UK pedo caught by DSi. Confesses to sex (multiple times) with girl (9-11), Gets 3.5 years. Wat.

[tstorm823]

I thought it was practically impossible to be surrupticious with a DS? The camera sound is stuck on... and is quite obvious! So the bloke was a peado and an idiot!?

Correct, you cannot turn the camera sound off... unless you turn the system sound off. I'm willing to bet she did that.

....What happened to the good old days when we use to Hang these mother fuckers?

That stopped about the time lynch mobs and vigilantly justice was outlawed. Of course there is always some r-tard who wants those 'good old days' back again.

O/T: the saddest thing here is that the girl had to put up with years of abuse and was not believed until she had photographic evidence, shame on the mother.

As far as the sentence. He is on the sex offenders register 'indefinitely' now according to the original article. If he is made to ware a GPS tracker which allows police to monitor him 25 x 7 and have allowed perimeters set so he can only go certain places (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2012955/Chav-Nav--Thats-police-new-tags-follow-crooks-using-satellite-technology.html), that will help. Otherwise I really don't think you can reform people with an attraction to children, in the same way you cannot reform people who are homosexual. I will never be alight with killing people, but maybe a child molester island might be a solution... I don't know.

 

[Michael Nicolayeff]

Sure, what he did was bad. But hey, at least he didn't upload any copyrighted songs! It's amazing where legal systems place their values.

 

[Yuno Gasai]

This is horrible.
And sadly its not terribly unusual either.

I just hope this girl is getting the support she needs.

This. It's all too easy to focus on the perpetrator and to forget that victims need support, support they aren't always provided with.

I'm not one to suggest morbid and in some cases inhumane punishments, but he should certainly be serving more than 3.5 years.

It was insanely brave of the girl to come forward, though.

 

[Jadak]

"[The victim's] quick thinking in using her games console to take a photograph of him touching her," said a police representative,

Quick thinking? This had been going for 2 years before she took the picture...

Wouldn't hold it against the girl as really, what can you expect from a 9-11 year being abused by a grown man, and the means to take a picture at all might have been a fairly new development for her... But quick thinking it was not, cop's a moron.

 

[DudeistBelieve]

Oh for fuck's sake. Yes, it's a pathetically short sentence. But you know what?

Bloody Hell, this is a complete f**king travesty of justice. He needs to be castrated, painfully.

Dude needs to suffer more than two "offences of assault by penetration" while he's doing time.

hopefully he has an "accident" while in prison, and his life slowly ebbs from his rotting corpse.

Should have chopped his hand off then threw him behind bars.

....What happened to the good old days when we use to Hang these mother fuckers?

So lets ignore the fact that pedophilia actually isn't the result of demonic possession, it's a psychological malfunction that can probably be "fixed" with enough effort. And even if he HAD done this just because he's a terrible person who likes making others suffer, how exactly does horribly killing him make the world SUCH a better place then if we just toss him in a cell for the rest of his life? Oh, and then there's this:

Apparently no-one here has the ability to read secondary sources, because they alone have said that the abuser has borderline learning disabilities, and is getting a whole lot of treatment that goes far beyond 3.5 years.

You don't need to go to jail for hundreds of years to have effective punishment/rehabilitation.

Put in bold to get people's attention. Not that it'll help.

Dude they can be "fixed" about as much a gay guy can be "cured" of his homosexuality.

Don't fuck a kid. Don't have child pornography. There is hentai, there are fleshlights, I really don't think those two rules are really that hard to avoid breaking.

(2) Because of enjoying anime, I am fine with raping children

Well, it actually may surprise you to learn that I am not fine with raping children. In fact, I am unfine with raping children.

That's not the issue here. Many animes (plural?) depict children in a highly sexual and unrealistic manner, and those who watch it can (most people never do) come under the illusion that this false depiction is how children are in real life.

Thus, they see these children in these animes doing... anime things and come up with ideas that are completely false, in this case the idea that prepubescent children are perfectly capable of consenting to sex. That is not the case.

I'm sorry, but when I see someone with an anime avatar (depicting a child no less) defending pedophilia on a message board, I'm going to make assumptions based on prior experience.

Not this again. First the avatar is a 'cute' version of Lelouch of Code Geass who is not a child. So shows what you know.

Second they are FUCKING CARTOONS. They cause no change to what you think real world versions are going to do because it's not real. The same way I don't expect animals to be able to talk because they do in cartoons. Or coyotes being able to build acme devices to catch road runners. Or that cartoon characters can survive horrible injuries and falls does. Just because a cartoon character can survive a fall off a many story does not make me think I can. This difference is readily apparent to even my 3 year old sister, who can recognise fact from fiction.

The only change that might happen is in brains that are already screwed up, the same as happens with people blaming violence in videogames because some nut job says they were his inspiration for a crime. Stopping all media that might set off nut jobs, will mean we have nothing to watch or play.

And you know the biggest thing giving people the impression that people under the age of consent can be sexual. It's not anime or other depictions, but that they are dropping sprogs all over the place. UK the teen pregnancy capital of Europe.

Can never understand why a site populated by gamers find it hard to understand that things that are not real don't have an effect on perception of the real world. Or are you one of those that think video gamers are 'murder simulators' as most of the media do?

 

[Ddgafd]

This thread is Wonderland and half the posters are the Queen of Hearts. OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

Anyway, people demanding this man to die are wrong. There is nothing to be gained from killing him, other than some sort of weird satisfaction, which would make you just as much of a sociopath as this guy. The dude admitted to having problems, plead guilty and chose to go to rehabilitation and yet you still want him to die? AND you call it justice? The world isn't a comic book, there's proceedings and protocol. You can wish he'll die as much as you want. In the end, you'll just be screaming at a brick wall.

 

[axlryder]

You know, I don't see what the problem is here. He's going to jail for 3+ years and the girl has got a DSi, I don't think he's got a DSi, and if he did he won't be allowed to take it with him. He got the shit end of the stick for sure.

I think in prison they only let you have a Game Gear with only one set of batteries, poor guy.

eh, you could probably make a shank out of it. One set of batteries basically makes it a brick after all.

 

[Jadak]

Don't fuck a kid. Don't have child pornography. There is hentai, there are fleshlights, I really don't think those two rules are really that hard to avoid breaking.

This, I'm plenty accepting of the fact that pedophiles may not be evil people and can't control what get's them aroused, but that doesn't in any way excuse actually acting upon it anymore than it would a straight guy raping some woman.

In other words, you can have whatever mental fuckups you want, but unless they're of the sort that prevent you from recognizing that you shouldn't be doing what you're doing, you don't have an excuse for doing it. Wanting to do it? fine. Doing it? No.

 

[JCBFGD]

Justice hasn't been served. Justice would be him castrated and tortured by his fellow inmates, before his time on death row is up.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

And people say video games are bad for children. Hah.

But yeah, 3 and a half years is way too lenient a punishment for child molesting. Again, I pretty much operate by an ?eye for an eye? justice system, so I believe he should be castrated and then raped himself, whether or not by other prisoners. It?d be the most approximate revenge for such a traumatic offence as this, and I don?t care if it ?makes me as bad as them?.

Because you know the most that?ll happen to this guy? Yeah, he might get beaten up in prison, but he still gets to live out the rest of his days without having to care about bills, getting three meals a day, TV and internet. He might even get out on ?good behaviour?, although it baffles me as to why the prison would even let them do otherwise, and then he?d get a new identity. Same can?t be said for the victim.

 

[Halfstache]

meh I agree but by that same logic all morals, societal norms and thus all laws are arbitrary too... sometimes they are for the better and sometimes not... just because something is arbitrary doesn't mean it can't serve a useful purpose.. if we labeled everything that is arbitrary as pointless and ignored it society would simply cease to exist in any useful form as they are the only things holding us back from complete anarchy

Indeed, all morals, societal norms and laws are arbitrary; however, removing them would not cause complete anarchy because it is human nature to latch onto someone stronger than them. Were all of society to collapse, it would simply reform into a different society with a different set of morals and laws. Perhaps that new society would be more understanding of people with "mental illness", perhaps not, but I suppose we're getting off topic. My reason behind my dislike for labeling things as a mental illness is it implies there is something fundamentally wrong with the person, simply for thinking differently from everyone else. There is nothing wrong with having a different set of morals, or even no morals at all. Of course, it would still be foolish in the highest degree to act upon your morals when doing so would be against the law. Some people draw the short stick in life and have to live a lie in order to get by.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

Ah, you've got to love the sensationalism that gets spurred on by anything pertaining to peadophilia and how vindictive people get over the actions of someone they haven't and will never come into contact with. Okay, while I trust the demagogic reporting of The Daily Mail about as far as can throw the collective weight of News International's global Headquarters and while I'm likely not getting the full picture here on this guy's history and mental stability I admit on the surface of things a 3.5 year sentence seems pretty lenient. But that doesn't instill me with the haughty moral indignation to want to personally flay the fucker to death with a machete while simultaneously making him choke on his castrated genitals. Seems in these kind of situations people seem to get justice and grisly vengeance a tad conflated; as though if someone commits a severe or repugnant enough crime it's perfectly okay to throw them to wolves rather do the very thing the justice/prison system is supposed to; rehabilitate them. Even if were offered a more palatable sentence, say 10-15 years for his crime I just know there would still be people here, people with no connection or investment to this case, espousing this vigilante justice mentality; 'Not good enough! Slaughter the sick fuck! He is unworthy of life! KILL HIM! KILL HIM DEAD!' ironically often enough, probably the same kind of people who think the political left let their emotions cloud their judgement and I really do wonder why. I mean once they've got a suitable sentence, they serve their time, then that's it, from that point who cares what happens to them, whether they live or die, it's not like you have to see them, speak to them, forgive them or even acknowledge their existence from that point forth. They've suffered for what they've done and their going to have that stigma bearing down on them for the rest of life no matter how much they change and better themselves over time. No matter how much someone disgusts you for what they've done, they still deserve the oppourtunity to atone, nobody goes into a shit hole like that and festers there for 10 years and comes out exactly the same, people learn, they change and they and grow, they should at least have that chance to prove themselves responsible enough to be reintroduced into society. Otherwise me may as well not even have a fucking justice system or correctional facilities if we can't even abide by the core principles for thier existence, which you'd think would be something fairly self-evident, but it's sad to see how many people get swept up in the lynch mob mentality when something of this nature arises.

 

[Terminate421]

And people laugh at our justice. We may be inconsistent but at least we shut out pedophiles

 

[Berithil]

3 1/2 years? What!? That's ridiculous! He should get more like 50 years, along with some other not so decent punishments. The fact that he's a family friend makes it all the worse. Sorry, I'm usually a tolerant person, but this is one of the things I just can't stand. There's a special circle in hell for these kind of people, along with those who torture animals and people who talk in the movie theater*
