"charges were only dismissed years later due to a massive case backlog which resulted in the statute of limitations being allowed to expire"
Gee, let's have a look at that back log.

Dear Mr. President,
We respectfully request that you remove Kevin Jennings, the Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools, from your Administration. It is clear that Mr. Jennings lacks the appropriate qualifications and ethical standards to serve in this capacity.
As the founder of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), Mr. Jennings has played an integral role in promoting homosexuality and pushing a pro-homosexual agenda in America’s schools—an agenda that runs counter to the values that many parents desire to instill in their children. As evidence of this, Mr. Jennings wrote the foreword for a book titled Queering Elementary Education: Advancing the Dialogue About Sexualities and Schooling. Throughout his career, Mr. Jennings has made it his mission to establish special protections for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered students to the exclusion of all other students.
The rule of law is the rule of law.
He was never convicted.
I guess his next job was working along side that Silesby lady ferreting kids outta Haiti.
So the federal legal code re kiddie porn does not have a statute of limitations but many states have 3 years statute of limitations. My take on this is the state turned a blind eye or did not take sufficient action to address a backlog that let child porn possession charges walk away.
“There is no time limitation on federal prosecutions for child pornography. It can be commenced at any time. 18 USC 3299”
Wait... I thought that the statute of limitations only applies PRIOR to being charged... If he was already charged, then how did it get dismissed?
