Where is common sense???
What does the Keebler elf say?
Only government officials are allowed to engage in pedophilia.
Everybody knows that.
The law is the law, but I agree that it should also exercise a little discretion lest it become inflexible, absurd, and contemptible.
Change the laws then.
What ever happened to federalism? Why is the federal government involved in this?
“According to Cleveland.com, Marrero accidentally admitted his conduct while on the stand in federal court, testifying in defense of a roommate who was also facing child porn charges.”
There is something more to this.
Child pornography is obscene. This was an act between consisting adults. This was not child pornography. Perhaps the FBI should spend their time uncovering the many many many crimes of the Clintons and our Justice Department.
Never tick off the FBI...
As is usually the case, there is more to the story than we are seeing here in your little excerpt.
But in fine FReeper fashion; I’ll feign outrage about it.
“Harrumph Harrumph!”
Given this statement:
According to Cleveland.com, Marrero accidentally admitted his conduct while on the stand in federal court, testifying in defense of a roommate who was also facing child porn charges.
I would guess there was more going on than just taking “innocent” pictures of a girlfriend.
Our FBI is wasting time and resources on this stupidity when real threats exist?! Every agent involved should be fired!
Kind of surprised at least a few of the formerly respected FBI pukes were available to chase this idiocy instead of trying to frame President Trump for things Hillary Clinton did. Maybe they needed a distraction.
“This is insane. The FBI is completely out of control. And there’s nothing anyone can do about it. “
LOL. perhaps if you had read your article ...
“According to Cleveland.com, Marrero accidentally admitted his conduct while on the stand in federal court, testifying in defense of a roommate who was also facing child porn charges. (The article does not clarify whether the roommate’s alleged crimes were as farcical as Marrero’s, and it does not give the context of Marrero’s inadvertent confession.) As soon as Marrero had finished testifying, the feds arrested him.”
More to the story
First never take nude pictures, never take nude pictures of someone else, never take nude pictures of someone else who is under the age of 18, never admit to it on the stand as a witness on another child porn case.
This dude did a lot of wrong here.
I could see if she took a nude selfie of herself and sent it to him, but for him to be the producer, that is the fine line and he crossed it and admitted to it on the stand (sworn statement)
I have personal and documented knowledge of a half billion dollar pump and dump scam. Reported to the FBI, SEC, and my Senators.
Know what happened? Nothing.
The Deep State could not care less about us, but will take the time to wreck some kid. Pathetic.
Just saying, while many will disagree, there are many people who are biologically equipped by mother nature herself to be sexually active at 14 or 15 or 16 or 17. When King tut was alive the average lifespan was 14. In the year 1900, the average AMERICAN lifespan was 47. I know some of you out there say you were not interested in the opposite sex until you were 18, the reality is that you are VERY uncommon. And if you are literary, just read a few Jane Austin books. Clearly all her characters would be registering as sex offenders. Except for the older sister who always is a spinster at age 21 in every book. Brook Sheiled was quite nude at 12.
The reality is that sex is a bad idea. You can catch things. You are too young to have a relationship in your teens. The longer you can put it off the better. Your mom was right about that. But spending the next 60 years registering as a sex offender is not right either. They should just be grounded for a week. However if the guy was selling the picks as porn. You can let him rot in a cell.
Only Biden gets away with it.
I just learned last Month while serving on Jury Duty that in Texas you are Charged as an Adult at the age of 17 ...
BUT Females cannot Consent until 18. (?)
She’s 17? Three years difference in age? Sounds like a bit of a stretch.
