- TheMachine1, on 08/03/2008, -7/+12719 months in jail for assaulting kids? The average pot user likely spends more time in jail for a dime bag. He should still be in jail.
- FairNUnBalanced, on 08/02/2008, -6/+106"Anyway, the moral of the story is that if you're an indicted pedaphile on the run, don't use American Express." lol
- Lucas123, on 08/03/2008, -5/+102Wow. A corporate lawyer AND a pedophile. Does it get any worse?
- BobSutan, on 08/03/2008, -5/+67But that would mean women are capable/culpable of sex crimes, and we can't have that. See also: teachers screwing their male students. How many have spent serious time in jail? Of that jail time, what was the fraction of what a male teacher would have gotten. 1/2? 1/4? 1/12?
- inactive, on 08/03/2008, -13/+60If American Express did this without a court order, screw them. Sue for billions. The fact that the guy is a child molester doesn't change the principle in play here.
I wonder if American Express would gladly turn over their records if the guy in question was a Muslim suspected of being a terrorist supporter. - EvilJelloMan, on 08/03/2008, -4/+48Not that you will get any accurate information from consumerist, but these kind of articles are the things the government uses to take away our civil liberties. Pedophilia and terrorism are the two great excuses - you can violate someone's privacy willy-nilly as long as they fall into one of those two categories.
Lest you people forget, when this guy was arrested, he was an ACCUSED pedophile, not a convicted one. Ever heard of the phrase "innocent until proven guilty in a court of law"? He has every right to ensure that his liberties were protected before his arrest. Now, if it turns out that what AmEx did was a violation of the law, then this guy has a damn good case to sue them. This ***** should be decided in a court, though, not by public opinion shouting OMGz HES A PEDO, HE HAS NO RIGHTS!!!111one! And if it turns out he's full of *****, the court will decide that, not some diggers with no clue about the facts.
How would YOU like it if someone hacked your computer, used it to distribute kiddie porn, and then you were arrested because a company handed over your personal information without a warrant? Would you like being branded as a pedophile in the media, and denied your civil liberties because of everyone's outrage? From what we can see, this guy probably did it, but that's not for us to decide. - notwkf, on 08/03/2008, -2/+45I wonder if she takes credit cards
- centure7, on 08/03/2008, -7/+49"We're not lawyers, but we're pretty sure convicted felons lose their right to moral indignation or the right to vote or something."
Where the @#$% in the constitution does it say convicted felons don't get any rights? I'm sorry but if losing your rights for life is a punishment, then the judge MUST spell it out as a punishment during the conviction. I've never heard a punishment handed down that says "oh and you lose your right to free speech as a punishment". Talk about cruel and unusual! Even the loss of a right to own a handgun makes no sense unless you've committed a violent crime!
PS - Even *terrible* people have a right to privacy unless a judge specifically says they don't get any privacy and the constitution supports that judges ruling. - BoneheadFarker, on 08/03/2008, -3/+43"How many have spent serious time in jail?"
It depends on what they look like. - richirwin, on 08/03/2008, -5/+43He "bribed" the mother to sleep with her daughters?
What the hell does that mean?!
He PAID her to sleep with her daughters.
Saying he "bribed" her makes it sounds like she was absence of guilt in some way - The mother took money to let this guy sleep with her daughters!
Don't weasel-word it in such as way as to let the mom off the freaking hook. - btschul, on 08/03/2008, -0/+35He could be a corporate lawyer for the RIAA.

It is her job, her duty, the whole reason that she is there - to protect and care for her children. That's what mothers are for. I met a girl once who slept with her eyes open; her mother had given her crack cocaine at the age of 15.
- vsujohn2, on 08/03/2008, -3/+30I wonder how much he offered her.
- moonboots, on 08/03/2008, -2/+28Nice
- Beowulf2112, on 08/02/2008, -8/+34I love how jacked up our legal system is
- adml_shake, on 08/03/2008, -1/+24Lynne Spears.
- cdigioia, on 08/03/2008, -6/+28I'm going to look like I'm defending the sicko but...
13 & 15 probably doesn't equal pedophile, unless one of the girls hit puberty quite late. His acts are horrible, but this doesn't mean he's a pedophile, just an *****, and one with questionable taste. - alex7575, on 08/03/2008, -0/+19Child molesters are so hated, even racists hate them...
- Mononuclear, on 08/03/2008, -1/+17The sad thing is they don't need a court order if you are a suspected terrorist.
- inactive, on 08/03/2008, -7/+23GOP politician.
- paradox4190, on 08/03/2008, -0/+16I know a kid that has done crack but doesn't sleep with his eyes open.
- justinx0r, on 08/03/2008, -3/+18Uh, you usually don't go to jail if you have small amounts of weed. The only time you would is if you were on on probation or you've been caught selling drugs before or something.
- socivitus, on 08/03/2008, -4/+19So I guess Visa or Mastercard don't taddle-tell on criminals who are looking to run from the fuzz? Good to know.
- btschul, on 08/03/2008, -4/+19Yeah, keeping a dude who ***** little kids locked up wouldn't make the world a better place or anything. /sarcasm
- Mononuclear, on 08/03/2008, -1/+15I know a kid that sleeps with his eyes open but he has never done crack...
- Coffeedemon, on 08/03/2008, -0/+14"but I wanted to get laid at 12 and 15"
Did you want to pick the person out for yourself or were you ok with your mom whoring you out to the highest bidder? - thinkart, on 08/03/2008, -0/+13try rewording your statement "the average pot *dealer* likely spends more time...."
even the 2nd offense, as a user, wouldn't get you that much time. with that being said, i get your point. pedophiles never get enough jail time. rapists and pedophiles get out quicker than many non-violent criminals. this should tell you, our system is about making money off the criminal. jails are big business. - cdigioia, on 08/03/2008, -2/+15"after bribing a mother so he could sleep with her 13 and 15 year-old daughters"
That makes it sound like the daughters wanted to, and he just bribed the mothers to let him.
Looking at his photo, I'm guessing it was more like "Paid a mother so he could rape her daughters". I hope the mom got jail time as well. - inactive, on 08/03/2008, -3/+16Uh, it would depend on where you were.
- Ajajadude, on 08/03/2008, -0/+13I was thinking the same thing. Yes, what the guy did (and the mother) was just plain sick, but we can't pick and choose when we follow the Constitution. I'm sure there are plenty of people here on Digg who have jumped all over companies and the government for privacy violations and are not having a problem with this. But, it's one or the other: either we have rights or we don't. What if the guy hadn't done anything?
- proghead, on 08/03/2008, -1/+14niccccccce....
- Roland1232, on 08/03/2008, -2/+14WTF are you talking about, do you even know your party's history?
- inactive, on 08/03/2008, -1/+13The problem is, if it were a Father he would not be classified as mentally ill, and sent to prison instead.
- raquel9e, on 08/03/2008, -0/+12@s0nicfreak:
Oh, you wanted to have non-consensual sex with a creepy older guy so that your mom could make some extra cash? Even if they did want to have sex with this guy it's still statutory rape. - Murdats, on 08/03/2008, -1/+13you apparently do not understand the apples and oranges metaphor.
- Mononuclear, on 08/03/2008, -1/+13someone with a foot fetish?
- s0nicfreak, on 08/03/2008, -0/+12First they came for the pedophiles, and I did not speak up, because I don't like pedophiles...
- PabloMac, on 08/03/2008, -1/+13That's not funny. I had a friend who lost two eyes sleeping with his eyes open.
- inactive, on 08/03/2008, -3/+14Paedophile.
- thebellmaster1x, on 08/03/2008, -0/+11Actually, and this is scaring me because this is the second time I've said this to you, someone who is on the antipode of my own political views, you are entirely correct. It's an unpopular position due to human nature, but the guy could have used his card to murder fifteen children—if they gave his information out without a court order, that is illegal. It doesn't matter who he is nor what he's done—he still has rights. When you take rights away from one person, they become meaningless for all people. After all, once that one guy's rights are gone, what's one other person's? ...And another's?
- PabloMac, on 08/03/2008, -0/+11$90?
- inactive, on 08/03/2008, -2/+13"how much for the little girls?"
btw do you take amex?
it has to be said that by far the biggest douche in this story is the mom. - rowjimmy, on 08/03/2008, -0/+10except it sticks to your record a lot more permanently than speeding.
- davedavis, on 08/03/2008, -0/+9A year and a half is a very harsh sentence. If you have been in jail for even 2 days you might have an idea what you're talking about.
- Chumblespuzz, on 08/03/2008, -0/+9Pædophile*
- PHiZ187, on 08/03/2008, -1/+10It is a common tact that when the legal system wants to squeeze out civil liberties, they use a child abuse or child pornography case to do so. No-one wants to set a child predator free. The problem is that these cases end up having legal precedent. That is EXACTLY what happened in the 9th circuit, where they handed down a ruling saying that border guards could search laptops w/o any suspicion or probable cause.
The ACLU fights to defend the bill of rights and the constitution. What do YOUR pet organizations do? The ACLU are patriots by ANY definition. - EvilJelloMan, on 08/03/2008, -1/+10***** you. No, seriously, ***** you. You represent everything that's wrong with America today. You want to congratulate a company for violating someone's privacy because he was ACCUSED of a crime? Notice I said accused, not convicted.
If you allow them to violate the right to privacy for accused criminals, what's to stop them from accusing YOU of a crime, just so they can violate your rights too? ***** like you are why people think warrantless wiretapping is actually a good thing. ***** you and your freedom-hating idiocy. ***** you a thousand times with a concrete dildo wrapped in barbed wire. -
