Feds bust 72 users of a child porn forum.

[Fuselage]

A Members-Only forum known as "Dreamboard" was investigated by the Department of Justice who then caught
72 users of this forum board. The board was strictly policed by admins who made rules which included:

They included the following: "Keep the girls under 13, in fact, I really need to see 12 or younger to know your a brother," and "Don't avoid nudity in previews. I will NOT accept you, if theres no nudity."

In addition, the most exclusive area of the site was reserved for members who could provide content that showed children suffering. "If the girl looks totally comfortable, she's not in distress, it does NOT belong I this section."

Members were also segregated according to the degree of original content that they provided, or the degree to which the administrators trusted them. Classifications included "Super VIP," "VIP," and "Member." According to one user's guilty plea, the "SuperVIP" level was reserved for those members actually "producing child pornography and posting homemade child pornography to the bulletin board."

The Federales have released various indictments:

Here are several indictments that illustrate what the feds were able to uncover:

69. On or about the 4th day of June, 2010, MICHAEL THOMAS BIGGS aka tommyleejones did knowingly publish on the Dreamboard Internet Bulletin Board an advertisement offering to distribute the file entitled Red07.avi, which contained child pornography.

76. On or about the 26th day of May, 2010, CHARLES CHRISTIAN a.k.a. NLN did knowingly publish on the Dreamboard Internet Bulletin Board an advertisement offering to distribute the file entitled Lolita sex party, which contained child pornography.

"Dreamboard members also encouraged the use of encryption programs on their computers, which password-protect computer files to prevent law enforcement from accessing them in the event of a court-authorized search," Holder's announcement said today.

Some of the file names mentioned in the indictment make no secret of the content, however, among them a file named "Keito_11-12_y.o._Japanese_boy_with_man."

13 Out of 72 individuals have pleaded guilty and have been sentenced to prison terms as long as 30 years, serves the bastards right.

Seriously if you do something to harm a child there is something absolutely wrong with you. I'm glad they were brought to justice.

 

[DJDarque]

These people are some of the worst kinds of people in the world. I'm glad they got busted, and I hope they all serve the full extent of their sentences.

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

So this forum had at least 72 members? how in the world do these people manage to keep such a thing secret? i just dont get how a pedophile could find another pedophile without getting caught. Maybe they meet in jail...

72, thats all good and everything, but I hate to be the downer here... thats nothing, the FBI seem like their really not holding their own.

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

Is there some sentence in which they can get lit on fire?
Then left to burn out in some deep dark hole somewhere so that they can never escape.
Then eaten by a pig.

Honestly, i'm so glad these sick bastards got caught, today is a good day for justice.

hey, 72 sick bastards being put away is no bad thing..

 

[whtkid6969]

72 more scum bags that deserve the unmarked prision grave. Good job men, now go out and get some more of the bastards.

 

[BaronUberstein]

Lock em up and throw away the key.


Is there any way we can legalize hitting them with hammer in the nuts every time they have a sick thought?

It doesn't help that more than half the FBI's budget is spent on exciting "national security" stuff, instead of dealing with boring crimes that actually happen in vast numbers. It doesn't jsut affect child abuse (apparently it's estimated that 300,000 kids are at risk in the US), apparently the Mafia are enjoying the post-911 priorities.

This is not justifing pedo's.
What about the ones who are activily doing... you know. Those fuckers I want dead. People say, pedo's who use internet child porn, use it as a coping mechanism. So they don't go out and do what they do. I'm not saying child porn is justified, due to the ones being taped... What I'm saying is target the active pedos first who do serious harm, then go after the perves!

Some thrid world countries chemically castrate pedos, to be honest, its a pretty good idea. Drastic, but hell, no more repeat offenders!

 

[NathLines]

72 people arrested... I want to make a joke without offending anybody but I don't want to receive hate...

Gotta catch 'em all?

Thats what I'm trying to say. There has to be some online interpol, if you will. Policing nasty crap like this. America, yes is 'bad', but eastern europe is nothing compared to the States.

I'm not sure of the effectiveness of that. Does removing the desire/ability to have sexual intercourse remove the desire/ability to cause harm to children?

 

[Sonicron]

One of the uglier sides to humanity, to be sure.
Anyway, yes, as many will rightly point out 72 is next to nothing considering that this is a global problem, but I still congratulate the Feds on a job well done; after all, every little bit helps, and at the very least a few children will not have to suffer at those bastards' hands.

Yes there is a difference between sadists n' pedo's. Sometimes they overlap. Some pedo's are basically attracted to kids. If you castrate them, then all their sexual drive is gone, so they have no sex drive and no attraction to anything. Child sadists can pretty much get the death penalty in my opnion. Happy now, no repeat offenders if do that.
