This is completely fucked up, give him a warning, take away his internet, heck even put him on the paedophiles listing, but life in jail? Ha, nice one America.

Yea, watching pictures of a child getting raped is way worse than actually raping a child.
Good judgement right there.

No...read it again, it says if he did he would've received a lighter charge. Hence the outrage.

Pretty sure you should read more carefully. "Had Mr. Vilca actually molested a child..." (the words of the article linked in the OP) ≠ "Vilca actually molested a child".

I would throw in someone who hurts themselves by using drugs and goes to jail for 20 years is wrong too. A lot of punishments we have are no where near appropriate for the crime but like tons of things we do in america we do it because we have always done it that way and whoever is too lazy/cheap to fix it.

Possession is considered as severe as distribution in American law because of the commercial sexual exploitation of children, one of the largest sources of income within the black market. A lot of the children that are involved in kiddie porn are these exploited children and child sexual abuse, especially on the commercial scale, is about as traumatic as you can get. As demand grows, so too will the supply of children. In addition, several studies have been done on those convicted of CP. Seto (2010) found 1 in 2 admitted to a sexual offense in the self report yet only 1 in 8 actually had a prior sexual conviction. Considering that child sex offenders are masters of deceit and denial, I do believe the rate is higher. Regardless, not worthy of a life sentence but it does explain why sentencing is surprisingly harsh.

This is ridiculous, but the more of these news stories I read on TL, the more disillusioned I become. There is just SO much wrong with the world, and none of it is getting any better.

I should also point out that life in prison for a pedophile is more like a death sentence. The one thing pretty much all convicts agree on, is that pedophiles are horrible. Its actually pretty common to put the pedophiles in solitary confinement for their own safety, because otherwise, the other prisoners will almost certainly try to kill them.

it is gross, and it is unacceptable. But this is a terribly injustice.
We are humans, we make mistakes, we are different.
Some people like things others don't. This man likes something that happens to be, VERY illegal and immoral.
Of course its not correct to posses something like that, or its excusable. He knows it's illegal, but as stated in the OP, he probably didn't think twice before doing it.
I'd give him no more than 5 years so he learns the lesson. Any more than that is just injustice.

yeah, because possession of child porn is much worse than people who kill or rape.

What an unfortunate fetish for someone to develop/be born with.


This brings up an incredibly interesting point. How do you become a pedophile? I never really understood if you were born with it or if it just sort of happened for some reason. Like bestiality. How do these things develop?

Hans Teeuwen:

Dutch:

Ik wil dit niet willen. Maar daar heb ik toch niks over te zeggen. Dat heeft een Duitse filosoof ooit gezegd, weet je: “de mens heeft de keuze, om al dan niet te doen, wat hij wilt”. Hij kan wel of niet doen wat hij wilt. Maar een mens kan niet willen wat hij wilt.

Rough translation to English:

I don’t want to want this. But I don’t have anything to say about it. A German philosopher once said, you know “man has the choice to do or not to do, what he want”. He can do or don’t what he wants. But a person cannot choice what he wants.

Possession > act of rape. Makes perfect sense. Fucking joke of a justice system we've got here.

Yeah this is a joke. Child pornography is disgusting, but not worth a life time sentence. It's actually pretty funny that a justice system can be this inept.

So this guy has a child porn picture on his computer. How do we know for a fact he downloaded that picture and some roomate, friend, or someone that hates him went on his computer and did that? So if I hated someone I go on his computer download a child porn picture and that dude is going to jail for 20 years plus for something he never even did. How would you even defend that? The ip address can never be linked to the actual physical person using it unless someone saw the person doing it or saw them somewhere to prove they were not there.

years ago, lite 10 or more. I pirated a worms from a shop around where I live. I was filled with child porn, and worms.

It's not impossbile to find and possess child porn without a conscious desicion.

I could understand creating child porn, and the act of physicality being involved warranting a life sentence.... I never understood how the viewing of photos and videos can be illegal in itself. Certainly paying for it is another story because you are supporting it.

I dunno, this is a very tricky subject. Regardless, this guy's "life sentence" is more of a death sentence when the inmates find out what he's in for.

He'll likely get a reduced sentence on appeal. These sorts of harsh sentences should be reserved for those actually producing the material, not the end consumer. It's the same issue the US justice system has with drug related crimes: too many resources are wasted on targeting users.

I've never really understood that part of prosecuting internet related crimes either. Just because they can tie it to his computer, does that really prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was the one using it at the time? How can they be so certain, especially when the stakes are this high?

Uh the war on drugs there is a waste of resources if I ever saw one. Hey lets wage a war on something our country has high demand for and uses a lot of! That sounds like a great idea.
