… or you can actually molest a child and get less than 1/10th the time.

A former member of a politically connected Northern Kentucky family is scheduled to be sentenced to seven years in prison for sex crimes with a minor, the commonwealth’s Attorney General announced Wednesday.

In reply to Florida Action Committee. I guess I'll have to stop watching The Military Channel or I could be declared a mass killer. As one of our esteemed national leaders once said, "Common sense isn't common any more".

In reply to Joe123. I suppose that common sense or reliance on facts is no longer a requirement to get a judgeship. Watching child pornography is a 'sick fetish',however, not one that can't be corrected in far less than 100 years. This is what happens when the value of human life of all kinds is no longer given any value.

Joe – you are correct! There is no monetary market for CP – as a matter of fact it would be almost impossible for the producer of CP to follow its progression in the free market after it is introduced to the internet. Also, the irony is that “back in the day” before the internet, in order for one to acquire CP they would have had to go to a “seedy” establishment and purchase it and yet at that time the punishment for doing so was much less. In addition, once some purchased the CP it was almost impossible for LE to know who they were unless it was discovered in some police encounter with that person. Further, in the days when there WAS profit in the production of CP less people would have been “caught up” in that World because of the effort involved in acquiring it. It is all just insane….

Here’s the Whole entire problem with this country, in one sentence. This guy receives 100 YEARS IN PRISON for possessing disgusting images! 100 YEARS, 10 decades in a small cell until his death. Not being allowed to contribute anything to society or ever live a normal day again in his life. Let that sink as as it seems people in this country that aren’t competely outraged about this grotesquely out of proportion sentence have lost heir damn minds. You can violently assault or attempt to kill someone, and you wouldn’t get as much time as this person who happened to have a sick choice of a ‘fetish’. And the flawed argument that it creates a market should also prove with empirical evidence that ‘free’ markets work. There is no evidence that downloading someone’s homemade videos will result in some reward to that person that enables them to carry out more of that behavior. There is no money or tangible transaction that occurs so there is no irrefutable proof of this claim of the ‘marketplace’. When people create rewards and especially pay for materials like this then yes it absolutely creates a demand/supply market. Let’s keep discussions around this crime as honest and not just solely base sentences on knee-jerk emotional reactions.

Aside from being completely upset that this man received such a sentence for what many consider a non-contact crime – I want to interject that if a person has peer-to-peer turned to non-sharing and they still access the computer it is illegal search and seizure. The problem arises when they come for you because your computer is taken out of your hands and you have no proof of the settings after that. I am also dismayed by the statement…”“I see little difference in culpability between those who actually sexually abuse and exploit children, and those who encourage and promote the conduct by downloading and sharing videos of such, which I think warrants a significant sentence,” he said.”

So, if that is true then everyone who looks at a photo of a murdered person is guilty of murder? If you view pictures of a horrendous car accident are you then as responsible as the person at fault for the accident? To me to even go to that level that a person that looks at an image is the same as the person that produced the image is a travesty of justice. In Florida, it is illegal to possess a cartoon image of CP – where is the victim in that? No, I am sorry this is not about the victims at all in my opinion.

Another case of pure ‘lunacy’.

File sharing programs are plain trouble! The fact is most US and many Euro including East Block file sharing Companies are either watching and reporting suspicious activity or when a investigation begins.. they give up your ID and activity. All the State needs is forensic proof that he was using the program to download illegal material. At that point cops setup their own communication between suspect and perpetrate a sting.

So they prove not only the materials found on your drives but exactly how it got there. The defense of “no idea how it got into my computer” is basically fruitless if the cops have ID your ISP and your history of traffic on the net.

Nobody except a pro hacker can remotely control your computer without your security software alerting you. This is a landmark case as Cop technology is finally catching up. JEV
