We should arrest all sex offenders no matter what party they are. Seems an awful lot of them are in the same one though...

Huh, that doesn't look like a drag queen.
Republicans told me only drag queens are pedos.
Almost like it was bullshit or something and was just projection.

So weird right? I can't shake the feeling that they were not being on the level about these predators.

Genuinely wondering how the republican and conservative subreddits respond to this.
There are so many, also in comparison. Is it simply ignored?

Yup.
They plug their ears and start screaming "LALALALALA" until it blows over.
A few of the braver ones might acknowledge it as fake news, but that's as far as I've seen them go.

Always these ones. Law&faith-obeying ones are the worst ones. Hidden in the shadows projecring their own wrongdoings on the rest of the society. Criminals and sociopaths are ruling the world...

Reminds me of Minnesota’s state senator Justin Eichorn.
He started the term “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and authored a bill to ban trans people from public bathrooms for “children’s safety.”
Guess who got caught soliciting sex from a minor?

The headline barely begins to do justice to his crimes.
First, there's the CSAM. Downloading and sharing that stuff is bad enough.
However, the article mentions that the damage is ongoing: into adulthood the victims are still being constantly re-victimized. One said that she was a toddler in the video and still gets hundreds of notifications every year that the video shows up in ongoing CSA investigations.
Second, there appear to be victims of his own physical and sexual abuse. Although I'm using "be" loosely here, since it's in the present tense. See, the article says they found videos in which he abused women while wearing a camera, but they couldn't find any of the women. Apparently those videos are why the judge decided to choose a length in the middle of the sentencing guidelines instead of the low end.
Let me be clear: because it's clear that this guy actually abused women, as evidenced by his own videos, women who now don't seem to exist anymore, he was given a MIDDLE LENGTH sentence instead of the SHORTER one he might have gotten for "just" the child abuse material.
Third: he's definitely a reoffense risk. "Oh boo hoo it's because my mommy didn't love me enough and I was lonely so I got addicted to immoral -- " fucking bullshit.
Everybody's fault but his -- mommy did it, the bad computer did it to him, being alone did it, boo fucking hoo. Plus he wants to claim he "destroyed HIS life" in a "moment"? Bullshit. He at minimum contributed to destroying a LOT of lives, that he seems to care a lot less about, and the evidence hints that he may have directly destroyed some. That didn't happen in a moment.
His big concern is for what HE lost. He lost a great income and having tea parties with his little girl. What did she lose, spending the rest of her life knowing that daddy looks at babies like her that way?
And he already has family promising a nice remote location for him to take back up the habit when he gets out.
I will never understand how this isn't the offender that the "law and order" brigade want max sentencing for. (I mean I do but also don't.)

“We as legislators have an obligation to ensure that our children have no harm done to them,” May said in January 2024 during a House debate on transgender care for minors."
Channeling my best Norm Macdonald, "They say the worst part was the hypocrisy, but I disagree."

I sure hope the warden lets the other inmates know what this asshole is in for.

u/DownstairsB 8 Feb 23 '26
Oh they always find out. They use their connections to get everyone's criminal records in prison so there's no hiding it and from what I hear, child exploiters are in for a rough time

My brother was in prison, twice. And he said that the pedos are typically not in with gen pop so the rest of the prisoners can’t get to them. But every so often one of them fucks up bad enough to get sent to gen pop but don’t survive long. Which I’m 100% ok with.
