Regardless of his OTHER convictions (which he received seperate sentances for) he was convicted purely of the above. This conviction was pure censorship, in my opinion. Would they have bothered to bring charges against him if he hadn't had "real" child porn? I don't know, but the discussion we're having about whether or not this should be illegal is still just as valid, I think. It's one thing to have a law on the books that people will only use in certain situations NOW... 40 years down the road... who knows what people will use this law for. It is a BAD idea. |
Well I agree if he was convicted because of having cartoons depicting underage sex, it is wrong. He might be twisted, but having cartoons should not be illegal. However if the real pictures also played a part of the sentence (And I've heard both that they did and that they didn't), it doesn't seem to me like anything wrong is happening.
