It always confuses me as "making" would assume he was taking the photo but when you read it, he's downloading / sharing them.

It was pretty obvious he was a wrongun from that video as well.

I think ‘making’ can technically mean downloading onto a device as you have ‘made’ the file.

Yeah, it’s because they’re being reproduced it’s the same as making them.

Now changed his plea to guilty. Surely he’s going down for a while.

“The 43-year-old appeared at Nottingham Crown Court over an allegation relating to a category A video, the most serious kind, recovered by police in February.”

Do I dare even want to know how the categorise that kind of thing? It sounds horrendous.

I read through the case of Ian Watkins following his death this week and I cannot get my head around how people can be like this.

Far far more prevalent than you’d believe looking at the false testosterone on here. Very likely to be someone in your group of friends

I'm not researching it but i would assume the worst kind means there is actual abuse involved in the video and that the children are very young. Fucking grim.

Did a project with Relate many years ago which was around providing support to kids. The figures they had were absolutely mind blowing. You may think the number you hear about is high but it really is just the tip of the iceberg.

Utter scummy c**t.

I had a molecule of sympathy for him during the Klopp/cocaine shit, but this....ffs.

Gonna top himself Epstein style, hopefully.

Its not upset me i just don't know what you're on about...

1. There but for the grace of god go many people - So its only by the grace of God i'm not a nonce
2. Far far more prevalent than you’d believe looking at the false testosterone on here - I don't know what the bit about false testosterone even means and how it relates to nonce numbers.
3. Very likely to be someone in your group of friends - Very likely seems to be a stretch and its a needlessly provocative thing to say.

1- we all do things wrong most of us don’t get caught or have to pay the consequences.
2 - everyone likes to think of themselves as better than another group most blokes pick on those guilty of sexual crimes
3- most of us have 10 friends stands to reason one of them if not more will be one of the one in 9 referred to

as I say sorry to upset you

I think the common trend with these people is they have perversions which gradually become more extreme to keep them ‘satisfied’, ultimately crossing into illegal noncing and bestiality.

I think in many cases you'd be right. Certainly the likes of Watkins it likely went from lots of drugs and having control over groupies, some quite young, to the monster he became. It seems very unlikely the really grim stuff was a starting point.

Sadly I’m familiar with it from having been a union rep to teachers guilty of doing similar to Coote and that’s how they explained it.

Must be honest, now with a baby son, the idea of someone molesting him and then sharing the results with other nonces makes me want their nuts ripping off.

Ripping their nuts off seems a fair punishment to me.

Will be in line with sentencing guidelines
He’s lost everything and whilst some think it’s not enough it is quite a lot
Never ever condone it and I have no idea how one even does
I assume he pleaded guilty and showed remorse
When I was walking alongside someone going through something similar we looked into the stats as I’ve said above

it’s an epidemic the police think 350000 are guilty of similar crimes. Bless the victims and all those affected innocently by his actions too

I understand the point you’re making but you belittle it by saying calling someone a name and get 4 years cos that’s not what’s happened

You also in part diminish the crimes by lumping everything together as child pornography as it’s a huge spectrum of criminal activity

I know you like to see the best in people Pete as a man of religion, I however do lump anyone involved in child porn into 1 pile as scum who should be neutered

Did some work with Relate years ago around child counselling (nothing on the actual counselling side you'll all be pleased to know, tech stuff) and they said the same. What we hear about is the tip of the iceburg.

There was a change in the law around that time which they said made it far harder to gain a conviction. Something to do with changing the law from a strict definition of the actual content of the images to going off intended use of the images instead. No idea if that got changed back at any point.
