Kiddie Porn and the FBI

I guess some of us respect the privacy of other people. I wouldn’t have been looking through his stuff to begin with. Even if I would have stumbled upon an illegal pic, I would have closed the folder and whistled about my business.

Earlier in your post, you did not say that he had an “extensive collection” I ASSUMED that there was a few pics downloaded off the net. If there were 30+ pics of the same kids, the sob should burn. Otherwise he is just like the millions of other regular joes who has seen a pic of a 15 year old girl. Like victome said, there are degrees.

LoL. Everyone in GA must be child molesters!

No, just dumb as shit. I mean we are only 8 days and 21 mins into '09 and you have already made the dumbest post of the year. Grats[/quote]

Only a white trash piece of shit would call the state of GA dumb as shit. I don’t hold it against NC though, I know you’re the minority.

If only pedophiles could stick to those Japanese porn drawings.

I would have minded my own business no offense. Hope you feel like a hero.

Agreed.

I saw the file names as I was copying the data which as it turns out pretty accurately described their content.

You are a really troubled individual.

What do I find, but the most nauseating collection of pix and flix featuring very VERY young boys engaged in all manner of adult activity… with each other.

1st:
When some one says collection “a few” is not what goes throw my mind. And he didnt say anything about a 15 year old girl, he said very young boys.

2nd:
If and when he got caught, and the FBI finds out that you worked on the computer and didnt report it you WOULD be charged with accessory. Then you get to share a cell with him.

So try to do what the OP did, stop and think what could happen to you and stop worrying about someone that you(the OP in this case) owes nothing to.

Yeah, I’m fucked up. That doesn’t mean that I molest children.

Good Job!

Hopefully, in a weird way, this guy was the one making the victims do the things they did rather than just downloading the pics.

That way, there will be however many fewer victims in the future. Great bust either way.

That really sucks you encountered such evil. Be proud you put an end to it.

A joint hurts nobody. Encouraging sexual abuse and possibly murder to cover tracks is a much, much worse crime than some guy deciding to introduce marijuana to his own body.

Thank you for having the balls to do the right thing Tiribulus!

A close friend of mine is an agent who spends the majority of his time on these cases. We have discussed the reasons for prosecuting these pervs and putting them away for the 5 yr minimum sentence under federal law.

He says the bottom line is that research shows 60-80 percent of these guys have been “hands on” with a minor at some point or another. Further, getting convictions in molestation cases is pretty difficult. In contrast, most child porn cases are straight forward and are a solid avenue for attacking the problem.

Good man. You did the right thing by contacting the authorities. A lot of people wouldn’t have taken the time or had the guts to get involved.

Hey. Whatever has been done is done. The guy is prob in jail right now anyways. My personal feelings on the matter of privacy may be a little extreme. I understand that the sick motherfucker was downloading little boy porn and that is very nasty.

The OP would not have been an accessory. It’s not like he saw a little boy get raped and did nothing. If you didn’t already know, there are thousands of kiddie porn pics in circulation over the net and even public officials get busted with them.

My point was simply that a man possibly innocent of sexual offenses is now a sexual offender.

The guy is not a sexual offender until proven guilty.
Possessing a collection of child pornography is a sexual offense, so there needs to be an investigation. Hopefully, the guilty party will be prosecuted.

The OP did the right thing.

Elano, you’re wrong. This is not opinion. This creep was committing a felony, and not anything “minor” like moving 20 +lbs of bud over state lines. He’s in possession of proof of evil, and needs to be seperated from the rest of the functioning world. People like this have a problem, and unfortunately for all involved it cannot be fixed. So, the solution is to remove them from society and put them in a situation where they can fully understand what it’s like to be the victim.

Had he not reported it by law, yes he would have been an accessory. That is not something that just happens to finds its way onto someones PC. That is something you go looking for. And by having it he is guilty regarless of your personal feelings.

I think that a lot of people who hold the right to privacy sacrosanct are missing the point here. I don’t give a crap who does what drug or who watches what porn, as long as the actors are consenting adults. There can be no such thing as child porn without the severe victimization of an innocent child.

I can do any drug or build any bomb or draw any picture without victimizing anybody. Child porn is NOT a victimless crime, and anybody who supports it (in the context of this argument, by downloading it) is validating it, and needs to be stopped.

And whoever said, “it’s like seeing a kid get raped and ignoring it” is just plain brilliant. If I ever saw somebody walk past someone else being victimized in such a way and do nothing, I’d first stop the assault and then I’d come back and pound some humanity through your thick skull. Seriously, that’s fucking cold.

And then they’re right back on the streets in short time<-----THIS is what needs to be fixed.

Great job! Not to many people want to deal with this kind of situation and you did it well! It seems like people have forgotten to be human, it’s as though we’re becoming zombies, going about our days and not even recognizing bad things like this when it happens. I don’t care what some may say, you did the right thing, and you know you did.

I’m sorry, but I cannot agree with respecting this guys privacy, are you shitting me?! This fucker gets off on watching kids having sex, and looking at pictures of them naked and he should be viewed as the victim? That’s what’s getting screwed up in our society, always looking for a pity excuse of the guilty’s actions but the innocent are the ones that often do the real time.

I do respect the privacy of others, in fact I’m a pretty big advocate of it, but when it comes to cases like this, all bets are off. It would be as if any one of us found out by accident where an unknown serial killer is decapitating his victims while you were at his house installing his cable, or repairing his toliet. Would you keep your mouth shut about that? I hope not. So why should should this subhuman perv be treated different?

I’ve known some people who have gotten raped by filth like this. Even as grown men, they are still messed up. In fact, one of those guys had gotten HIV from the experience! And to think that some spineless freak was watching it and beating his shit to that, really makes me sick. Child rapists, molesters, in my opinion deserve to have their dicks burnt off with a torch, with nothing to ease the pain.
