BEAVER DAM, Wis. -- A drifter who rented a house in Beaver Dam where he operated a widespread child pornography ring pleaded guilty in federal court at Green Bay Friday.

Criminal complaints and federal affidavits say William Martin (pictured, left) sexually assaulted at least 13 boys, invited men he met on the Internet to do the same, then recorded the activity and sold the images.

Authorities said the victims ranged from 7 to 15 years old.

The U.S. Attorney's Office said the 33-year-old man pleaded guilty to multiple counts of inducing a minor into sex to produce pictures and possessing child pornography.

He faces 50 years in prison when sentenced Aug. 4.

Joel Kline (pictured, right), of Freeport, Ill., was also charged along with Martin.

Authorities said the two men moved around the country selling goods at fairs and flea markets. With a prior conviction for aggravated sexual assault, Kline was sentenced to life plus 30 years.

Two other men are charged in federal court with traveling across state lines to have sex with the boys.

Glad you didn't take offense. Just having a little fun. Disgusting human being, however.

Send 'em all to the court where Vlad Tepes is both judge and jury.

Why, thank you. I think the women here rock. Smart, good looking, articulate, moral, upstanding. Not smelly, foul-mouthed and brainwashed like those DU Chicks. ;)

From the articles at that link, it looks like the mothers were in on it. That would explain the delay before one boy spoke up about all this. Wait..it doesn't say how this was uncovered. Anyone, know?

Do I need to ask where the fathers were while their sons were used as playings by these pedophiles?

You're making the mistake of thinking these animals are human.

They should be treated like the beasts they are. Killed without remorse and buried in an unmarked grave.

All Homosexual males are latent pedophiles. I know I will get flack over that statement , but when is the last time you saw a 50 year old male prostitute? Given a choice between a 30 year old man and a 16 year old boy any good queer will choose the boy.

This isnt about porn its about gay males and the homosexual lifestyle.

You're not the only one. Many Wisconsinites favor The Death Penalty in cases like this.

Agreed. No punishment is too harsh.

I'm going to need to see some homos who stand up and demand that William Martin get beaten to death before I disagree with you. The queers seem to accept child rape as normal, but before anyone assumes I hate homos for their actions between consenting adults let me say I think hetero scumbag child predators need to be publicly ripped to shreds after torture.

Children don't understand how they are used by sexual predators. I have no sympathy for murderers and thieves...I have less for sexual predators. I hope and prey slug Martin dies a horrible death and is tortured in hell for destroying innocence. I want to hear his screams. I have children. I see my youngest son sleep and worry over the future, politics, and social changes. I live in a good neighborhood yet I worry that I should move to a safer neighborhood or buy a security alarm. Some nights I sleep fitfully because he is coughing or I hear a noise outside.

I cannot understand how so many fathers abandon their children...worse still are those that abuse their own flesh and blood. I am so angry after reading about this story and yet I know this is only one of many. It tests my faith.

I explained and sympathized with the victims. The poster didn't take offense.

Sorry I offended you.
