Democrat Facing 81 years For Child Porn Sentenced To 10 Months
Outrageous! I agree with everyone talking about this, his party affiliation shouldn’t matter, but in this case I think it helped his case. Andrew Douglas Reed, 53, a Democrat community leader, faced 81 years in prison after admitting that he would “record, develop and duplicate material containing a visual representation of a minor engaging in sexual activity.” Some of these kids were as young as six years old.
However, instead of the 967 months in jail – nearly 81 years – for which he was liable, Judge Robert Lewis, another Democrat, gave him, in a plea bargain with the office of District Attorney Ron Moore, who was elected as a Democrat, a 10-12 month sentence.
And even that seemed regrettable, according to a number of letters of recommendation offered by other Democrat leaders of the community to the court on his behalf.
I guess this is another case in which these liberal judges feel that these predators can be rehabilitated?
His offenses involved a long list of counts that he used the Internet to collect and share graphic child pornography – mostly involving children as young as six who were filmed “engaged in sex acts with adults or other children,” according to a local news report.
State investigators said Reed used an e-mail account to post 169 images and three movies containing child pornography on file-sharing networks over the last several years.
Ken Bagwell, whose “Heads Up America” radio program has delved into the appropriateness of that sentence, said there’s a difference between taking such material from the Internet “and getting your jollies or whatever these sickos do” and actually producing the material.
“You acquire the kid, you abuse the kid on camera, and get a 10-month sentence?” he asked. “I just cannot believe it.”
Jay said:
As much as the ACLU does in defending child predators that have been released, groups like NAMBLA, and child porn possession; even they make the distinction between possession and production. This is the kind of creep the ACLU wouldn’t even defend, and that is saying a lot.

Sentence decided by a Demon-carp judge? The judge went light because he probably is a pedo to.

This should be broadcast nationally on the major networks if for no other reason than to point out the fact that there are bad eggs in every bunch and democraps are not above the law. PERIOD.
If I were him I’d make sure my house were alarmed as he is bound to receive threats from the looney’s.

Gosh, I thought it was just the Republicans that had these morality problems!!!
Why is this not the lead story on CBS news? Why isn’t the MSM calling for investigations and resignations of Democrites up the chain?
Why, oh why?
