Aside from the other matters he was jailed for, and rightful so...how can anyone here not view this as child pornography, THE MAN IS GETTING OFF TO HIS DAUGHTERS FACE...not her body, but her face and clearly because of the other things he has been convicted off he wants to have sex with his 13 year old daughter. Where do any of you not see this as wrong? He is jerking off to her face. WTF is wrong with you? What is wrong with the court that allowed this to happen?!

Here's the thing, this may not be breaking the law, but its encouraging behaviour that will make him break the law.
If he's doing this it means he has sexual fantasies about his daughter. Up until this point he was only keeping them in his mind, but now he's putting them into the outside world, and actually acting upon them. This is just one part, he'll see that this is OK, and eventually, probably try and molest his daughter.

when you were 14 yrs old and jerked off in your
bed at night to the thoughts of your 13 yr old
girlfriend or a hot girl at school, were you not
committing the same offense?
Your 13 yr old gf was underage.
Should somebody have fed you to the
hogs then ???

between birth and present day,
about 99% of us have committed
this very same act. Yet some
stand up high and mighty and have
a holier than thou attitude.

You REALLY think there is no difference bewtween a 16 year old boy and a 40 year old man?

really?

The guy is clearly messed up, but I tend to be pragmatic about these things.

If he has a fantasy but is using this as a way of getting out that desire and it results in him NOT touching his daughter, I don't think he should be punished.

Actually touching his daughter would be a different matter.

Problem being we don't know if he's taken it too far or not and to monitor him becomes an ethical concern in itself.

If his daughter now knows what he's been doing then she is gonna be all kinds of messed up too.

Big difference between two teens and a father and daughter?? c'mon use a little common sense.

It s a sad day, when drawings of children having sex, are accepted,and not looked upon as a crime.

Its a sad day,when a father, can abuse his the picture of his daughters face in such a way,and its not a crime.

*sighs* But some police find it mush more criminal to make some smart ass remark to a police officer, and that warrants an arrest.

I would guess technically he didn't break any laws. So where does it go from here? Do they moniter his internet activity to wait on him to cross the line?

Offically no...however, I imagine children services may be getting involved and "suggesting" therapy for him in order not to make his life a hell.

There is alot of threads about how intrusive the government is getting. So on one hand we know this guy has problems but hasn't broken the law. If or when he does, it will be really bad for his daughter. On the other hand, the constitution still applies to him.

Psychologically speaking, fathers are very often attracted to their daughters...its a biological thing. Yes, consciously people will refuse to admit that, however, it is what it is...happens in the animal kingdom, and we are animals.
The difference between us and animals is we don't mount em when we start to notice their beauty..sounds a bit big brother, but this guy probably just needs social conditioning to keep his natural feelings bound up a bit better. The guy was just expressing some desires in a relatively harmless way, however, he crossed a bit of a social line by doing even that, and should gain control...I mean, if he can do that, then the slippery slope will dictate that he will then be looking at underage porn, then perhaps trying to sneak peeks in the shower, etc etc etc..will build until there is a chance of a victim. So ya, getting caught is a good thing for him..early enough to get help without having a scarlet letter for life.

I think its important overall in society to stop denying feelings but instead, accept them and control them. denial only leads to unhealthy outcomes.

Excuse me??? What right does he have to use someone elses face on another body to get sexual gratification ?? Anybody's face? And yes she will be all messed up, because I'm sure she knows.

WOW, anyone who can say its really not that bad ,cause he wasn't ACTUALLY touching his daughter..well..lets just say they are suspect to me.

Bottom line as I see it.
The man in question has done nothing wrong from a legal standpoint as thankfully thought crime is not illegal until acted upon.
Otherwise I would have been charged with murder a million times.
The daughter must be told of this "pornography" if she does not already know.
From there the daughter will decide the mans punishement, if he will be her "father" anymore.
The daughter has ultimate authority here to see or not to see her parent.

And for those who argue murder vs rape, I could find many ways to justify a murder, I cannot think of one for rape.
Plus how do criminals in prison view the two acts?
One makes you a celebrity and the other gets you raped.
Just my 2 cents.
