He said "nudie self-shots of teens on the interwebz." not at all the same thing (aside from the law at least). Any more back story FFS?
Back story added to the OP for clarification.
I'm assuming he was searching for shit like "preteen nudes" or something similar? Or was searching for jailbait shit and then found questionably aged pics of girls? I'm no lawyer but I would imagine directly searching for underage porn versus stumbling across it makes a big difference
Given his sexuality and what he had, I'd assume something like "teen boys" or "nude boys", which I'm sure has to be one of the dumbest search terms to ever enter into a P2P program expecting late-teen results. lol
It seems like either
1) he was looking at a bit more than "nudie self shots"
or
2) he'd been looking at a metric fuckton of "nudie self shots"
to get the interest of a prosecutor.
Doesn't seem like they'd go after someone over just a few .jpgs.
At any rate, I doubt there's much you can do to prepare him for prison other than the last few minutes of the 25th hour:
25th Hour-You all came so close to never happening-ending - YouTube
He would have been fine if he were just looking, or streaming content, shit like that. But he used a P2P program and thus eventually got scanned by one of many agents. He wasn't targeted, just stupid and not quite lucky that day.
Also, been meaning to watch that movie with him, as he hasn't seen it. I'm gonna download it now so I don't forget.
I have a friend who did like 3.5 years for sexual assault on a minor. It was bogus shit like your friend is going through, he was finger banging a girl he thought was 18+ (met her at a club) turns out she was 15 and he was 26 i think. Father found out about it and she turned on him saying he got her drunk at the bar then took her home etc. It was he said vs she said situation and he lost.
This is the stuff he's told me from our numerous conversations:
1. If he has a vice, quit now. Don't smoke, don't do drugs, don't drink etc. It's a sure way to get in debt.
2. Don't trust any one. If you get beat up then someone offers protection, it's the dood who offers protection that had someone beat you up.
3. Try to get a job while inside. It makes the time go quicker.
4. Don't be disresectful and don't take disrespect. You don't have to shank a guy cause he stepped on your shoes, but if someone steps on your shoes don't turn around and apologize to him.
5. Get a full medical, dental cleaning, etc etc before he goes in. The medical care on the inside is terrible.
He doesn't need to tell anyone what his crime was. My friend said he told a few people the story of what happened and he was never targeted as a child molester. The people who are targeted are either involved in famous crimes or they brag to people like their cell mate about the crimes they've done. If he's a normal guy and holds his own, no one is going to single him out because he looked at 16 year old girls on the internet. This is in Canada, I don't know where you are - could be different there.
Last but not least if his lawyer isn't competent he should fire him. You don't want to spend 8 years in federal prison because your lawyer wasn't experienced.
Awesome. This is the kind of stuff I am looking for. When I was younger I was an idiot and did a lot of dumb/bad shit with friends. I got lucky and escaped prison, but some of them went on to do some time in State, so I've been trying to get some advice from them as well, but from my understanding, State and Federal can be quite different.
Also, as for the lawyer, I do agree, but he has no money left, and I think he's still in better hands with who he has currently, rather than a public defender. Then again, it's a crap shoot. Sometimes you get a PD fresh out of law school, and sometimes you get a well-seasoned attorney that likes to offer his services periodically.
1) Your friend should watch a shit load of OZ to get himself ready.
2) Learn how to make weapons from common house hold items.
He is actually quite good at this, as we have always fucked around with a lot of weapon/tactical shit for fun, and he was on his way to to Spec. Forces before his injury. That being said, he is a very fit guy, but naturally quite small (6' and maybe 145-150 lbs). I've been trying to brush him up on things like reactive defense and counter-attack, and will continue to do so until he goes.
sounds like he got busted for jerking his dick raw to that honeypot named motherless
lol
What's the fucking deal with that site anyways? I've heard rumors around the web that it's actually a FED site, but then I've never seen anyone busted in relation to it.
I've been over THOUSANDS of cases lately, most from the last 4 years or so, and everyone that gets busted either did something stupid IRL (like touch a kid, or leave a thumb drive somewhere, etc) or got busted sharing/submitting/P2P files. I've yet to read a case where someone was busted for looking at something, especially in regards to streaming and not saving/storing the file.
I hope he doesn't have a family because a friend of mine's husband (we were in the church band growing up too, but I never liked the guy) is going to "club fed" for the same thing plus lewd and lascivious acts (he was fondling and sexting as the girl's youth pastor) and it's been devastating for her and the kids.
No offense, but fuck your friend; they don't just prosecute anyone who randomly came across that kiddie porn picture that someone posted on 4chan. He's going to do real well in prison, he'll never feel alone.
Oh, and never been in an American prison.
No family in that sense.
Not that it will matter much, but I did add clarification to the OP regarding what he did.
You can't punish them all the same way, I mean it's way worse if the kid is forced into it and held against their will and stripped of their innocence like traditional cheese pizza, but if it's self shots then their innocence is already gone and they aren't forced into anything. My girlfriend sent me nudies when we were in high school, should I be in federal prison? (that's of course different than searching for underage shit on the web, that's more shady)
But there's probably more to the story, he probably did some real questionable searches and they flagged him and tracked him for a while to build a case. Honestly, I would get some plastic surgery and make a break for mexico to live my life as a drifter who solves mysteries out of a van, what is there to lose at this point?
I tried to go further into detail in the OP, so go back up and read the edit I added.
And I actually considered this. (I'm making this all up, in case any LE agency is curious
)
Identification isn't expensive, and I found a few ways out of the country, and even looked into extradition treaties for numerous countries, as well as how they treat what would essentially be illegals. He could run, but the problem is he could never stop, and if, say in 20 years, did get caught, he would still have to do the time.
