The "family values" contingency: Yes, the sanctity of life, marriage and family – except when they transport a minor to a foreign country in order to sexually exploit and abuse them, or give a married man a free pass to cheat on his wife, or dump their sick wives to marry another and blame their “patriotism” for their weakness. The entire movement is a monumental exercise in hypocrisy on a grand scale.

*Authors note* The original story is over 1 year old however I hadn’t heard of it until today and I believe that it should be read. I will also be looking into this to determine if anything was actually done or if this was swept under the rug. Stay tuned for updates.
America’s iconic defense hub, the Pentagon, houses nearly 25,000 employees with varying degrees of expertise and security clearances and most have access to government computers round the clock.
The Pentagon was under heavy fire after nearly 5,200 people were reported to have viewed child porn and in most cases the Pentagon’s response was to do absolutely nothing. The Department of Defense has admitted that investigators failed to see whether or not employees were on the list of suspected porn viewers. 5,200 people is quite a lot however the background checks required to work for the government are very thorough and many suspected of viewing child porn had security clearances of “top secret”.
Full story as well as updates. It seems the story was killed by the pentagon and the once vocal Senator is now quiet and the original journalist who broke the story "forgot" to check up on this case. http://mybloggityblog.com/wordpress/2012/06/pentagon-failed-to-investigate-employees-who-viewed-child-porn/*Authors note* The original story is over 1 year old however I hadn’t heard of... more

Tessa Vervlerah, 22-year-old woman from Balwin (St. Louis County), Missouri, pleaded guilty to incest, statutory sodomy and statutory rape of her infant daughter along with a California man she met online, and has been sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison.
Vanvlerah was arrested in 2010 following the arrest of 49-year-old Kenneth Kyle, a California State University East Bay professor, on child pornography charges. Along with hundreds of child porn images on Kyle's computers, investigators found information that led them to the St. Louis area, where Kyle had visited Vanvlerah four times in five months since meeting online. During those visits, prosecutors say the pair had sex with the girl and each other at various hotels. The girl is now 3 but who was 5 months old when the pair first attacked her. The woman who fostered and then adopted the girl said initially, the girl would scream when anyone bathed her or changed her diaper. She still has night terrors and asks at each bedtime to make sure nobody else comes into the home.
Forensic psychologist Dr. Brooke Kraushaar testified at Vanvlerah's sentencing hearing that Vanvlerah's dependent-personality disorder caused her to participate in Kyle's sexual fantasies, even though she knew sex acts involving the baby were wrong. Kyle pleaded guilty to a federal child sexual abuse charge and was sentenced in March to 37½ years in prison.

Boston - TSA agent Joe Saldano was among 55 men taken into custody in a crackdown on child pornography this week, adding another name to the long list of accused sex offenders who have performed security duties at America's airports.
According to the Boston Herald, Saldano, 59, and the other men charged in this case were targeted by Operation Corral, a law enforcement program started in January to track the distribution and transfer of child pornography through file-sharing sites.
Massachusetts state police colonel Marian McGovern underscored the inconspicuous nature of these sex crimes at a press conference announcing the raids, as reported by the Huffington Post.

Authorities in New Jersey have arrested a rabbi from Argentina on child pornography charges.
Passaic County sheriff's detectives arrested 50-year-old Rabbi Gabriel Toledo at a kosher food distribution company in Moonachie on Thursday.
The Record newspaper reports Sheriff Richard Berdnik issued a statement saying the rabbi was in possession of more than 1,000 images.
Toledo does not lead a local congregation and is in the U.S. on a visa. He's been living in Passaic.
Authorities say his roommate, 22-year-old Joseph Vasquez, fled from detectives. He's wanted as a fugitive for child pornography charges.
The sheriff's office says Vasquez is from Honduras and is in the United States illegally.

Anonymous' forceful closure of more than 40 child pornography sites was apparently only the beginning of the group's war against pedophile activity on the internet. The group has continued its action by releasing the internet addresses of 190 alleged pedophiles online, using information collected from the sites it had earlier shut down.
In addition, the group claims to have uncovered the identity of the operator of Freedom Hosting, the hosting service that it described as "the host of the largest collection of child pornography on the internet" as developer and privacy advocate Mike Perry.
It's unknown whether the release of IP addresses is just the first of many; Anonymous had claimed to have information for more than 1,500 users accessing child pornography on the Tor network when it announced "Operation Darknet" last week.

Director Andrew Jarecki originally set out to create a documentary profiling children's entertainers in New York, but his focus changed he researched David Friedman, a clown who performed at kid's birthday parties. After Jarecki learned that David's father and brother had been convicted of child sexual abuse, his documentary gradually became a portrait of David's family, now known as "Capturing the Friedmans" (2003). Combining interviews from the family and children involved with family footage shot by David Friedman during the investigation, Jarecki crafted a balanced look at a compelling and complicated case. "Vanguard" correspondent Christof Putzel and screenwriter Diablo Cody explain why "Capturing the Friedmans" is so effective and deserves to be No. 20 on the "50 Documentaries to See Before You Die" countdown.
Renowned documentarian Morgan Spurlock hosts "50 Documentaries To See Before You Die," a celebration of the most remarkable and moving documentaries released in the past 25 years. It examines how the documentary feature has evolved into an increasingly popular genre, becoming a major box office draw and impacting contemporary American culture in ways never seen before.
"50 Documentaries To See Before You Die" airs Tuesdays at 9/8c throughout August on Current TV.

Look, we understand that being accused of pedophilia is horrible but, if you're not keen on spending time in the pokey, it's probably not best to exact your revenge by hacking and framing your accusers for making terrorist threats or downloading child pornography. That was the unfortunate route chosen by Minnesotan Barry Ardolf, whose neighbors Matt and Bethany Kostolnik went to the police after he allegedly kissed their four-year-old son on the lips.
Ardolf broke into the couple's Wi-Fi and e-mail accounts, and used them to post porn on MySpace, send threats to Joe Biden, and explicit come-ons to Matt's coworkers. Now the the 46-year-old cyberbully is facing 18 years in prison, a tough sentence for a first time offender sure, but an investigation revealed the Kostolniks were not his first victims. In addition to his lengthy stay in jail Ardolf will also have to register as a sex offender -- an irony were sure isn't lost on him.

Michelle McCutchan, 38-year-old woman from Checotah (Eufaula), Oklahoma, who was arrested for making a sex tapes with a teen boy now faces more charges.
McCutchan, a fifth grade teacher at Marshall Elementary School in Checotah, was arrested in May and was charged with two counts of second degree rape and one count of sodomy. The five alleged acts between McCutchan and the 16-year-old boy who was her daughter's boyfriend took place between January and February 2011 at the teacher's home and the teen's home. She also confessed to setting up a video camera to film two of the romps.
Now Michelle McCutchan faces more faces additional sex-related charges after investigators of the case have turned up evidence showing there may be other victims - and NOT just one or two but it seem that she engaged in sexual relations with at least three teenage boys, two of them students. Assistant District Attorney Crieg Rittenhouse has charged McCutchan with nine counts each of second-degree rape and sodomy as a result of the teacher’s alleged involvement with the students. The third boy is 16 years old, but he was not a student and he age of consent in Oklahoma is 16 years. Evidence shows that McCutchan urnished him with alcohol.
In addition to the charges of second-degree rape, sodomy and furnishing alcoholic beverages to a minor, prosecutors also filed one count each of child neglect and possessing child pornography as a result of evidence that indicates McCutchan allowed a 15-year-old girl to watch her have sex with one of the teenage boys and then watched the girl while she had sex with the same partner. The pornography charge, prosecutior said, is based upon images that allegedly capture that encounter.

This isn’t a comparison on the effects of alcohol vs. weed and whether pot being illegal is constitutional. This isn’t about the numerous financial benefits to the state, the entrepreneur and the employee through weed’s taxation, tourism, regulation and indirect business associations. Nor is this on marijuana’s arguable health benefits and the hypocrisy of pharmaceutical companies making billions with prescription drugs to which the true long term effects aren’t known. This is about putting aside personal feelings on a plant in order to stymie human trafficking, child pornography, child prostitution and murder.
Legal marijuana is a cash crop for the state and the entrepreneur, while illegal it’s a cash crop for the “bad guys” most notably the fluid and dangerous drug cartels. Like the mob during prohibition, cartels reap benefits on a substance being illegal while they deal in more heinous and egregious activities than drug distribution. Child pornography, murder and child prostitution are also calling cards of the cartels. Legalizing pot takes money from the cartels, creates money for the state and reallocates police to more serious problems.
This isn’t drama, theatrics or a convolution of the facts. The very real truth is, evil is in this world and idle hands are part of the problem. Please, ponder the pot question and weigh its’ morality. It is wrong to buck our responsibility on the precedence of it being illegal. Properly regulated legal marijuana makes the world a better place, plain and simple.This isn’t a comparison on the effects of alcohol vs. weed and whether pot being... more

A 'mother' (of 4) sexually abuses her 2 year old baby on a live web stream (4 separate times!) & is only sentenced to 15 years & 20 years to be served CONCURRENTLY?!
Sorry but I think this sentence is just too lenient & the laws need to be changed! Sick people like this should never walk free again (if they should ever walk at all).
Thankfully her 4 children are now out of her care but who knows what kind of horrors they have endured & whether they will heal.
I hope there are decent & sane relatives who can take them in & provide a loving home for them. Poor children. :(

Government believed the sites contained child pornography, but they did not
In evidence of the dangers of the U.S. government's increasing "kill switch" powers regarding web servers inside the U.S., the Department of Justice and Homeland Security’s ICE last week essentially shut down 84,000 sites in a case of mistaken identity.
The shutdowns targeted mooo.com, the most popular shared domain at free web service provider FreeDNS. FreeDNS is a free domain service that is immensely popular among file sharers, blogs, small businesses, and other independent operators. Its homepage is afraid.org.
With the mooo.com shutdown last Friday, the ICE accidentally shut down 84,000 subdomain pages. The pages were all redirected to a banner that stated "Advertisement, distribution, transportation, receipt, and possession of child pornography constitute federal crimes that carry penalties for first time offenders of up to 30 years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine, forfeiture and restitution."
The court order to shut down and redirect the sites was granted via a seizure warrant from a District Court. The warrant was executed as part of the DHS ICE team's "Operation Save Our Children".
The key problem is that none of the sites thus identified under the mooo.com superdomain had child porn on them. They appear to have been the victim of an overzealous government police force with a bit too much power on its hands.
FreeDNS has expressed outrage. In a statement, they comment, "Freedns.afraid.org has never allowed this type of abuse of its DNS service. We are working to get the issue sorted as quickly as possible."
Over the weekend they managed to begin restoring some of the pages. Meanwhile small business owners were left to try to reassure customers that they were note engaging in illegal activity [source example].
The DHS is actually bragging about the takedowns citing 10 child porn sites that were taken offline, but conveniently forgetting to mention the 84,000 legitimate sites it also killed. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano states [press release]:
Each year, far too many children fall prey to sexual predators and all too often, these heinous acts are recorded in photos and on video and released on the Internet...DHS is committed to working with our law enforcement partners to shut down websites that promote child pornography to protect these children from further victimization.
The DHS has not yet released an official statement on the abuse of power. It also has yet to comment on whether it plans to compensate webpage owners for lost business or damage to their websites.
Website owners can still replicate the redirect by adding "74.81.170.110 mooo.com" to their hosts file.Government believed the sites contained child pornography, but they did not

Many Internet service providers keep records of user behavior—though not for long. The US government would, once again, like to change that by adopting some form of "data retention" requirement for ISPs. That's because, as Jason Weinstein of the Department of Justice put it today, "data retention is [now] fundamental to the Department’s work in investigating and prosecuting almost every type of crime."
There's no call yet for specifics, though the US surely has its eye on the (controversial) European model: ISPs must hang onto logs for at least six months but no more than two years. These "logs" are huge databases that grow exponentially as more devices access the Internet and do so for longer periods of time; there's a reason most ISPs only hang onto this information for a few months right now. After that, it's simply deleted.
That's great for privacy. It's less great for cops who are, say, investigating a serious felony that occurred 91 days ago only to find that their trail has hit a dead end because the data was deleted on day 90.
Lurid examples
Weinstein made this case to the House Judiciary Committee by way of an example:
> In a 2006 hearing before another committee in this House, an agent of the Wyoming
> Division of Criminal Investigation gave a heart-wrenching example of the harm that a
> lack of data retention can cause. He described how an undercover operation
> discovered a movie, depicting the rape of a two-year-old child that was being traded
> on a peer-to-peer file sharing network. Investigators were able to determine that the
> movie had first been traded four months earlier. So, investigators promptly sent a
> subpoena to the ISP that had first transmitted the video, asking for the name and
> address of the customer who had sent the video. The ISP reported that it didn’t have
> the records. Despite considerable effort, the child was not rescued and the criminals
> involved were not apprehended.
John Douglass of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, who spoke next, had an example of his own—this time a positive one of how important electronic data can be to an investigation.
> On July 26, 2006, 22 year old Tori Vienneau and her 10 month infant son, Dean
> were murdered in their 2 bedroom apartment in San Diego. Tori was found strangled
> in her living room and baby Dean was found strangled and hung from his crib in one
> of the adjoining bedrooms. This horrifying crime scene triggered an exhaustive 18
> month investigation.
> The case was ultimately solved exclusively by the circumstantial evidence, including
> cell text message content and cell tower data from Verizon Wireless. The defendant
> denied any involvement in the killings and provided an intricate and extensive alibi.
> Investigators focused their attention on Dennis Potts almost immediately because he
> was rumored to have had dinner plans with Tori on the night of her murder. Mr. Potts
> denied these rumors of dinner plans and the victim’s cell phone was examined for
> any text messages between the two of them supporting/refuting such rumors. In a
> most interesting twist, all incoming and outgoing text messages prior to 6:30 pm on
> the night of the killings had been deleted. The victim’s cell phone provider was
> contacted, but the text message content was not stored by the cell provider and
> therefore could not be recovered that way. Over the ensuing months, the victim’s
> phone was subjected to extensive forensic analysis in the hopes of recovering some
> of these messages.
> The defendant’s cell phone carrier (Verizon Wireless) was also contacted and
> investigators were told incoming text message content (victim to defendant texts
> only) was preserved only for 3-5 days. In a stroke of good luck, this incoming data
> still existed and was preserved. It later proved to be pivotal in proving the
> defendant’s guilt. The text message content proved not only that the defendant lied
> to investigators and that the two did, in fact, have plans to meet that evening, but
> also that the defendant was checking to see if the victim and her son were alone in
> the apartment.
> Verizon also provided the cell tower data for the defendant’s phone. This data,
> coupled with some additional testing, showed that the defendant’s alibi was false and
> he was not where he said he was. Furthermore, at the time of the killings, his cell
> phone “pinged” off of a cell tower only 500 yards from the victim’s apartment. This
> became the single most important piece of evidence linking the defendant to the
> killings and to his ultimate conviction in September, 2009.
Target or dragnet?
ISPs and phone companies aren't overly excited by the idea of new retention rules. They say that they already work with investigators, and point out that police can ask at any time for a specific user's data to be preserved and it will be.
Kate Dean, who represented ISPs at the hearing, made clear that her industry "has come to the understanding that a blanket legal requirement to retain Internet usage data for established time periods is certain to present significant challenges to the communications industry, both for well-established companies and newer online media enterprises, as well as unintended consequences which are incapable of precise identification."
Instead, the ISPs could support "further opportunities to innovate around the preservation model" which targets specific users, rather than some requirement to store terabytes of information on every single subscriber.
Congress hasn't yet proposed specific legislation in this area, but the hearing suggests some might be coming. John Morris of the Center for Democracy & Technology warned Congress about the privacy and free speech dangers of a lengthy retention mandate.
"Mandatory data retention is a risky and costly path to go down," Morris concluded, "and one that is all the more problematic because once Congress opens the door to mandating that service providers amass huge tracking databases documenting citizensʼ Internet usage, it will be hard to close it. If Congress were to impose data retention on even just a narrow category of service providers, and even for a narrow category of crimes, there would be a strong and inevitable push to broaden the scope and reach of data retention. Congress should not cross this risky line."

Police have charged a Manheim man who they say possessed more than 13,000 videos and photos depicting the sexual abuse of children.
Brandon Eakman, 24, of 1636 Mockingbird Lane, was charged with 302 counts of possessing child pornography, according to a news release issued Wednesday by the Lancaster County district attorney's office.
The charges were filed by Penn Township police Sgt. George Pappas.
Eakman was arrested Wednesday and arraigned by District Judge Thomas Fee. He was committed to Lancaster County Prison in lieu of $200,000 bail.
Fee said that Eakman is to have no contact with children and is not permitted to use any type of computer system, including gaming systems, according to court documents.
"We're talking about an astronomical amount of material," District Attorney Craig Stedman said Wednesday night regarding the pornography. "This is shocking even to our office, and, believe me, we see all kinds of things."
Stedman said the material Eakman is alleged to have possessed had been downloaded onto a computer. He said there was no evidence to suggest that Eakman participated in the creation of any of the photos or videos.
"There is nothing to indicate at this time that he had inappropriate contact with any children," Stedman said. He said the children in the photos and videos were of varying ages.
Stedman said he didn't know what led police to investigate Eakman or how long the investigation took to complete.
Pappas was not immediately available for comment Wednesday night.
Investigators said Eakman could face a maximum penalty of 2,114 years in jail and $4.5 million in fines if convicted.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m. Jan. 27.
