Hmm…. I wonder how much our government paid/bribed him to come up with this great idea.

Okay, so he’s 23 and, therefore, probably in college. He was charged with “possessing pedophilia” (however one does that?) So how are his fellow college students at risk if he is into little kids?? I’m just saying.
