It does appear to be a lot of to do about not much at all in this case. If the guy hadn't gone to LTD three times in histronics, there'd likely be no story. One photo (which we'll never know the details of ),without more context ( how did he arrive by it, etc. ) should not get someone a prison sentence. If his home computer is lousy with hardcore CP then go for it, otherwise...

This whole what came first, abuse or demand for abuse, and how much abuse would be reduced if there were no demand for photos, is a question that may never be answered. From what I've read, many of those who view were themselves victims of abuse. So how would you classify them? Perps and victims? Is it right that they should they be treated worse than people who actually commit physical acts against children ( and adults )? Like I said before when emotion rules the day, logic doesn't have a prayer.
