Absurd US sentencing as man gets 200 years for porn charges

[MadmanDan]

If he was caught actually molesting a child, they should hang the bastard, but only for posessing pictures....Jesus !


  Pedophilia is a disease, and, assuming that he didn't abuse any child, he used the pictures to stop his cravings

[Axl4Prez2004]

I see nothing absurd about this sentence.  I think it's sad he's not doing harder time. 

Seriously...to call pedophilia a disease is laughable.  Yeah, sometimes I buck the scientific community (in this case the psychologist/psychiatrist wing) because in cases like this they have little evidence.

Part of me wants to shoot this scumbag...but my better side wins out.  Life in prison.  Those who know my posts know what kind of s-e-r-i-o-u-s hard time I'm talking about. 

Polluxlm, you're serious?  You think there's no victim?  Polluxlm said, "That's right, he was looking. How that constitutes death or life in prison is beyond me. Despicable yeah, but not in a million years worse than rape, murder or actual child molestation."  Nobody said it was worse.  Our penalties for crimes like those are slaps on the wrist. 

I believe in justice, and this scumbag should rot in prison!

Pedophilia, however sick and disgusting and horrific it is, IS in fact a disease. A psychological disease that someone is born with. At the moment it is incurable, but hopefully in the future there will be a way to combat it and to prevent it ever occurring. I think there has to be more research done in the field of genetics to prevent this and a whole bunch of other horrific diseases existing.

I thought i read the supreme court decided that pornographic images help child molesters from acting out, so their punishment wouldnt be severe if they had no previous abuse charges. Makes sense that way.

I remember back in 99-2000 there were lots of teen photo sites with nonude amatuer teens and the supreme court ruled photos cant be distrubuted without their parents consent so most of the websites good photos were removed. And replaced with boring proffesional teen model websites that have parents consent. Sucked at the time cuz i was 19, 20 years old.

Jail him, treat him, fire him. All reasonable punishments

it has already been proven that child molestors are UNTREATABLE....they never change.........its nice to see you stand up for the "rights" of a person who looks at child porn....but in this country just looking at child porn is against the law....unfortunately other countries are not up to our standards on that issue....is 200 years excessive? sure ...but he should be locked away for life....why risk him walking the streets? seriously?  why even give him the chance. to rape a kid....he is obviously sick in the head and has no business in our society....

[Axl4Prez2004]

JohnSDMF is absolutely right.  Lock him up and throw away the key.

A disease Skynyrdgirl?  Are you kidding me??  You honestly think they are born with this?  That's ridiculous. 

People like this should rot in jail.  Sorry.

I'll make this blunt...

I watch porn with twenty something year old "well put together" females, why you ask?? Because I like "well put together" 20 something year old women.

Porn isn't like video games... I don't think that beacuse a kid kills gang members in Grand Theft Auto he will run out and asssault Black kids at school, but on this topic if I get a random chance to sleep with a "super hot" blonde that is over sexed than I will... Same with this guy, If you get off on an 11 year old boy getting touched by the "cool neighbor" than you are more than likely going to find a way to become the "cool neighbor" in your town.

Makers, buyers, sellers, and traders of Child Porn are or will become sexually involved with a child at some point. Anything thing that can be done to get these animals off the streets is good with me. As it is these animals are too protected. If they do get out of prison for touching or just watching a child they instantly have several groups fighting for their rights, so they don't have to Register in the communities they work and live in. Why should that predator be released into society without protecting the children of that community?

Yeah so is cancer... But people die from it everyday, with no choice!! Its like they have a life scentce... Nothing wrong with a Pedophile getting one themselves 

[SLCPUNK]

While technically he is not sexually abusing a child (while viewing the porn), he is still an accomplice of sorts, since the video was created for his sexual gratification. The child was abused by another adult for him (and other sick fucks) to watch and masturbate to. I still believe the creators of child porn should receive a much harsher penalty, but on the other hand this guy is just as responsible for the sexual abuse as those who perpetrated the horrendous act on the children themselves. Chicken and the egg I suppose-anyway fuck them.

[DarkFairy]

I say anyone who even thinks of children in that way should get such a punishment (or be hung by their balls)    so can't say there's much compassion coming from this direction (and I have friends in prison, so I'm not some crazed 'kill all criminals' type, just utterly sickened and disgusted by pedophiles and the like)

[Jim Bob]

a violation of the 18 USC 2257 (record keeping requirements for producers such as myself) is a sentence of 10 years in prison.    so yea the punishment does seem harsh, but who cares.  its some sick fuck who wants to jerk off to pictures of young boys.   he doesn't deserve a free life.

It IS a disease, and they ARE born with it! Its a genetics defect. What else could make someone want to do something so disgusting!?
I'm not condoning their behavior, no fucking way! They should most definitely be put in jail for life!

But I'd rather that research be done in order to prevent it instead of us having to pay taxes to feed, clothe and shelter those assholes!

[freedom78]

The people who produce these things should be locked away.

200 years is a bit much.
He still probaly jerks off to the thought of children in jail.

Probably. So, what exactly has been achieved by imprisoning him? Seems like a question worth asking.

[SLCPUNK]

Keeping him far away from children that he may harm.

Then shouldn't all adults be locked up? I mean, by accident or by design we all may harm children. Following your logic; shouldn't we arrest anyone who is proven to have downloaded pornography,  as they may choose to sexually abuse the objects of their own peculiar desires. I know, I know; "Only a tiny percentage of the people who have ever, in the history of mankind, obtained pornography have gone on to become rapists and other sundry abusers." True. But what percentage of rapists and abusers have accessed pornography to satiate or fuel their lusts? Backwards logic? Nonsensical? Yes, no matter who it's applied to.

you are truly lost my friend.....does it feel good to stick up for the scum that look at child porn?  seriously...do you feel better about yourself for taking this stand?

[Mama Kin]

200 years is fuckin ridiculous sentence. 50 or 75 would have done just the same thing. 200 is just a number the judge pulled out of his ass to make it look like something is being done, when in fact, nothing is actually being done to solve the problem at all.

[polluxlm]

Do you feel good about wanting a stranger dead?

It's not about sticking up for him, it's the principle.
