What this guy apparently repeated paid for...little girls ( pre-teen ? ) crying that they did not want to be raped, then getting repeated raped by adults for money on the video , etc. is beyond words.
He is lucky to not get life in prison.
This is not about his civil liberities but about the child victims.
IMO.
I'm not so concerned about his civil liberties, rather than our civil liberties. This guy is a steaming pile of dung. I just get nervous when the government jails people in general, not specifically in this case, for looking at dirty pictures. I see the need to get rid of freaks like this guy, and I can also see the need to keep the government in check, and I can also see the need to protect young folks from harm. I suppose it is all about the proper boundaries for a free society.
ACLU founder and longtime executive director Roger Baldwin’s infamous quote
“I am for socialism, disarmament and ultimately for abolishing the state itself as an instrument of violence and compulsion. I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and sole control by those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.”
