(Man) Jailed for life over (forcing) underage (girls to perform) cybersex

[preslove]

As long as all the charges are true, I don't have any issue with the sentences.

You have to remember, though, that this is a third world country that is very catholic, patriarchal, and anti-sex. Our criminal justice system, as flawed as it is, is orders of magnitude better than a place like the Philippines. Also, all pornography is outlawed and heavily taboo. I wonder if the girls were really forced, or if that's just the official story the authorities are using. I mean, you don't normally pay sex slaves. $350 month is decent money in the Philippines & I'm sure it would attract plenty of consenting girls.

This may be more of a "scare the jeeebus out of potential pornographers" thing, rather than a conviction of actual sex traffickers.

The question is what the swedes in their country if they caught some guys doing the same thing to their young girls?

Probably less severe. And I'd be more confident in the due process leading up to conviction.

Sounds like a case of using an old law to prosecute a crime new in nature that is not equal to the crime for which they are prosecuted under.

It's bad... sure... but were they physically pimping them out? or are we already going to consider text equal to action in real life?

Why do we need to deal with this life in prison bullshit and have them be a huge drain on resources. It has already been decided they are scum of some nature already to be sentenced to life in prison, why let them become more of a burden on the rest of society.

Don't even get me started on these people on death row that live another 20+ years before they are executed. The middle east is ass backwards in a lot of ways, but man they are light years ahead of us when it comes to this one particular thing. They sentence someone to death, they have up to 30 days before they are executed (granted we could extended a little be longer for appeals shit but still)

 

[PokerGuy]

Fail thread title is fail. They got what they deserved.

 

[D1gger]

Yes, they deserved life in prison, and yes the OP is an idiot for posting an inflamitory thread title before he even read the entire article.

 

[zinfamous]

This.

I was coming in to defend people using the internet as an outlet for deviant sexual fetishes. What I found was online pimping of children. Not the same thing.

this.

did you consult spidey in designing the thread title, OP?

it's more expensive to execute than it is to sentence life in prison.

Not being a smart ass here, so please don't think I am.

How? I can not understand how it would be more to execute someone shortly after then letting them live for decades till they die.

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

Due to the appeals process.

So either get rid of the appeals process, find a way to reduce the cost, or get rid of the death penalty. Unless of course we want to keep it around as way to "feel" justice is served.

yes, this.

KaOtiK-it's the legal process that makes this expensive. Though, I don't completely disagree with how difficult it is to execute someone. The last thing anyone wants to be responsible for is killing an innocent man--though that has certainly happened.

In the end, I'm not a supporter of the death penalty, though I do believe there are those people in this world that have forfeited their right to live based on acts that they have committed.

Thanks for the answer. Guess I shouldn't be surprised it is our slower then shit legal system.

Maybe we should just send all our lifers/death penalty inmates to some fair side deserted island, or Australia

In honor of how shitty this thread is, I propose a question:

Where did you take the biggest shit of your life?

Mine was in the Dominican Republic. I wish I could've taken a picture.

Seoul, South Korea in a mechanic shop's bathroom. The night before was filled with soju and kimchi jigae. It was one of those old fashioned asian toilets that look like a urinal in the ground. I got into a three point stance and let flow the angry fermented cabbage and alcohol lava.

might as well profit from it, too.

Create a private reserve where soulless, black-hearted fuckfaces like Dick(less) Cheney can get their jollies off:

probably in West Palm beach/Hollywood FL; I forget which.

Day after Big Cypress (Phish, 2000 Festival in the everglades), unloaded my bowels in a train depot toilet after 4 days of beer, meat, who-knows-what-I-smoked, and general hippy-like shenanigans. The portajohns at the festival, as you might suspect, were a no-go.

I personally vote for NZ.
