    Being a young police officer contributed to the cause of this offense, but Mr. Jock was not given leniency due to his former employment.

    The average sentence for those found guilty of trafficking child pornography was 133 months in 2019. source

      Great context, thanks.

      I was also mystified at the first part of that quote, that “being a young police officer contributed to the cause of this offense.” How does that work? Does being a young cop often lead to trafficking child pornography?

        I have to assume there’s some context in the case im missing that makes that statement perfectly reasonable because the alternative is this guy stating that the cop profession somehow makes you do pedo shit and this is so well known a phenomenon that it doesn’t need further elaboration.

          Probably something along the lines of him having access to CSAM because of his job

        You know how narcs are often addicted to the drugs they’re confiscating from dealers? This dude was busting pedos and decided he should see what the fuss was all about.

      Well, see, we did sentence him to twenty years. It’s just, you know, he doesn’t have to serve the time. You know how it is.

        I’m sure the parole officer will treat him the same as any other convict and he’ll get tossed back in prison for missing a phone call or something. They wouldn’t give him preferential treatment.

      If Lemmy had ‘Lemmy Gold’, you’d have a trophy right now.

          I am cheerfully making a small monthly donation via Patreon (which annoys me cuz I hate Patreon, but I couldn’t make the Open Collective link work).

          Kinda miss handing out Gold though. Seems like it would be a great fediverse fundraiser.
