Los Gatos man alleged to have 750,000 child porn photos

A Los Gatos man faces 10 years in prison in what law enforcement officials are calling the largest child pornography bust in the Bay Area - more than 750,000 sexual photos of boys found tucked in in ammunition boxes and then buried in the man's backyard.

Michael F. Palmer, 53, covered his buried stash of explicit photos with plywood and plants in the Santa Cruz side of unincorporated Los Gatos, deputies said.

Most of the photographs, Sgt. Robin Mitchell said, came from overseas. But, officers also seized non-pornographic, homemade films of Palmer with local boys at nudist camps in Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties.

A member of several nudist groups and a man who had access to children, Mitchell said Palmer also may belong to the North American Man Boy Love Association, which advocates legalizing sex between adults and children.

Most of the images, according to Mitchell, show young boys engaged in sex acts with other children and adult men.

Spending hundreds of hours processing the evidence and working with a database from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, FBI investigators identified some of the children. Mitchell said there isn't evidence that Palmer knew any of the children pictured in the pornography, but added that officials are concerned he may have molested young boys.

Yes yes I RTFA; how many photos could fit into each one of those. I don't know how big the holes and the ammunition boxes are, i.e., if this 750,000 figure is possible or even plausible.

THAT SAID, a little rummaging around gives me a rough figure of 251 g/m^2 for one type of photographic paper for a home printer. Math time!:

Let's assume one picture is 4"x5", that's 0.0129 m^2. So 750,000 of them is 9677 m^2. That's a weight of 2429027 grams = 5350 pounds.

this is going to turn into one of those algebraic word problems that I’ve made it 20 years out of high school/16 out of college without needing to know how to do ...isn’t it? :)

Actually - I saw this too http://www.evanssports.com/Resources/Images/home.jpg- so who knows what kind of box they were

I know I would have a hard time carrying either type of box if it were full of ammo - so I’d think paper would be much less!?!

But that fact he had 16 of them BURIED, is more than a little odd

You Freepers are so judgmental and warped.

It's not molestation.....it's intergenerational love, man.

It's just another form of love, that's loving and stuff.

Didn't you get the memo?

Well if you take 750,000 photos and assume he looks at them for one minute apiece, that’s 12,500 hours of lechery.

At 8 hours per day, that comes to just under 4years and 4 months.

That leaves 16 hours a day for eating, sleeping, and wanking.

Just imagine all the wasted time, though, when he sees one, and says to himself, "Wait a minute! Didn't I just see that same shot last month...I'm SURE this is a duplicate! Let's see now; which box would that be in? When I find it, I'm suing the scumbag that sold them to me for fraud; he said they were 'All different!' I'm calling the cops...oh, thatr's right, I CAN'T!"

Public stocks, naked; 12 Red Ryder BB guns; 750,000 free BB's, first come, first served...then hang what's left of him when they're all gone.

This is a gay rights issue, he is a man and loves little boys.

So what if his choice is underage, these pedophiles march in Gay Pride events and Rudy for one has marched in support of Gay rights in these very same parades.

And everyone that thinks gay men marrying and adopting little kids is a good idea, you are also the same type of trach this man is.

What is even worse is that so many support these people on various levels.

Sick bastard. Every effort must be made using whatever means necessary to keep this sick freak away from the general public. Permanently.

The true face of homosexuality; the duality of a perverted mind essentially reenacting a fantasy of having sex with oneself as though the act will imbue a form of immortality.

Pubescence to excrescence and back in an endless cycle of seminal birth and decay.

In a schitzophrenic sense; narcissism is at the heart of homosexuality.
