1600 before he's caught seems like the authorities share some responsibility for not catching this guy

[-] doppelgangmember@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well i mean not the first time agencies have been complicit in trafficking or endangering youths.

But the only way they found him was bc he was sharing CSAM online around 2013and the authorities were able to identify objects in the background that resembled his workplace. He was also reported in the past which eventually led them to search his house after the videos signaled it was him.

Still though, very fuked. And weird how there were no real follow-ups for like, what? Almost 10 years?

The first 1599 child rapes are free, anything beyond that is no bueno.

Men get arrested. Dogs get put down.

Opinion: Did not think this would ever be a headline. Why keep this level of pure evil alive at great expense and continued suffering to victims and society at large. Even the horrendous duty of police having to trawl through so much material is unthinkable.

Life imprisonment is actually cheaper than the death penalty, all things considered. See e.g. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/costs

Also more of a punishment, they don't like Rock Spiders/Pedophiles in Australian prisons anymore than they do in US prisons.

Or you can get free labor out of them like in America, try that first with the pedos!

/s but not really. Throw the book at all convicted pedos. One of the few cases i think a death penalty is excusable. When they for sure shouldn't be re-integrated into society. Utilitarianism. We're better off with this monster dead imo.

Australia doesn't have the death penalty

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
