Man Convicted Under U.S. Sex Tourism Law

[Busyman]

Depends on what you mean by 'loads of drugs',there are people being charged with 'intent to distribute' who've been caught with 2-3 ounces of pot...when I smoked it I'd buy it by the pound for my own consumption..

I don't know what the poundage is nowadays for intent to distribute but it's probably bullshit too.

I agree with Busyman. It's one thing to do jail time for a crime you have done, but it's a totally seperate incident when it's based on intention.

With that, they could arrest anyone for the intention of anything. It's like a legal loophole. Can't get you for one thing, so they use the fallback position and do you for intention of something or another.

Is bringing 100 pounds of chocolate illegal?

The guy had child pornography, 100 pounds of chocolate and had exchanged sexually explicit letters with young girls and we should just slap him on the writs? Come on B your being naïve you know damn good in well what he was on his way to do. This guy is a monster and needs to be locked up with the key thrown away.

You are generalizing. Don't be coy about me being naivete. I could say "you know Bush wasn't in Iraq to 'free the Iraqi people.....Come on."

You don't go from, "He had 100 pounds of chocolate" to "We all know what he was going to do."

We agree that he should be locked but should he be locked up?

He won't get a slap on the wrist due to the child pornography.

Ok B in your opinion what should we do with him?

Arrest him for possession of child pornography.

As he is 86 and in a wheelchair - it might be advisable to charge him with crimes that are easy to prove and not subject to lengthy appeal processes. As it is, any custodial sentence is liable to turn into free nursing care anytime soon.

Arrest him for possession of child pornography.

That's it? Even after admitting to “sexually educating” young girls?

[freak]

I agree with Busyman... Bust him for having child porn... You could even bust him on the previouis offenses but the Intent thing is total crap!

If I go into a police station and "admit" to educating young girls in Britain, I wouldn't be convicted of anything," should I?
