Quote:Lots of people hurt in this...victims, Jared's wife, Jared himself, and all the people that he helped to inpsire.


I knew he was addicted to explicit media use since being in college, when he was overweight. I wonder if he always had a fetish for young girls, or if the explicit media use got out of control and his appetite (no pun intended) became insatiable.

 

It's hard to imagine why some people do what they do.  I'm going to use a qualifier and I hope that people won't take this the wrong way.  At least this involved minors that were close to the age of being adults.  I'm not saying that it makes it right, but when I see the charge of "child p" I often think of very young children.  I'm not saying that one is worse than the other (exploiting children is despicable in my mind), but in all fairness, his victims had a pretty good idea of what they were doing and played a role in it.  At least that's how I see it in the news reports.

 

Again, I'm not defending him in any way, but I'm willing to bet that a 16 or 17 year old girl has a pretty good idea of what they are doing for money.
