Pedophilia

"Girls Gone Wild" pornographer faces 10 years in prison

I asked not long ago why guys suspected of dowloading child pornography end up in jail yet Joe Francis, who is actually making the porn (allegedly by not knowing some of the girls were 15 years old) or by using it as a marketing metaphor (young nubile girls wild with sex), gets scot free.

Well, he may not have gotten nailed for child pornography and sexual assault but he got nailed by tax evasion --and faces 10 years in prison if found guilty :

The indictment of 34-year-old Joe Francis Wednesday follows his arrest by federal marshals Tuesday on a contempt-of-court citation stemming from a civil case in Florida, where he is being held without bail, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Wednesday's charges alleged that Francis deducted more than $20 million in false business expenses on corporate income tax returns filed in 2002 and 2003 by two of his companies, Mantra Films Inc. of Santa Monica and Sands Media Inc. of Nevada. The charges were revealed in press releases issued by the Justice Department and the Internal Revenue Service.

According to the L.A. Times, the alleged improper deductions included $3.78 million that was counted as a business cost when it was actually spent to build a residence in Punta Mita, Mexico. In addition, $10.4 million in "false consulting services" was deducted, as was a $500,000 false insurance expense, according to the indictment cited by The Times.

Why isn't the producer of "Girls Gone Wild" in jail for making millions on pedophilia?

Joe Francis, "child" pornographer From Maker of 'Girls Gone Wild' Runs Afoul of Law on Minors - Los Angeles Times:

Joe Francis and the Santa Monica-based company he built on soft-core "Girls Gone Wild" videos pleaded guilty Tuesday to violating federal laws designed to prevent the sexual exploitation of children and agreed to pay fines totaling $2.1 million.Under the terms of a deal with the Justice Department, Francis agreed to personally pay a $500,000 fine to settle charges in Los Angeles that he failed to keep records of the ages and identities of the women who appeared in his films. As a result, Francis said in a statement, footage of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct appeared in at least two DVDs he released.

Link Do a Google News search on child pornography and you will get thousands of news articles about (mostly) men being thrown in jail for being consumers of "child pornography".

Is it me or is there a surge of women pedophiles in the United States?

While perusing my homeotwn's New York Daily News, I came across yet another disturbing report of female pedophilia :

[via New York Daily News - Breaking News]:

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) -- When a 16-year-old boy rolled into his driveway with a Mercedes-Benz no one had ever seen before, his mother got suspicious.

After some questioning, the teenager told his mother that the car was a gift from Lisa Frodella, 39. Police said their investigation revealed the married mother had two sexual encounters with the youth at Long Island hotels in March and April.

Frodella surrendered to police Wednesday on charges of rape and a criminal sexual act. A judge set bail at $40,000 cash, or $120,000 bond.

Is it me or the numbers of women accussed of these cases are growing by the minute? I mean, just in the last year I've heard of jaw-dropping charges against women, some of the cases happening here in New York City and involving public school teachers (yet another reason to homeschool).

It's not everyday I read that bastion of online conservatism, but World Net Daily has an improbable list of women pedophiles; including the recently notorious Mary Kay Le Tourneau. Crime Library, by the way, has a hideously pulp fictioney account of her life and the infamy surrounding her own family's sexploits. It creeps me out her bio reads like a five cent novel.

Words to live by

"There has never been a just one, never an honorable one - on the part of the instigator of the war. I can see a million years ahead, and this rule will never change in so many as half a dozen instances. The loud little handful - as usual - will shout for the war. The pulpit will - warily and cautiously - object - at first; the great, big, dull bulk of the nation will rub its sleepy eyes and try to make out why there should be a war, and will say, earnestly and indignantly, "It is unjust and dishonorable, and here is no necessity for it."

Then the handful will shout louder.

A few fair men on the other side will argue and reason against the war with speech and pen, and at first will have a hearing and be applauded; but it will not last long; those others will outshout them, and presently the anti-war audiences will thin out and lose popularity. Before long you willsee this curious thing: the speakers stoned from the platform, and free speech strangled by hordes of furious men who in their secret hearts are still at one with those stoned speakers - as earlier - but do not dare to say so.

And now the whole nation - pulpit and all - will take up the war-cry, and shout itself hoarse, and mob any honest man who ventures to open his mouth; and presently such mouths will cease to open. Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception."
