appeal. no worries. there is this whole constitutional amendment thingy that prevents bullshit like this (i.e., excessive punishments).

But this is going into a whole new territory and that is thought crime. I see it more and more in Australia, Britain, USA, Canada more and more where you are put in prison for even thinking about something.

Or you have undercover operatives infiltrating grandpa centers and arrest them for their anti government talks, people in the 70's and 80's and this I've read just about a week ago.

Or how in Australia you can be put in prison for having plastic material in the glass designated trash, or how in Britain you can go to prison just by loaning a public book from a public library, o yeah, etc...

I see it as a means to clamp down on the public and create this false reality where you are accustomed to bizarre arrests and judgments.

And what happens if I still keep pics of my 15yo gf naked at the time and this was like 5 years ago and even then i was 2 years older?

Life sentence for you too! You're worse than a child molester!

Really though, this is extremely ridiculous.

another thing would be. did he find these pictures? or did he pay for them. lets say paided for a child porn site as opposed to random browser forum post he came across

both dont warrant a life sentence imho but paying seams more involved

Yes, his lawyer plans to appeal (quoted in the article linked in OP).

Even I took pause when I read the article. Rapists should be locked up for life (or killed). Passive pedophiles though? Ehhh...?

daphreak is right, it will probably get overturned. George Carlin was right about children being overvalued.

Yeah. Like murderers, rapists, people who downloaded pictures/videos.

Hint: one of these things is not like the other.

That's also a point: it's not clear that he paid for them (he disclaims knowledge of them in the first place), and if he didn't, the whole argument about 'indirectly supporting it' disappears.
