It's amazing how little anyone is willing to accept blame these days. They always find someone else to blame for their actions. For an extreme example, a guy in the UK arrested for having more than 16,000 child porn photos is using the unique defense that it's all Google's fault for making it so easy to access the photos. His lawyer noted: "He feels that he would not have committed these offences if this information was not so freely available. He feels if companies like Google did not provide access to such sites, he would not have committed the offences." It's tough to see the court buying that kind of argument.
REALLY DUDE IF GOOGLE WASNT IN THE PIC AND THIS WAS 1981 U STILL WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT BECUASE ITS U THE PROBLEM IS WITHIN U WE HAVE THE SIN NATURE.. THE INTERNET IS JUST A VIHICLE OR DOOR WAY FOR US TO DO MORE OF WHT OUR FLESH WANTS IF NOT GOOGLE THEN U WOULD USE ANOTHER PORTAL ]]]

Umm maybe if he were arrested for once accidentally seeing it. The fact that he has 16000 pics tells me this was a personal interest that would have come out somehow, regardless of the medium.
What do you mean, "it's not really a problem"??? Yes, society HAS a problem with kiddie porn. Because kids do NOT want to be in it. Anyone's fantasies are their own property, and I can daydream of beheading goats if it gets me any kick (it doesn't - just mentioning). But if i DO it, or I pay someone to behead goats and picture that - yes, society has a problem with that.
OK, MOST kiddie stuff is against their will or coerced, but let's not forget the TINY percentage that do it willingly. The ones who make money from it. Apparently, according to this guy, it's out there.
That being said, blaming GOOGLE is pathetic and the lawyer who brought it before the judge should be equally fined. I bet if they did that there and here a few times, fewer solicitors would be so willing to even attempt such trivial and pathetic defenses.;;

Mr. Pedo said "Namely... its not really a problem, but everyone loves to make it out to be."
I can understand that some might think, that like homosexuality, our culture will just become more tolerant.
The difference is that homosexuality is between adults who are old enough to make informed decisions about who they are and what they are doing with their life.
In the case of a pedophile, they are asking someone who doesn't have to the right to say yes. They don't have the right because they are not old enough to manage that kind of decision yet.
This is why there are laws that prevent old guys from nailing 14 year old girls.
With an age difference of that much, you get into issues of power balance. Namely a relationship these days are supposed to be equal. If one partner is old enough to be a parent, you don't have equality you have a sex slave.

Doesn't anyone have self control these days? I mean, really, this guy is one of the dumbest idiots I've heard about in a long time. If this man had any self constraint, then he wouldn't have the 16k pics that they found. Another thing is, doesn't the government block those kinds of sites? If they are so easy to find on google, I would beleive that the government would have a problem with that, or maybe they just keep them up to catch pedophiles. Who knows?
WHat I wouldn't give to have about 20 minutes alone in a room with this guy. Not only because he had child porn... ok, that is enough reason for me. But, because he is blaming a search engine for making it possible. GUESS WHAT SCUM BAG... it was your own sick mind that found the stuff. Is it your ISPs fault for giving your access to google? Is your employers fault for paying you the money that you pay your ISP with? Pure scum... hope he rots in jail.

I apologize if I don't have the most rock solid arguments. But let me share where I am coming from.
I know several people who were sexually abused as children. The guilt, shame and humiliation do not just go away. They will never be able to just forget it. 1 in 4 people are sexually abused in the US.
After you have learned the stories of your family, friends or significant other, you cannot help but be outraged.
Why I rbought up homosexuality: Many pedophiles try to pull the argument out that pedophilia is just another form of sexual orientation and that they shouldn't be persecuted for their beliefs. I felt that "Mr pedo" aka "Old guy" was heading down that line of thought.
As you may or may not know, back in the 1950's it was a crime to be homosexual. People were sentenced to chemical castration for their crimes. Now we mostly accept homosexuality as a choice, not a mental sickness or defect.
"Oh so its ok if 18 year olds have sex with 12 year olds?" Do you think that the 18 year old is on equal terms as a 12 year old? Do you feel like they have a similar level of mental development? I don't. Have you ever spoken to an average 15 year old female? The next time you are at the DMV, just note how the girls getting their permits and licenses for the first time are acting. They are children in all senses of the word.
I know that in a majority of the European countries, 16 is the legal age of consent. I know that this age works for some cultures but maybe not for all cultures.
American courts, law makers and citizens have settled on the age of 18 with a plethora of exceptions. It is not a magical number, it is just the age at which most people graduate from high school and pregnant teen drop outs that cannot support themselves are longer an issue.
