Worst Article 32 investigation I ever had to do was kiddie porn. You can’t unsee the depravity. One pic, “Stacy12”, still haunts me, as the probably 8 year old girl was staring straight into the camera with an utterly defeated look.
Special place in Hell.

My FBI friend said pretty much the same. Said they had to watch some of this stuff in order to know that the evil ones really did some of the horrible things. I believe the media is effectively complicit if they don’t expose these criminals.....and that includes the garbage who bring those poor kids across our border to be sold into sex slavery.
I would gladly pull the trigger, push the button, throw the switch or pull the lever...........................
How awful. God bless you for having to endure that. But, you had to, to bring justice for the victims. The Almighty will one day not only wipe away every tear, but will render His judgment on the unforgiven.
I gotta say, all of this is just bringing me down, and nothing seems to be getting done about it.
Yes, it cannot be unseen, and it literally destroys lives.
I sadly know more than a few people who were sexually molested and many the abuse started when they were very young.
Some sadly never escape the demons, others, manage to escape the worst, but are very “broken” people. Even if they appear functional to most, they have desires and needs that they cannot escape because of what was done to them, no matter how much they may desire not to have them.
When my beloved was on active duty he went to see a court martial. He didn’t know who it was for or what it was about; he just read it was happening and wanted more to see what the Court Martial process entailed.
He was shocked to see it was a MSGT from another shop, whom he had known in passing.
He was sickened by the charges. This guy had raped his own daughter. He elected to plead guilty rather than put his daughter through more hell. When he started to describe his actions to the judge my poor beloved had to leave the courtroom.
When he got back to his shop and told the guys about the court martial and details he heard they were all pretty much ready to be sick.
That was over 35 years ago and he still turns ashen talking about it. Never did find out the guy’s sentence, though he’s thinking the guy is still in a military prison.
