It's gross and horrible and all, but that kid is an idiot. Considering all that has gone on recently and in the recent past with pedophiles, you would think he would have some kind of clue that this was stupid.
By the way, thank you Krakyn for getting suspended making the jokes about this so I didn't have to.

Wow. I used to think the Escapist's members were some of the most liberal people on the internet, but find one example of a youth who uses a right we all assume he doesn't have (the right to be naked and/or show other people) and suddenly it's DEATH PENALTY TIME.
Seriously people, yes the guy took advantage of the kid, but just because the guy is a sleeze ball doesn't mean the kid didn't take off his own clothes and take his own pictures. People who act like youth makes someone into a mindless victim are patronizing at best. The guy's crime is to talk a kid into doing something stupid to please the adult's fetish, but that simply does not equate to rape. The psychological impact involved is entirely different and shouldn't simply be assumed to be the same because it makes you feel better to think of the kid as a helpless beaten and abused puppy.
People like him have always existed and always will. This is a failure on the part of the parents for not teaching their child properly, and a failure on the part of the public, yes that includes most of you, for overreacting. It's bad but it's not the kind of earth shattering destruction you guys seem to think it is.

At least it isn't a physical abuse case and the kid can't be that traumatized since he pretty much agreed to it, until he grows up and realized what he did.
A pervert using online interactions to get his fix of little kids privates, nothing new, but still sick. Somebody's going to be the next shower *****.
There's some really bizarre equivalency going on here with some of you people thinking that there's no real difference between a ten year old taking his clothes off for money at the request of an adult and the actions of that adult enticing him to do so. There's a reason we differentiate between adults and minors, and in this case, it isn't even a close call.
Kids do dumb things. Really, really dumb things. So do adults, but most Western societies choose to have some pretty strict lines separating one from the other, for some pretty well established reasons. Do you think that children should be held to the exact same standards as adults? Should there be no age of consent?
Yes, screaming for this guy's head on a pike is overblown, and our laws definitely don't support that, either, and at worst he's going to be found to be contributing to the delinquency of a minor or possibly drawn up on possession of child pornography for having the pictures provided, none of which comes close to meriting the death penalty in the United States.
Still, we generally don't prosecute the people that the laws are designed to protect, and thus somehow punishing this kid through the legal system would make absolutely no sense.

I just love some of the pricks on here who think the guy did nothing wrong...convincing a kid to send you nude photos is such a great idea...people that think like that are the reason the bastard who not only raped me and my best friend but sold photos and pictures of it then laughed and mocked us and our families about it, got away with what he did...the victim was a kid...a fucking kid...and if I were his parents the fucker wouldn't be in jail he'd be six foot under after being force fed his own intestines...if he weren't in jail now I'd be in florida just that to the ************.
What it is with all these people coming out of Florida or Louisiana? Is there something about the semi-tropical weather that causes their brains to leak out of their ears?
I'm all for this guy going away for a few good years of prison, but I couldn't help but think of the countless "kids" who shout obscenities and derogatory/sexist/racist comments as if asking for the time or weather over these kinds of connections.
Or the fact that they're playing a game meant for mature audiences... I'm just sayin'.

Exactly! I'm sure he'll make a great ***** in prison! Or... y'know, at least a punching bag.Mullahgrrl said:
Well I think we can all find comfort in the fact that paedophiles do not do well in prison. Once word gets around about what he did, he'll be subject to some victimisation of his own.
Probably since it's REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HOT down there. Aside from making a person ill or lightheaded, it can make someone go crazy if their central air, or air conditioner is brokengeldonyetich said:
