Edit: So what happens in florida if you actually molest a child, or distribute this kind of thing?....since there are no harsher circumstances? Pretty baffling to me. | ||

This is kinda ridiculous. A harsh sentence is necessary imo cause child porn is just fucking sick. But life sentence for just possession is kinda disproportionate. Yes, but interesting that the sentence is more than most actual child molesters get. I really think therapy would be a better solution to those non-violent offenders, while life should be saved for those who actually produce/participate in child pornography. | ||

Maybe he thought it applied to the States too? In any event, this guy should go to jail, but not for longer than rapists. lifetime is lifetime, but usually there is a possibility of parole after a certain amount of time (10-25 years in this case, maybe less). only when you get life without parole is it actually a lifetime. given the overcrowding in america and the non-violent nature of child porn possession (and complete bullshit of a life sentence), i doubt this guy will serve more than a decade (if his lawyers completely fubar his appeal that is). | ||

A sentence of 25 years is known as "a sentence of 25 years".I don't know the exact ins and outs, but a "lifetime" sentence in Canada usually ends up being like 20-25 yrs. You're probably thinking of life with parole, but this sentence was of life without parole. On November 06 2011 11:08 lizard219 wrote: Thanks! I'll update the OP with your link.http://ccsoblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/update-man-charged-with-500-counts-of.html this source has some more informations: "Some of the videos and pictures showed boys ages 6 to 12 engaged in sexual activity with adults and each other, according to arrest reports. " "Through the investigation, detectives tracked child pornography files that were shared over the Internet to the Internet Protocol, or IP, address, on Guevara Vilca’s computer." | ||

Yay sex with a minor is worse then possesion and the fact that the sentence for sex with a minor is lower than what this guy got is fucked up! But i still think the sentence is appropriate. Why they seems to think raping a child deservers less jail time is just... stupid... | ||

The government is just trying to sent out a message that they are serious about this. The guy is just unlucky to a scrape goat. | ||

True that life time can be for life. but normaly it is around 25 year. but I'm not sure if that is the case since it is without the possibility of parole.

Maybe if I see some particularly thoughtful posts here, I'll highlight them in the OP.It this kind of thread that shows the weakness of the "forum" as a place to share opinions: one idiot make a stupid post > his statement is quoted twenty times and all the elaborate posts are almost never relayed. | ||

What an unfortunate fetish for someone to develop/be born with. they have rehab programs, including chemical castration (ouch!). like a lot of fetishes/desires, its extremely hard to control, but possible. | ||

Why is there a need to lock him away eventhough he didn't harm anyone? His "punishment" (besides his already mentioned ruined life) should be a psychiatric treatment (of course he has to pay for it). | ||
