For, among other things, videoing naked boys in the shower and possession, attempted production and distribution of child porn.

Look, I’m not going to belabor this too much. I’m glad he’s going to jail. But 95 years? There are no allegations that he molested any of them, beyond the videotaping.
Contrast that with teachers given probation (if they’re women) for having sex with their underaged charges. Frankly, I think it’s a little bit nuts. Guys like this ought to be given time, too. Lots. But I have no idea what “attempted production of child porn” entails. Maybe trying to photoshop himself into images? That last guy, a State Department employee, faces a maximum of 20 due to his plea bargain. These people . . . should be put away forever.
Undoubtedly, these people are all sick individuals, but . . . call me old fashioned . . . it seems to me worse that there’s actual physical molestation involved. Watching ICE help put a guy away for 95 years, when they won’t even do their jobs enforcing immigration laws, seems to me perhaps a bit of overkill, Boy Scouts or no Boy Scouts, especially when you consider that teacher of fisting to 14-year-olds Kevin Jennings was specifically appointed to high educational office by this administration, a guy who eulogized Harry Hay, a big NAMBLA supporter.
Certainly, the vast majority of gay men are not pedophiles, but in cases such as this it’s absurd to argue that there’s no overlap. The Catholic pedophile priest scandal illustrates the problem rather well, but the MSM’s attempt to limit scrutiny to priests continues to fall apart as more predatory perverts with access to children come to light in secular institutions. How a public school teacher can abuse 20 girls over 25 years and not be caught until he’s officially retired with his pension seems to me mysterious. If the trial lawyers come out of the woodwork and begin banging the drum for victims to sue, where will it all end up? Public school systems across the nation are already deeply strapped by pension obligations. Will the MSM’s appetite for enormous punitive settlements continue to apply by way of sending a message when the sued are public school systems?
In the PC age, one of the problems with this 95-year sentence is that it can be construed as sending the message that it’s worse for adults in positions of trust to violate the privacy of youngsters in the service of homosexual urges than it is to entice or coerce them into actual heterosexual relations. And I, for one, am with the homosexuals in this particular case. The problem isn’t the glamorization of homosexuality per se, but the glamorization of sexuality at large among and about the youngsters, the normalization of a fixation with sex and sexuality among the easily confused, exploited, and abused. And the question has to be, who is most responsible for this irresponsibility?
The so-called liberal lives in the symbolic world, where the step from a target-like image on a map to the shooting in the head of a Congresswoman by a lunatic is an easy connection, but the continual representation of sexual behaviors among youngsters is merely a sign of the way things are, even though the youngsters who consume this dreck are titillated by it—the way that people who don’t get any are titillated by various other forms of pornography. On the other hand, adults who use computer simulations of warfare are potentially in violation, somehow, of the Geneva conventions, whereas Palestinian terrorists who create terror porn for youngsters are noble freedom fighters.
The manifest idiocy of liberal exaltation of symbolism above reality continues to plague us. Only someone who gives more credence to the machinations of the mind over the evidence of the world would suggest that a governmental body could be technically in recess but effectively not, by fiat. That, I would argue, is the definition of perversion and evidence of the emergence of thought crime as the ultimate offense against the state
