A Saucier, Miss., man whose computer had a child pornography IP address registered to someone else will still have to serve time, according to a report in The SunHerald. The sentence was a bifurcated one.
Circuit Court Judge Larry Bourgeois sentenced Keith Joseph Cuevas, 37, to a 10-year sentence but then suspended 6 ½ years of it, meaning Cuevas must serve 3 ½ years. Cuevas, who will not be eligible for early release, will then face five years of supervised probation and lifetime registration as a convicted sex offender, the paper reported.

As Billthedrill pointed out the most likely scenario is a home router. if that was the case (99% likely) then he had no choice but to use the same address as all of the other residents. That's because they all use the address of the router. That is the only address that can be traced. All the residents are assigned an internal address by the router, but that doesn't matter at all and it would not matter if he used an internal address of another resident, it would not change anything externally.
The 1% possibility is that there was no home router, and the provider assigned addresses to all the home users. But in that case he could have used an address from someone across town. It is very unlikely that they would mention the home users without it being the home router scenario.
The phrase "registered to someone else" simply means that the router did not belong to him and "registered" is the wrong term. The correct phrase would be "automatically assigned by the network to the router belonging to someone else which he got routed through along with the other residents"
I agree. He probably had a public defender who told him to plead guilty to one count and he would only get 3 1/2 years. Had he fought it he would have been sentenced to 10 years or more.
“pled guilty to one count of exploitation of a child.”
It is not a precedent is it?
So then if you own a rental house and your renter date rapes a girl you should go to jail for rape or at least as accessory.
Your logic is impeccable... (for the clueless among you the preceding statement would be sarcasm, the dripping variety)
The family of the woman who tried to challenge a D-9 and was flattened instead, sued Caterpillar inc. The law suit went nowhere
How about this instead. Capital punishment for child molesters. Capital punishment for anyone filming child molestation. Capital punishment for aggravated rape. Capital punishment for human trafficking. Use what little moral capital the US still has to make human trafficking and child pornography a thing of the past. Including all the Muslim countries that practices slavery without condemnation and outrage from "openminded" liberals.
“”Are cruise ships responsible for icebergs capsizing their ships? no””
yes, the ship-owner usually is. This is why ships have crews and insurance and stuff.
The ship itself is not liable I think, :p
Look at all the people who plead guilty to misdemeanor domestic violence charges and now wish the had not.
How did his computer have more than one IP address?
.
A key purpose and duty of ships' crews is to avoid collision -- with anything. Your last point is totally bogus.
Reads as though the plaintiff wasn't left with much to raise.
Maybe more than one? If the other resident had his own router with WIFI, it would be easy to use his IP address by logging onto to his WIFI. And it would be a thing one might try to cover their tracks.
Plausible except the perp would try to use a neighbor’s router if possible and typically there will be one modem (e.g. cable or DSL) and one wifi router attached to that.
