Do you think he should've gotten jail time?

[frnchjeep]

It sounds ridiculous to me. I can understand the parents being upset and that it was inappropiate and that legal prosecution should have been a result. This how ever is a complete stretch of the law for the benefit of a legal system that seems to slowly be trying to turn the U.S. into some sort of police state. I wish I knew more details about the video, like Lep said so I could have a better argument. I just can't imagine how the video could fall under the law as child pornography. From what I understand he only used explicit lyrics. What lyrics shown on a video with no real kids present can be considered child pornography? Was his sole intention to distribute this "inappropiate" video to children? Where was the crime other than the illegal use of the childrens likeness? Though I find this perversion of the law distrurbing, the most disturbing part is that some people are applauding it. They're basically applauding the slow loss of our civil rights. It's a scary state people of a slippery slope that this country is falling into. Call me paranoid, but I worry about the future of this country when I see things like this. With the "Recession" going on and all the distractions of inflation I fear that those of us who would oppose things like this are too distracted to do anything about it or even notice it at times. Then again matbe I'm paranoid.

Is the first minute of this video "child porn"? Sexually suggestive pedo lyrics with kids sitting on santa's lap. Is it ok when a famous artist does it? This artist has a much stronger panel of lawyers, I'm sure, but isn't it basically the same thing?

You're right, the two months are insignificant... he will probably be out in a couple weeks if he behaves, but thats not the point. Once you are a registered sex offender, you are basically a leper. It stays with you for life, and it DOES ruin your life. It is somewhat unclear if that is the case with this story, but if that is the case, he is getting MUCH worse than he deserves.

luv that vid but HATE vevo. they ruined youtube. censor everything

side note the one girl dancing the in second chorus used to be dancing in everyones videos and acting. she just disappeared. wonder what happened?

So would anyone be ok with someone editing together a sexualized video with your own kids in it? Unlike someone claimed in this thread, it didnt show the kids from the back, their faces were clearly shown and their facial expressions were juxtaposed with perverted lyrics. They looked like they were participating in and enjoying the perverted song the guy was singing "to them". Ive actually seen the video and it is clearly the work of a very sick mind.

 

[Morledzep]

well, apparently the video that i saw was a different one. i'm still not sure why it was called child porn.. bad taste is NOT a crime.

..Why did the school let him in to begin with? ..They should be in question.

If i was a parent of one of these kids i would be angry at the school...why are you letting some stranger video tape my kid anyway?!

I find it funny people are freaking out about this ...ever seen Monty Python's Every sperm is sacred? lol.

I don't know how you guys come up with he will be a sex offender. He won't be allowed to be within 500 feet of any children under 18 yearsold, but he's not a sex offender. For the charge that he plead, that's his choice. He should get a better lawyer... It looks like he made one bad choice after another, so he seems deserve it!
Just curious, how would you feel and what would you want that person be charged when one day you're driving down a street and see a giant billboard with your teenage daughter in it, that someone used, to advertise his massage parlor, without your knowledge or consent?

 

[channarox]

I don't get the fuss... It was a stupid video, who cares. If it didn't escalate to this point, most people wouldn't even have known about it. I know I didn't.

You may want to read the stated plea deal again.

If you work, use some perverted lyrics with your female coworkers, and find out whether they're going to get you for sexual harrashment or they're going to invite you for a sleepover...

Not only he has a much stronger panel of lawyers, but he also obtained parental consent, and paid them for using their kids.. He and his lawyer(s) know how to cover his back!
