+1 He worked for an organization that the SPLC classified as a hate group, promoting hateful policies. Politics certainly figure in here. |
Tell me about it. I prosecuted a child porn case - just one - and I still have never gotten over the evidence I had to review. I won’t even describe it to you because it would rip your souls to shreds, too. Worst thing was the victim in one series of photos was a doppelgänger for my beloved little freckle faced ginger haired niece when she was a toddler. I still have nightmares a decade later. And daymares. |
I honestly wish that the death penalty were applicable to child rapists like Duggar. To abuse a child, firstly, is monstrous. To abuse a child sexually, and damage that part of their soul and life for the rest of their lives is just beyond monstrous. |
DP. That would damage me for life. Seriously thank you for doing what you did. |
| Let’s reserve judgement on Anna. For all we know, she could be afraid that Josh would try to kill her if she left. Or hurt the children. |
He lost a civil lawsuit last year for real-estate fraud. My guess is that the same conduct was investigated for criminal charges and they subpoenaed his computer in connection with that investigation... and while examining his computer found the CP. |
Yes thank you PP. I’m just gutted that anyone has to do this job. It’s one of the greatest public services a person can give but because of the taboo we don’t even give the people who do it their due credit. |
| I'm betting Anna made an anonymous phone call to Homeland Security tip line to turn in her husband. It's a win-win. Her husband would be locked up, she will no longer be bound to him, the kids are protected, etc. |
I called it on page 1 of this thread. |
There were researchers who wanted to study pedophiles (the article I saw came out maybe a decade ago?) because there is some suspicion that this is something that arises in humans sometimes, and they suspect that there are more pedophiles out there, ones who do not offend. I believe the GOP shouted it down; imagine if they’d been able to glean some ways to identify pedophiles and prevent them from victimizing children. |
We really don’t know anything yet. She might have sent them one of his hard drives. |
| Sweet baby jesus would some Duggar family member please write a tell-all! |
Doubtful. If anyone did that it would have been Jill and would explain what the blow up was that distanced her from the rest of the family. |
| I doubt Anna turned him in, but I absolutely do not think we can assume Anna knew he had CP on his hard drive. |
Agree. I don’t doubt that JimBob has threatened her life |
