[US, New York] Father gets 250 years Sentence over child exploitation

[AeneasBK]

My my, you're making me blush over here.

: ^)

250 years is way too much for this crime. Clearly he is a disturbed, manipulative piece of shit. But the only crime he committed was coercion. I don't think coercion carries a 250 year sentence.

AS far as I can tell, he's been found guilty of several seperate charges (something soliciting a child to produce child pornography something) due to the ongoing nature of the abuse so totally each individual charge could net a maximum of 250 years.

How much will his time in jail cost the state? I'm genuinely curious.

Assuming 130$ a day and a 45 years till he passes ~$2.14 million.

Even if that's the case, I still can't see this sentence being justified. He could have outright raped her and walked away with a fraction of the sentence. Laws need to be careful not to provide incentives for more destructive criminal activity.

This is basically just an abusive relationship, just involving a minor. I don't even think people are charged in relationships that are considered abusive because harm is difficult to prove (unless there's physical violence). All I see here is another gut reaction to criminal activity involving a minor. This doesn't strike me as justice.

If he had been middle eastern he would have gotten away with it.

You're kidding right? Long beyond the 80 year point, it becomes a pointless number that has zero meaning.

He's been convicted on multiple charges. Now let's say he appeals and actually manages to get some of those convictions overturned-- but he would still be on the hook for what will probably amount to a life sentence. That's the point of these sentences that are much, much longer than the average human lifespan.

[Hiricine]

The same people who advocate for throwing the book at this guy, cheering on as the bailiff drags him away for multiple life sentences would, in many cases, be the same who defend the "just down on his luck" guy who robs 12 different stores and gets 30 years in prison.

That being said they would both need to be put away just to protect society from them.

Why 250 years, life without parole not good enough? :P

Just what all of the charges add up to. Goes to show you how sick his acts were.

It needs a special kind of logic to think adding up sentencings like this makes any kind of sense. It basically tells criminals "if you did this many minor crimes any more won't matter, you won't notice any difference anyway".

Mostly it shows that everything after he got to 60 years or something is free of charge because he won't notice a difference anyway.

Minor crimes are not usually the ones that come with jail sentences of multiple years/decades.

[ItachiZaku]

Sounds about right. All murderers/pedos/rapists should get that kind of sentence.

Sounds fine to me! Throw him away, never let him out!

[Noradin]

Not that kind of minor, "minor" in the sense of "none among them is an automatic death sentence".

After she managed to break things off, the girl received a message from someone claiming to be the boy’s mother on his account, saying he committed suicide.

Holy crap!

Why should you get a discount on your sentencing for committing crime in bulk? This isn't Sam's Club.

I suppose that depends on where you live.

[Forgettable]

Who does that, seriously? Sick...

They shouldn't. That is the point. By just adding sentencings up like this they waive everything that exceeds the convict's exspected lifetime.

My browser doesn't trust the site the article is linked to so can't read. However, I think anyone that does anything sexual with a child, be it 2 or 14 or 16 or whatever age is the scum of the earth and deserves every second of prison time they are sentanced to. Maybe sometimes the courts word it wrong, like life without the possibility of parole would have sufficed here. Always makes me scratch my head when someone gets like 4 or 5 life sentances. What, they're ordered to live out their time in prison then die, and in their next life come back and live in prison until they die again, ect ect? Also think he should be thrown into general population, they don't like baby rapers or pedo in prison, he wouldn't last long.
