And that’s how a messed up society can ruin a reputation by fostering animosity towards one individual for a mistake he made. Got to love that he officially never had possession of anything, but his attempt still landed him in hot water. Oh how old exactly was the person he tried to get materials depicting a sexual performance of that individual? The article says under 16, but that could mean 15, 14, 13, 12, 11 or younger. Considering it was a sexual performance that indicates the individual knew they were doing something sexual (stripping, masturbating, etc…). Finally this would be really sad if the performance was a self recording and that person did not get into trouble or worse if he was caught in a sting operation with no actual minor involved.
