A lolicon who successfully persuaded an eleven-year-old girl to send him naked pictures of herself faces charges; unusually, he utilised a PlayStation 3 to perpetrate the crime.
The man (24) faces three felony charges, including online solicitation of a minor and promotion of child pornography. One of the charges carries a possible 99-year prison sentence.
His modus operandi is one with which police are familiar:
“He ‘groomed’ the child for quite a long time. He befriended her and pestered her for pictures, being a friend and pestering her at the same time.”
Police explain his use of the PS3:
“People don’t realize how the PlayStation is like a regular computer … [he] threw his old computer out because he didn’t need it.”
Sony declined to comment on the case.
The mass media keenly highlights the terrible dangers inherent in Internet chat. Online predators, it is said, will use any means to lure children into their wicked clutches, including all manner of Internet-capable devices, necessitating unceasing vigilance.
All the major Internet-capable consoles include a full suite of parental controls. Most sources agree that the vast majority of such offences occur offline, within the family.

I never knew this could happen in PS3.. I think I better got to have one then...
Deffinately getting a PS3 now.
Surprisingly many that do now own a PS3 here, considering that gaming is clearly in the interest of an otaku.
My PSN ID is Yu**su**, if you are a like-minded intelligent being you should be able to realize what it is.
Sony Headquarters:
An excited statistician runs to his chef, holding a fresh print. Caughing and breathing he holds it up and says:"It's..It's incredible *breath out* our sales record a huge jump since Mar 17, 2009 00:39 JST"
The chefs eyes widen:"WOW good job what did our advertising department do?"
..."nothing".
The Chef (possesing the synonym of Artefact without anyone knowing) becomes silent and goes back to his computer, still grinning at his genius News-Article.
People prefer to play a system that actually has games, like the 360 or the wii.
(Too hard not to troll)
with you there...
I would glady expose myself for a PS3.
Thats why i love my PS3!
Well, i may just got the idea to buy a PS3 now~
Wow artefact, that's a nice pic
*Right click> Save Image As.. *
Wrong. Click to enlarge, THEN right click save image as...
btw I agree, it's a nice pic. What is it she's holding? A gameboy SP? Mario limited edition perhaps?
Actually you need "Save Link As".
Depends on the program. With Firefox, its just right-click image and "Save Link As". I don't know what retarded IE users do.
I demand we ban the PS3 because it can be used as a child grooming tool!!!11
"PS3 banned in the UK!" Just wait for it.
"children banned in the UK!" what?!...just wait for it.
"interaction with other people due to creation of children banned in the UK!" just wait for it...
"UK is now devoid of life."
just wait for it...
i was like "wtf, 99 years?"
then i read the tags.
don't know why, but i thought it was japan and somehow the punishment felt weird.
...99Years, isn't that basically life in prison?
Actually life sentences are somewhere from 40 to 50 years. That's what people can get multiple life sentences.
sarcams detected! ;P
still, how is it PS3 is like a regular computer? didnt own one so I dont know.
You can install your own OS eg.linux, windows
PS3 is like a HTPC (well, to me, coz i don't just game on it). And not including the fact that it can run Linux.
crap like this was bound to happen sooner or later
just like any other minors, will that girl be charged for CP distribution?
She is a damned pedophile!
あのロリコンめ！
ROFL, your kidding right? This is America: the pedophile gets max sentence, the child is hailed as a hero.
but what about "megan's law"...
Stick with 2D!
And that's exactly why it's stupid to let your children use the internet.
But in this case, the lolicon is hardly at fault. She gave him her picture for free. No violence, rape whatsoever. Or can a little girl imprison every man just by giving him a naked picture of herself? o.O
In the U S of A, this is possible.
I've read this from DailyTech, they said not only picture, but she also 'performed' for him using webcam.

Well, that is great and all, but it was her own free will, wasn't it? After all there was no way for him to force her to do anything by means of physical action and it's definitely not his fault for her playing some video games online. Her parents are at fault for letting her online without the proper surveillance.
he properly said shit like, "i know where you live!"
Wait a minute... those are all NDS cartridges on the floor, and she's playing a GBA-SP.
No those are GBA cartridges i had 1 b4
lol wut
Also, there's a pizza in this picture. Are you implying that loli liek pizza or something? Blasphemy.
That was one of the first things I noticed. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who saw this blatant error on the artist's part.
All lolicons must get a ps3 now :D
Amen xD
Time for the Feds to add PS3 in their confiscation list
That would be a reason to go to the gov't auctions, for confiscated PS3s that is.
Why didn't you use a PS3 themed picture? The picture you used has a GBA SP, Wii, PS2 and Gamecube but no PS3.
There's no Wii or GC in there.
And that's clearly a last-gen pic.
Tried finding one lately?
That's not a lolicon, that's a 3d pig disgusting pedophile.
Same thing, depending on where you are. In Japan lolicon is used as pedophile, as lolicon = lolita complex.
That dude's an idiot, and that "loli" is an even bigger idiot for sending him shit in the first place.
He saw her naked? So what's the big deal? Why people all over the world are so itchy about such trivial matters? It's dirty and sexual? Gimme a break, sex is good!
If I were a girl I woulnd give a shit about some douchebag watching my naked pics.
wouldn't*
fixed
It will happen on a Nintendo..... =)
shit, I meant never happen*
Lolis playing PS3? Would have thought this would happen on a Wii.
you cant play with anyone on a wii. this is impossible to happen, you cant even send pictures as far as i know. i believe you will be able to voice chat but you need a certain device and the friend code of said loli. so in other words you need to know loli to play with her.even then you cant get her to send pics.
I think you can email and send pictures using a Wii, but you still have to get their code and be friended back as far as I know.
Basically they eat so much years not because of what they did but because of what they might do.
He saw a naked picture. So what. Big deal.
But the law reacts that way because there thought works this way.
"If he wanted to see a naked picture of an 11 year old, then that means his a pedophile that even wants to fuck little girls. So that's what he wants to do. Let's put him in jail and show him what we think of his intensions." Basically the law is right 99% of the times in thinking that way.
But if someone is an exception that just wants to see the photo or the girl be her self send him the photo and nothing more then he is screwed.
"Basically the law is right 99% of the times in thinking that way."
So, Minority Report is an accurate reflection of the future of USA law enforcement I suppose...
As a lolicon, I take offence to being grouped with such idiots.
Also, this guy is clearly just a pedophile.
Same thing. Get over it.
i own a PS3 and a PC. but he got 99 years i don't see how that works. so you have pictures of naked children and you get 99 years wow thats more then killing a person.
This happened in Texas?
He was charged in Texas.
That's what you get for using a broken system. Nintendo on the other hand is ftw
what an idiot...
you are NOT anonymous when you use PS3 or XBOX network!
lolamierkkka
99 years for something like this, seriously american law is so fucked up.
Nah, just Texas and the general South. I'm from there, and people there generally are retarded and it shows with stuff like this. While I think the guy needs at least a few years behind bars 99 years is a bit extreme. Won't be long before it's the death penalty for all felonies. It'll be like having our own little China right in our backyard.
Man, he didn't kill her. He didn't even rape her. A 99 year sentence? WTF?
ok he deserves to get punished but 99 years is too much.
No chance of learning from his mistake and coming back into to society being normal then maybe.
But yes if he then breaks another law then he should get punished again and back to prison.
Nobody can actualy know about these things.
Some can be normal after that and other can't,that is why you should get those who break the law.
He deserves the 99 years of jail time for not using PC+SSL+Proxy. Stupidity is the greatest crime.
Seriously through. 99 years for convincing some dumb kid to send him naked pictures is retarded. She and her parents are just as guilty as he is here. That prosecutor is going to fail big time if he pursues such sentence.
he shoulda gotten death. cheaper and faster.
odds are he'd be dead before 99 yrs. not to mention raeped inside and made into someones bitch.
i take i back. 99 yrs is fine too.
Now I have to get myself a PS3.
"Online predators, it is said, will use any means to lure children into their wicked clutches, including all manner of Internet-capable devices, necessitating unceasing vigilance."
Ban all them smartphones, they're dangerous.
99 years? What the hell? That's an absurdly strong sentence for such an offense.
99 years for getting naked pics over a PS3 connection versus a 10-20 year sentence for raeping the girl.
Nice fucking logic right there.
might as well pin her down and take 10-20 years
It seems like people leave their brains somewhere else when a crime involves children.
How do you think UNICEF can operate otherwise?
I never think that ps3 could do that...
Maybe he must introspect him self at the jail...
Hahaha
He'll get introspected all right.
In the hypothetical case that I request images to a loli, How can the U.S. justice catch me if I am of the third world?.
maybe I will change my nick to "Lolipredator" when I buy my PS3 xD
better die than 99 years stuck in a cell die..rotting ronerly D :
lol ..at the girl
just as planned mewheheh
Nice, Texas represent.
D: @ Texas :/
Anyone read this on Kotaku first? God I lol'd so hard at the reaction of the first comment over there.
Anyway, looks like it's time to get a PS3.
Why can't lolicons keep it strictly 2 dimensional? It makes us look bad, god damn it.
Mmmmmm I learned something today. Hehehe.
Damn, 11yo lil' gal owns a PS3 while most of us adults don't.
IN AMERCA
Good thing im an eurofag. When the simple posession of loli will get illigel and branded cp by the law (which will also happen sooner or later in the US with or without some faggot republican president, face it), I will pay my few thousand euro fine while you can enjoy your prison rape for a decade or more and be branded as a full-fledged pedo in the public opinion which will be known by everybody around you.
I think lolicon, as in 2D, is more protected in the States than it is in the UK and Canada, both of which seem to have laws on the books specifically outlawing the stuff. In the US, the law is much more vague on the status of lolicon, and I can still see the First Amendment holding up as a defense of its legality.
Of course, none of that will stop the post office from confiscating your doujins and possibly getting authorities involved over some drawings a sweaty guy made in his tiny Japanese apartment for a small amount of money, but who imports that stuff anyway?
all i can say is leave the kids alone
This is living! and in 4D to boot! :)
Way to make Macguyver proud...
well i think this charges r stupid, i mean, i too am against child pornography but its not like the girl was forced to do anything and shes 11years i think she knows whats right and wrong at least, if she doesnt its her parents fault for not educating her so. but anyway what i realy think that is stupid is the sentence. FOR GOD SAKE what the idea of giving 99 YEARS of prision to a 24 years guy? r they expecting the guy to last 99 years more? worst even, in a jail? 60/65 years is already so much time not to mention 99 i mean can u imagine a 84 years old geezer in jail shiting is diapers!?
No, I'm pretty sure that it's his fault for asking for the pictures.
Though you're right that that doesn't make everyone else blameless.
Where were the parents in supervising their child? Where was her knowledge of predators using the internet? How is nudity pornography? Why are we allowing bad parents to have no accountability?
"How is nudity pornography?"
So when can i hook up with you for a picture session of YOUR children?
I by god hope yours was just a troll post if you actually believe this should not be a crime.
Hm. They mention everything but how he got caught. Maybe her parents found the pics?
sand thing is that you dont get even half of sentence if you kill same 11 year old
