Do you think he should've gotten jail time?

[scalesandfins]

thats way over kill IMO

Since we don't know the exact detail of that plea deal, all I can think of is it keeps him from repeating what he did.



This is not about freedom of speech. This is about consent, and abuse. Imagine someone went to your sons and daughters school, filmed them and their classmates sitting, watching and listening to book reading, then without your knowledge and consent, edited the clip to make it look like them sitting, watching and listening to two porn stars in action, and blast it all over the internet. How do you feel about it, as parents?

i get what you're saying....but where's the crime? causing someone emotional distress is not a crime. you sue for emotional distress, not put them through the criminal court system.

Would you feel the same way if this had happen at an all freshmen college class? there's still no consent and so called "abuse" (i see it as emotional distress that effects the parents more then the children) but they happen be 18+. Was a crime still commited?

If that happened to my daughter, i would be upset that they filmed my daughter without consent.

As far as editing it later to look like she saw 2 porn stars, i could care less, because she was never actually exposed to the 2 porn stars, so her innocence would not have been effected at all.

The Chappelle show had a skit about drugs and STDs a few years ago, it had kids all over it and nobody considered it child pornography. The fact that the kids and parents consented should not change the definition of "child pornography"

i remember that, when i saw it, i thought, this is gonna upset a lot of people

but it didn't make no noise at all

This is despicable. But this is your post-9/11 America. We wanted homeland security, and in exchange forked over our civil liberties [I've heard this term before....oh wait, Hitler had that very same thing]. Our liberties are being stripped every day. The veracity of the 9/11 myth [obviously I dispute a few of the 'facts' - please - pm me and scream. I love that], is irrelevant. But it is being exploited like crazy to liquidate and dissolve our civil liberties. What he did was creepy, and weird, but not a crime. There was np crime whatsoever. No more of a crime than when a kid swears in a movie, or grabs a girl's Fun Brand™ bags. It's the same thing. But hollywood producers don't go to jail.

Do you have kid, daughter to be specific? If you do, i don't understand how could you be careless? It's not about whether your daughter exposed to the 2 porn stars. It's about her image, her reputation. If someone saw the vid, and think your daughter like those kind of stuff, or "careless" of whatever she thinks, do thing to her, and claimed that he did it, because he thinks she likes "those kind of thing." How do you feel now? Do you still careless?

i get what you're saying....but where's the crime? causing someone emotional distress is not a crime. you sue for emotional distress, not put them through the criminal court system.

I don't know where you got the "emotional distress." Didn't see it from your original post. Fraudulent is a crime isn't it?
As for the "if" part, if the kids are 18+, they are legally able to give consent... So your "if" is out of the window!

i agree this guys life just got screwed because he did something stupid now as a registered sex offender anyone might see his name on the registry and think he raped a kid the system screwed up big on this one

You need to read again... He's not a registered sex offender!

[Lepisosteus platyrhincus]

again, this is way over kill. He should have never had to go through the court system

 

[balton777]

With the right lawyer he might have got this thrown out.
