Parents destroyed son's $29,000 porn collection, he sues

[Anonymous]

Also, a grown man is having his parents deliver his stuff? Including his porn collection?

What an infantile idiot.

Depends on state law about abandoning property.

That’s what you think is wrong in this scenario? That the guy paid for his porn?

There's a lot wrong. Spending $30K on porn when you can't afford your own place is part of it.

With so much free porn available out there.

There's something more than awful about expecting your parents to move your porn for you. Is shame really such a lost concept?

I don't disagree with the dad's point (although I don't think porn as a whole is bad), but the parents really had no right to destroy his property.

I used to be fairly neutral on porn, but I've changed my thinking in recent years. Porn itself has evolved to showing alot of real violence against women, and the ease of access with it being available (for free, as others have pointed out) 24/7 from your phone can really impact someone's ability to maintain relationships in the real world. It's not good for men or women at this point.

Seriously, look at this guy. He couldn't afford to live on his own after his divorce, but he owned $30k worth of porn. And now he's willing to destroy his relationship with his parents over it, after they took him in, stored his things, and moved them for him. Odds are strong that it was a factor in his divorce as well. I know we're snickering and arguing the merits of his case here, but for this guy, his attachment to porn is wrecking his life.

This is actually a landlord and tenant dispute. I doubt the son signed any actual rental agreement. It's going to depend on the landlord's responsibilities. It would technically be abandoned property.

He might have a winnable case. The no written agreement is a big problem.

I see a lot of room for dispute over the “value” of said property. Porno guy says old makes it valuable. Others could argue old makes it worthless.

The article also says he moved out of his parents home due to a “domestic dispute” and that he previously got caught selling porn and that his dad had previously threatened to destroy his porn if he left it around.

Sounds like the ex wife dodged a bullet. I hope he’s already disinherited because if not, I’d disinherit him now!

if he left it behind and didn’t pay a storage fee, couldn’t they say it was abandoned property? Given this guys apparent addiction, I’d say they did him a favor and I hope the court agrees. What a slime ball.

Flabbergasting that he didn't box the porn and label it BOOKS.

I would like to see what $29,000 of porn looks like.
