News article “Child porn collector faces 1,426-year sentence” relates:
“I’m just a collector,”[Jim] Price told detectives during the investigation, the affidavit shows. “What is on the computer(s) I did, and I know I will be arrested, but I didn’t realize it was a felony.”
He voluntarily turned over multiple hard drives and even told police how he stored the files.
On one occasion last summer, Price showed up at the East Cocalico police station with three external hard drives filled with porn, the affidavit shows.
WATCHDOG: Here is an apparently repressed individual residing with his 94 year old mother. A legitimate argument has been made that viewing and collecting photos of child sex encourages the exploitation of the children observed. Fair enough. But does this fellow deserve more than three months in the county prison and a couple of years on parole? What is more serious…what we think or what we do? G-d help us all if we are to be tried in this world for what we think.
