:-[after reading all these threads, viewing the news articles, talking to family, etc about this person. Firstly you should know that I do not agree with any kind of child pornography at all, nor do I make excuses for it... We should all know the whole facts about this incident before we throw the stone and get the tar out!!!!. Firstly, it was not kiddie Porn he was looking at , in fact it was actually adults,young girls,,( over the age of 19) in diapers, with bibs etc.. but the law states that any one accessing the internet and using young girls, and such words that specify child articles is known as child pornography. Secondly, not only does this mcpl have an outstanding career record in the military, but also within his families community. He has lots of nieces and nephews that he loves and would be trusted around them. Please don't judge the mcpl because he has to judge himself each and every day. He has paid his price in his career and in his community. He has suffered more than anyone would ever know. He has lost respect of his co-workers but gained love from his family and true friends. He has lived a hard life through his family history( violence and death) in the best way he can and has came out a stronger and a brave person. Not making excuses for mcpl but just seeing the other side. For those of you whom live in Glass Houses please dont throw the stones!!!!! We are all human and make mistakes, unfortunately, the news media made an example out of this ex-ordinary person. To you from me....
First off, what you are referring to is the fetish avenue often called "adult babies". IMO it is pretty creepy, and any man that wants to be diapered, soil himself and breast feed from an actual lactating woman still is not a credible bet to be around my kids.
Second, you cannot get a conviction for being in possession of child pornography in the absence of child pornography. If you had read the whole thread, I made the point that only the most obvious example of child porn are brought forward as evidence, and the sad guideline is if the subject clearly looks younger than 12 years old. A 21 year old model with pigtails and a soother obviously would not constitute child porn. I am pretty sure you never saw the case file, unless you happen to be one of the investigating officers, defense counsel or a prosecutor.
Since you appear to know this individual, or actually are the individual, then you would understand why someone might "spin" a story to gain support. Obviously he can't say there was nothing on the computer. However, that is a good story to put forward to minimize the culpability and potentially elicit some support from people who would like to hold a torch out, but just can't extend an olive branch to a kiddy diddler. Let me guess, stop me if you have heard this one: "I wasn't the only one that used that computer, and I took a hit for another guy", "my lawyer said they would drag this out forever and cost me everything I have so they would get me no matter what", "the computer was second hand, and they found a bunch of stuff from the previous owner", "I was up for promotion and they were downloading that stuff when I was on lunch/PT to take me out of the competition". Did you know that there are whole chat forums and support groups for child mollesters, including how to hide/scrub your hard drives, stories to tell your families if you get caught and methods of grooming children to be receptive to early sexual contact?
No doubt he had a good career. Lots of sick individuals are able to be very successful at their jobs. There are sociopaths among us that excel at what they do.
As far as the price he has paid? Loss of face? Shunned by the military family he rejected? BOO F*CKING HOO. What about the price the little exploited child sex slaves pay for entertaining sick dogs that get off on this stuff? At 14, they are burned out shells of humanity with completely skewed values and ideas as to what constitutes love and sexuality. Pretty much guaranteed teen prostitution, and death with a needle dangling in an alley.
But by all means, next pic nic you all have together send your kids on a "nature walk" alone with Master Corporal AB, since he is such a solid guy.
Denial is a warm, comforting blanket sometimes. I hope the cost of your personal comfort doesn't hurt someone around you.
