Glee Star indicted on child **** charges

[Lion Heart 15,041]

Glee actor Mark Wayne Salling was indicted Friday on federal charges of receiving and possessing child ****ography on his laptop computer and a flash memory drive.

Salling, who played Noah Puckerman on Glee, was named in the two-count indictment following an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department and the Child Exploitation Investigations Group, a multi-agency task force.

The indictment alleges that Salling, 33, used the internet to receive a ****ographic still image and a video of a young girl on Dec. 26, 2015. The second count charges Salling with possessing two ****ographic videos depictingof young girls on Dec. 29, 2015, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The laptop, a hard drive, and a USB flash drive seized from Salling’s residence also contained thousands of images and videos depicting child ****ography, according to federal authorities, who are continuing to review the material.

Salling was initially arrested by Los Angeles police in December and released on bond. However, once investigators realized the scope of the child ****ography, the matter was referred to federal authorities for further action, which resulted in the indictment, prosecutors said.

“It doesn’t matter who you are or what you do, if you hurt a child you will be held accountable,” LAPD Lt. Andrea Grossman said in a statement. “These images are more than photographs, they are child abuse.”

Salling faces up 20 years in federal prison for both charges if convicted.

I feel such sympathy for pedophiles. They don't choose who they're sexually attracted to, all the while it's completely societally acceptable to dub them 'sick', 'disgusting', even likening them to murderers, etc. In reality, they suffer from their own biological sexuality that just so happens to cause trauma and an unacceptable loss of innocence. If anything, those who act upon their sexuality should be cared for in mental institutions, learning how to control their urges and possible direct it somewhere else. Honestly, I think things like animated child **** or erotica could seriously help if embraced as a mental aid. They don't really have a sexual outlet other than repressing everything (which is what probably leads to a lack of self control). It's just sad.

but they're not the only ones affected by that, what about the childs who are 'attacked' or a survivor of molestation? It's a circle.

Being a pedophile isn't just to see a child **** video...I don't know how can you feel sympathy for them 

[TimisaMonster 31,073]

Wow...and usually we think of pedo's as older fat guys...this is a young man and could spend his adult life in prison

Especially that this is public...they will rape him relentlessly in prison and he'll have to be put in solitary confinement for his safety

Those who harm others entirely due to a mental disability are not considered accountable for their actions. I feel sympathy for people like this because, unlike those with mental disabilities, it's okay to call them disgusting. They're never treated in the sense of having a mental disorder. This isn't something many can help. They are forced to repress their sexuality their entire lives. 

You only do not deserve sympathy when you harm someone if you can help it. When it comes down to repressed human sexual urges, no, some cannot help it.

I don't think anybody is defending the act of child molestation, everybody finds that horrific and immoral. Like Warholian said "In reality, they suffer from their own biological sexuality that just so happens to cause trauma and an unacceptable loss of innocence".

Pedophilia = attraction to children. That's all. It doesn't mean that a pedophile is acting on those urges, it doesn't mean they are watching child **** or molesting children. It just means they are attracted to children.

Surely you can feel sympathy for someone who is tormented by these sexual fantasies that they do not want and cannot control?

In the perfect society I would think the stigma around pedophilia would be low so that pedophiles could openly come out and seek treatment to help them deal with their sexual urges. As of now I don't think many pedophiles are getting help to curb or reduce their urges and are unfortunately then acting on those urges.

Sexual preference is NOT a mental disorder. That's an archaic way of thinking.

I'm not sure where to start with this but I'll start with the thing I'm probably most well know;edged about...

I am pretty sure animated child p0rn (this entire idea itself is ridiculous) will never be available as a mental aid. Why?

It is far too easy to get a hold of.

I know many sites where I can find underage fictional teenagers having their brains screwed out. Ben 10, Kingdom Hearts, code Lyoko, Avatar The Last Airbender. You name it, I kind find yaoi of it. Name a fetish of it and I can find that too. Can't find it?

I can commission it.

This idea you have would require incredible self-control of the participant, or the participant to be watched at all times. or even worse, internet control.

A mental disorder or mental illness can simply be a mental state that causes an inability to function in one's life. If sexual preference also blends with a desire to harm others, it can very well be considered a mental disorder. Would you be happier if I used mental condition?..

i know what you mean (homosexuality), but in this case, you are wrong. according to the DSM, it actually is.

The one thing I would disagree with you on is that Pedophiles can help not molesting children. It's not like they are incapable of knowing right from wrong.

I wouldn't call pedophilia a mental disability, that's just not factual. Mental Illness, sure, but there is a difference. Most mentally ill people are not violent and they are not dangerous to others (Although in fairness, neither are most mentally disabled people). Mentally Ill people are not stupid, they are capable of discerning right from wrong, they are able to make moral judgments.

Pedophiles are still able to discern that hurting children is wrong, they might use rationalisations to justify their behaviour, but so do all types of rapists and violent criminals. 

Obviously it would be very tempting to watch child **** if you were a pedophile and it would be tempting to molest kids if you were a pedophile, but that's not an excuse. I think that better access to mental health treatments for these people would absolutely be beneficial and help people curb their urges and find ways to reduce triggers in their environment but at the end of the day the decision is theirs alone.

I totally understand that the mass majority of those attracted to youth don't act upon it. I'm more referring to those who do and are severely attacked and misunderstood. But, I think I'm realizing now that talking about child **** on a Gagadaily thread can make me get into this way too deep, so I'm running. See you on my iconic joke meme threads.
