[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He has to have done more than just "download" child porn. Disgusting yes, but not fed-worthy. At the very least he must have distributed, possibly made. [/quote]

CP is basically always fed charges. He is charged w/ 2 counts: receipt and possession. It means they can prove exactly how he got it & that he had it (both probably via his hard drive). There are no charges related to production or distribution. You are completely wrong if you think feds don't go after CP possession when it lands in their lap.[/quote]

My parents’ neighbor’s kid was caught with possession of child porn. It was handled at the district court. Guy is out living with his parents and working. He is on the offender list and that is it. Nothing more. It’s so sad. My parents are livid because now we always ALWAYS have to keep in an eye out for all of the grandkids when they visit. [/quote]

"District court" is the trial-level federal court, so that makes sense. (Some states also have district courts; different states organize their judiciary differently. Anyway, can't quite tell what you're trying to get at there.) There are reasons that feds would allow him to plea: evidentiary problems with the case (e.g., hard to prove it was him using the computer v his dad), legal problems with the search (some chance he could get it tossed); young/first time offender/single image or image file from a relatively innocuous search term (e.g., not apparently looking for CP but overcome by curiosity); mental illness; etc. Anyway, no idea what happened w/ your parents' neighbors, but this definitely doesn't mean that the feds don't take CP seriously.[/quote]
