Just because you plead guilty does not mean your guilty. You have to plead guilty if you want a lighter sentence. Jon is a very nice guy i have known him for years!!!!!!!

I agree that a person can open up something on one web site & it will download something bad like the porn. Years ago I just happend to open up my favorites and a porn site was listed in there. I know I never downloaded it and I quickly deleted it.
FYI….YouTube is a major site to have porn download in your computer if you are playing a video, etc. & YouTube is also packed with viruses.

@ Joe: You obviously have not spent any time in computer programing to understand how programs work. I have and the purpose of some programs are to drive what your doing to a particular site for their profit. It is no different from any other advertising. They will even down load stuff for free to get you hooked. Just little things like certain words and so on can direct you to things you do not want. This is not just a matter of morals and standards it is highly probable that this man may be guilty but just as probable that he is not. Computers do as directed and if it pick up a word it will direct to where it is suppose to go. This is why they have vreated in the last few years software to protect children from this happening. It’s called parental controls.
So again I am not trying to say he is wrong or right I am just saying that long ago it could have been something simple that took him unknowingly or by mistake to the site. Who knows. But he did plead guilty.
One last thing you seem to try and hold your self out to be higher than. So, just so you know I am a christian as well and it can happen to you or I at anytime so don’t get to high and mighty. It could bite your back side. Just saying.

I know this man and his family. He is from an innocent & cloistured background and stepped out into the “world” without knowing the harsh realities. He did not realize limewire was known for piggy-backing child porn onto other types of stuff. Limewire even has a history of adding covert child porn to music files. Even the judge stated that she felt like he did not intentionally down load this material and was only sentencing because she “had to’ because of the federal law. This is a very unique case and many people making harsh comments don’t know all the details. This man would not hurt a child or an adult in anyway. This is a clear example of sometimes good guys get caught in the crossfire and have to pay because of what bad guys do.

Many of you do not understand what “sentencing guidelines” are. Several years ago, these guidelines had to be put in place because so many judges would vary the way they would sentence. There was a higher number of certain races of people going to prison than others that were committing the same crimes. Some judges were more harsh or more lenient…so guidelines had to be put in place to “force” judges to sentence the same way for the same crimes.

Jon and the family are in our thoughts and prayers. Those who know you, know you are innocent. You are loved and respected.

liz, what happened to you was a one time thing apparently…you didn’t keep going back to it, downloading 3 minute long videos and have the word kiddie in another file….there is to much evidence here to just disreguard it as “accidental”. There are good people out there from good families and they have been known to be do things they shouldn’t do. Good family friends can also do things to family members and friend’s children too…read the papers, happens EVERY single day, people you trust with your life will do things unheard of…it’s a sickness….

Whitepunknotondope-

Wow, some in the community seem to have very strong opinions of porn and standing by their criminal friends. At the same time there is a misconception that some people (i.e. me) are ignorant to the “real world.” I laugh at the very idea of my “Bible and Coveralls” this was a good metaphor or simile you, decide which it was. It seems the question of me “learning something new” has caused more than a considerable amount of disquiet within our small community. You obviously do not know me so without excessive ostentation, please allow me elaborate and educate you.

My origins are from a benevolent group of upper median range socio economic gender specific and Theo centric Christian beliefs. I have traveled the world reaping the intellectual marvels of civilianization’s erstwhile to our own. Amidst my journey of life I have pondered and deliberated many philosophical concepts and ideas.

My conclusions are thus:
Of all the things we can carry on this journey of life, there are but 2 that truly matter, our faith and our integrity.

My integrity tells me laws (natural and manmade) are established for the good of man. Breaking them can have dire consequences.

My faith tells me “porn” is wrong, legal or not. You do not covet your neighbors wife. For those who enjoy the homosexual porn, that falls under Leviticus 18:22.

I appreciate the opportunity I have been afforded here to express my personal opinion, and it is just that, My Opinion. I hope this helps those who are so afflicted, to overcome their insufferable cases of ignorance.

I almost forgot to clarify, I am no better than anyone else. My life style choices are just that, my life style choices.

And all in 300 words or less, THANK YOU!

I totally agree with Joe – Good man or not this man was caught and now he is convicted! No one know what really goes on behind another person’s closed doors and everyone has secrets – some are just bigger than others and some are immoral and some are illegal and some are both

Was the court able to determine the ages of the “children” in the photos? Were they teens? How can one tell if someone is 17 vs 19 by a photo. Unless they were pictures of small children. Quite a big difference in these, they should say what exactly they found so people would know if its little children or just accidentally underage age girls, and if so, how they determined their age
