> [@asahi](#): > > I’m guessing that receiving and possessing child pornography charges are just the start and that they’re looking to see if he didn’t also produce it. He’s looking at probably a decade behind bars already, and if it’s worse, he’s looking at federal imprisonment until well into mid-life. What I’ve read before is that there is this sort of trade going on, where you trade one pic you have for another someone else has. Any pic that they can get elsewhere obviously wouldn’t be very valuable, and acquisition in any other way than trading is hard, meaning that a lot of the traded pics are self-produced. So I suspect anyone with a large library of pics to likely be a producer. (I’m using pic to mean both images and video.) ---

I’m sure it will be as popular with women as Ashley Madison was - and I suspect a lot of closeted gay men would patronize both sites. ---

Seeing some other posts online, I was reminded that this is the Duggar kid who (allegedly?) molested his own sisters when they were underage. (Maybe this was mentioned in one of the link I didn’t click on.) I remember saying at the time that I expected him to continue due to the lack of any real punishment. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > I’m probably going to regret asking this, but what’s a soy boy? A term based on a conspiracy theory that drinking soy milk is making men less “manly” (due to the phytoestrogens soy contains). To me, it also contains connotations of being the type of person who wouldn’t drink good ol’ cows milk, but buys into the “liberal conspiracy” of eating more plant-based foods. ---

(Maybe this was mentioned in one of the link I didn’t click on.) It wasn’t alleged. It was real. The girls got the blame for tempting him. Even the five year old. He was put under the supervision of some law enforcement friend of his father (can’t remember his exact rank) who made him do a few months of physical labor. This same law enforcement guy was later convicted of either child porn or molestation or both. ---
