Kiddie Porn Is Now Legal in New York, Says Gizmodo

Kiddie Porn Is Now Legal in New York.

It’s a technicality which makes viewing all the kiddie porn OK in New York State.  A pervert can be at it 24/7, and it’s no problem as long as he/she/it remembers not to willfully download it.

With respect to other acts, the courts wish to pass judgment based upon criminal INTENT.  Killing another human is graded this way in the legal system.  There is also the concept of hate crime,  in which the penalty can become more severe based upon external  guesses about how the perpetrator feels about the victim of the crime.

Oddly  Judge Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick reverses the trend of judicial mind reading.  This kiddie porn decision  protects those who accidentally make a wrong click when surfing the net from legal penalties, but it also protects the  perverts who habitually support  the criminal abuse of children.

The administrator of any kiddie porn site  could do the same to all his customers when he gets caught, in order to lessen his own sentence.  Since this “service” is so anonymous, it would be easy to do, with the least amount of consequence to his own safety.

The initial wave of arrests of this international ring  began with 182 members of the network, and 230 victims were rescued.  Thousands more arrests are  expected in the U.S., the Netherlands, the UK, Australia, Italy, Thailand and Canada.
