A former friend of mine, going to prison for possessing child porn

Seems one of our good Buddies at the DUmp knows a pedophile. I wonder how many of you are thinking the same thing I am about now...

A former friend of mine, going to prison for possessing child porn
   
Edited on Fri Jun-26-09 08:16 PM by Philosoraptor
An old friend and former business associate of mine here in the midwest pleaded guilty the other day to downloading and possessing child porn. He was also a music teacher in two local schools. He has a 22 year old daughter. I was totally shocked when I first heard about my former friend last fall, and everyone who knew him is shocked as well.

Although he may never have actually touched a child in a sexual way, his computer had hundreds of thousands of images of children who were exploited in the most horrific ways. There are real victims in child porn, and real criminals. He was caught up in a year and a half investigation, which also turned out to be a sting operation, now he's facing a minimum of 5 years, and a max of 110 years. He awaits sentencing.

Although I only knew one side of this guy, there was another, sinister side. I have sympathy for his family, but none whatsoever for his criminal activity involving child porn. It doesn't matter how nice of a guy he was all those years ago when I worked with him, I can't separate this knowledge of his pedophile side, from his public side. I wish I could explain it better, but that is the general consensus among all my friends who know this guy too.

I can never think about this man in any other context than as a pedophile, and I loathe pedophiles. He was one of the sweetest guys I ever met or worked with, very personable, people friendly, highly intelligent and respected by everyone who knew him, which is why it was such a shock to all of us who know him. We just can't think of him in any other way now, which is very, very sad.

New thread, no replies yet

I wonder which is worse... being publicly outed as a pedophile or a friend of Philosoraptor?

I went back to the thread, and just read what has to be the worst thing Ive ever seen on a computer screen.

If anyone wants to say that a downloader of CP images is an enabler of child exploitation, I am simply going to reply that gun proliferation KILLS kids. Kills them dead or horribly maims them.

If the First Amendment doesn't protect kiddie porn, the Second Amendment shouldn't protect gun ownership in the civilian population.

Oh yes I screencapped this. And IanDB1..You now have a roommate in the most disgusting primitive alive ward.

Good catch, Miskie.  That is disgusting.

sharesunit reminds me of this slightly modified joke....

Dear Abby,

I am a crack dealer in Beaumont, Texas, who has recently been diagnosed as a carrier of HIV virus. My parents live in Fort Worth. One of my sisters lives in Houston and is married to a transvestite. My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana. They are financially dependent on my other two sisters, who are prostitutes in Dallas.

I have two brothers: one is currently serving a life sentence at Huntsville for the murder of a teenage boy in 1994. My other brother is currently in jail awaiting charges of sexual misconduct with his three children.

I have recently become engaged to marry a former prostitute who lives in Longview. She is a part time 'working girl.' All things considered, my problem is this. I love my fiancée and look forward to bringing her into the family. And I certainly want to be totally open and honest with her.

My question is: should I tell her about my friend who posts DU?

Signed,
Worried About My Reputation

Something tells me investigators could find some interesting stuff on DUmmy sharesunited's hard drive.

This idiot must be a Keith Olbermann fan... this is the kind of retarded bullshit I would expect him to come up with.

I'd say that both are equally as bad as the other.

Are we sure that this DUchebag isn't Olbermann?

Real victims? Real criminals?

No shit!!!!

A person he knows has to be caught for him to realize there are real victims in child porn? For him to realize pedophiles are real criminals?

The level of intelligence....or lack of....of members of the DU never ceases to astound me.

We expect these people to wake up and realize they are getting screwed by a Democratic President and Congress?
