In reply to the discussion: A depraved world: FBI agents wage a stressful battle against child pornography [View all]caseymoz

But I stand corrected. I misread my initial source:
http://bradhicks.livejournal.com/tag/forbidden%20lore
I thought Handley was going to receive the maximum sentence of 15 years prison, three years probation and a lifetime on the sex offender registry. In the four years I read about the case, my memory had degraded. All I remembered was a lot of years (about 30, give or take.)
The next year, he was actually sentenced to six months according the Wikipedia article you gave, and one of its sources:

Therefore, I was wrong on most counts. However, it seems Handley's case did involve only comic book art: Manga.

Yes, I think it's often abuse victims that become abusers themselves.

I think it has to do with objectifying people in general, as well as mental disorders.

What's your point? That destroying a child's soul and mind aren't as important?
