I never thought he was innocent, but I never guessed it was this bad and went this far.

Well, I’ll never listen to the song “Beat It” the same way ever again.

If it makes you feel any better, I am skeptical. I’m from Santa Barbara and I have family that worked for a long time in family law practices there, including with lawyers who have represented the “victims” as adults (for unrelated reasons). My understanding is that most people in the legal community don’t believe…

I used to think he was a damaged individual who may not have necessarily molested children but wanted a very inappropriate level of intimacy with them (which is not that much better) but now...ick.

I vacillate between anger and pity. This is a new level of horror I didn't think existed. I hope his family wasn't complicit. I hope his kids get all of the therapy. I hope his victims find peace.

A couple of things come to mind. 1) I would like water board every one of those parents that pimped out their kids. WTF is wrong with people. 2) how did they not prosicute this sick fuck for child porn? 3) please repeat #1. 4) please repeat #3 and #1.

Wonder why it’s just coming out now? This was found in ‘03, and the guy has been dead since ‘09.

You love Billie Jean and Thriller. It’s okay to admit it.

Definitely not stuff I needed in my head.

How do they just slide this into a Dirt Bag? I really believed the guy wasn’t a monster. Fuck this.

“Perverted positions” might not meet the legal definition of child pornography. It has to be “sexually suggestive,” and while “perverted” could mean that, it also could also mean imagery that’s unhealthy or depraved but not entirely sexual. I guess, anyway? Obviously he was a serious sicko.

Sympathy isn’t a zero sum game. I think it’s possible to feel bad for his victims, hope they have gotten help and also acknowledge that he was subjected to a bunch of really personality warping stuff.

so weird that this is coming out now.

Isn’t possession of child porn in itself a crime? Why wasn’t he arrested if the police found all that stuff?

Seriously. There are no words for how disgusting and inexcusable that is.

Right? I feel like I could have lived the rest of my life just not knowing that information at all. :-/

Yeah, really. Just because you can make something electronic doesn’t mean you should do so. I’m keeping my 2012 Honda Accord (no in-dash phone/computer, no reporting to Big Brother about where I am, no electronic whatnots,) as long as I can. I’m sure the emissions control system is pretty sophisticated, and the airbag…

And I’ll repeat, 600 inattentive drivers. The shifter is not difficult to use.

There’s still a regular parking brake. And the car has handy indicators that tell you what gear you’re in in two different locations. And you still have to physically move the shifter roughly the same distance as any other console shifter that I’ve used. The electronics aren’t failing people. It’s people being…

Seriously. If something is going to stop my car in the event of an emergency I want it to be analogue, not digital. I owned a Nissan 240SX once that had a rust hole in the fender well, one I did not notice. I did take notice when it rubbed through the metal brake line, causing all the brake fluid pressure to go away,…
