As long as people in authority continue to support the pornographic representation of children then the industry will continue to flourish.

If I were the presiding judge I'd have asked the perverted basturd** (under oath) how many times he jerked off to the images.

**misspelling intentional - filters, you know.

Seems to be a trend.

Just goes to show that "blind" justice is not the reality we'd like for it to be. If you have money or influence, the laws magically bend in ways they never would for the rest of us. I think kiddie porn is one of the most despicable things out there. It makes me sick to think of someone in a position of authority such as a judge getting let off on it.
