Yep. An ex-high school teacher in Arizona got 200 years in jail for possession of 20 images of child pornography. That's 10 years per piece.

According to the article, he's 51 now.

Arizona sentencing in these convictions is mandatory and the sentences must run consecutively.

So, 20 pics, 200 years. Excessive or justified? Why do you think so?
 
If people lived for 200 years I would think its a lil over done. I think its drasticaly over done. How long is a child molestors sentencing usualy for?
 
I think that is seriously excessive, but then again, what's the statistical correlation between looking at child porn and actually molesting a child? If this guy had a high probability of moving on to molest a child, then it's hard to condone giving him a sentence that would have him released in a few years.
 
I don't think it is enough.. I would not want some piece of shit with pictures of my children.
 
I guess it depends on the level of obscenity of the porn. Some of that crap is really disgusting.

1 day is excessive and a waste. Get a rope.
 
That's a lotta time. Bright side, at least he didn't live in Singapore, Saudi, or Jonestown Guyana.

Could not agree more!
 
I have visited a few porn sites (this one included) and managed to end up on the master list of porn email.

I get shit in my email that covers all topics. I have filtered out most, but it would be easy to sneak email through my filters.

someone could email child porn with images and ytou wouldn't have to open it to have it on your hard drive. the whole thing scares the shit out of me.

So is your sig line.......what should the penalty for posessing an excessive sigline be.

What the fuck drives you people to have those low rent overdone deals anyways.....:confused:

Do you actually think anyone reads it?

pffft!
 
what kind of "kiddie porn" was it? little kids or just slightly underage?

i've been bored lately
 
The whole issue of defining pornography troubles me, since it's highly subjective, but the length of sentencing seems excessive. I don't know any specifics of the case, other than what the article stated.

I had sex with a minor once. Many times, actually. I was seventeen, same as her. I took her pictures, too. When I turned 18, I was guilty of possessing child porn? I have difficulty understanding what is sensible about such arbitrary definitions. Of course I think the sexual exploitation of children is a horrible crime, but we live in a country where plenty of kids in middle school are having sex.

To compare sentencing, my GF was on a jury where a guy shot an unarmed man 8 times in the face. Five years in jail, and he's out walking around today. Somebody explain it to me.

This is why I use a free webbased email like hotmail or yahoo. Those images are stored on their server until you open the email.

You shouldn't use your ISP email address for things beyond family, close friends, and business.

I use killermuffin@kissmyass.com when I site I'm not sure I trust wants my email address :)

I do the same now, having learned the hard way.
