USA: No Trial Needed for Lolicon Life Imprisonment

The US Supreme Court has ruled that a law which allows “sexually dangerous” prisoners to be jailed forever without trial does not violate the Constitution.
The case centres on Graydon Comstock, who was convicted of possessing child pornography and sentenced to three years imprisonment. Immediately prior to this sentence he served a separate sentence for engaging in lewd acts with a minor.
Six days prior to the end of his sentence, the government branded him a “sexually dangerous” paedophile who might reoffend, and denied him release, placing him into indefinite “civil commitment” in a federal prison.
He has since spent nearly three years in prison despite having been convicted of no further crime, and having served his sentence.
Release of such “committed” prisoners is possible only if they are deemed to be no longer dangerous – without a treatment program recognised as being capable of this, their imprisonment effectively becomes indefinite.
The law responsible for extending this practice to the federal level, the 2006 Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, was soon challenged by prisoners now being denied release indefinitely, eventually reaching the Supreme Court.
Supreme Court justices finally ruled 7 to 2 in favour of the law:
“It is necessary and proper for Congress to provide for the civil commitment of dangerous federal prisoners.”
Democrats are delighted by the victory – Obama even recently promoted the lady who argued for indefinite sentences on behalf of the federal government, Elena Kagan, to the Supreme Court herself.
She is on record as having argued that the government should be able to restrict any speech it considers “harmful,” irrespective of the First Amendment
A Democratic senator holds forth in support of the decision:
“The process to enact this law to protect our children from those who would do them harm was difficult. I am heartened to see an overwhelming majority of the Supreme Court uphold this important child protection law.”
Some states already operate similar laws, but this decision ensures the federal government can now freely override sentences throughout the land.
The solicitor general for Kansas, Stephen McAllister, a supporter of the law, suggests that allowing indefinite civil commitment for all kinds of criminals might now be possible:
“Constitutionally, it might be possible. I don’t have a constitutionally limiting line for what kinds of mental disorders might be permissible and what [might] not. If they lead to danger to others, potentially, they could be covered under such a law.”

Lady Justice may be blind, but her scales let her know when enough gold has been put forth so she can reach a decision.
oh god! PLEASE TELL ME MY EYES ARE LYING TO ME!
whats the point in locking them up forever if they are never going to be freed.might as well just kill them so we can stop wasting our tax money keeping pieces of trash alive
This isn't really news; the U.S.A. has had, far and away, the largest incarcerated population of any non-totalitarian nation in the world.
It is, of course, bullshit, but it's the type of bullshit that's been foisted on us for quite some time now with three strikes programs, mandatory sentences, etc, etc. The fact that the individuals in question are generally poor and unable to make even the most basic of attempts to fight the process is why you never hear about it on the news.
Fail: it`s very uncertain that USA is a non-totalitarian nation.
You stupid fuckface. You don't know what a totalitarian state is.
Time to boycott America. Then again, China is a good tool to destroy America.
America, f**k no!
You're an idiot.
You're upset that you might be imprisoned indefinately if you get caught with child pornography or commit multiple rapes/sexual offenses?
Try that in China and you'll be EXECUTED.
Fucking brainless moron.
Actually, no, you wouldn't be. The fact is that China is fine with those things as long as you are not deemed 'dangerous to society' because you are a capitalist or something similar.
I WISH that the pedophiles would boycott America. Then again, we can't always get what we with for.
For those who watch/read/enjoy - animated/drawn/fictional CP as a fetish, why not just stop and find another pleasure for those desires?
I very well understand how wrong this case is, but my point is if your not mentally unstable(pedophile) you have the choice to keep going or not right.
So my question is, is it really worth being persecuted like this? He could have avoided this all together.
And say what you will, I think some lolicons out there do use fictional lolis as a placebo/ substitute to prevent them from actually doing it one night.
Not trying to belittle just my opinion, but i don't believe there isn't a single person out there that doesn't. Can't agree on that, it just goes to show the insecurity.
Just wondering how anons/users would respond from all the sides. For those in the US, why not stop whining and protest if this means the end of the world for you?
To say that lolicon is more dangerous than a gangsta is LOL. Anyone in a gang should be put in jail. Gang members have a higher chance of killing someone, or at least kicking someones ass, but i guess that doesn't matter because he's doesn't have lolicon which dont hurt anyone. but 99% of people who like lolicon do not molest children. believe it or not though, 100% of those who do molest children have normal porn, and 50% of them are bible-thumpers. so my point is that targeting those people who watch lolicon is nothing but bullying, which is what lead most lolicon fans to it in the first place.
You believe the persecution of lolicons is what lead new fans to the subject okay thats your opionion.
But that's not what I was asking about or my point.
I understand holding this guy any longer is unjust especially when he didn't Do anything.
I also wonder where you get you statistics from, I'm guessing from your mind.
I wouldn't be so arrogant to say this does in fact not happen and this does unless proven otherwise.
I would've never liked lolicon if I was not turned into a social outcast. It is my outlet, and it adds flavor to my creepy amounts of porn (90% of it animated LOL). Society is what bullied me in school just for being asian, all the whiteys deny it, but that's just them covering for themselves. I never hurt nobody, and dont plan on it. All they're doing is wanting to abuse people like me more, and gain 'points' as they have done so their entire lives. This is nothing more than a witch hunt.
It's pathetic to see people like me getting locked up, by our own predators for no damn good reason. I'll be ready when the feds come knocking at my door, nobody expects a lolicon fan to be packing shotguns, rifles, and pistols. I'd rather be dead than be locked up forever for something that's not my fault!
I served this country for 6 years in the military and this is not the america I have envisoned.
ok those stastics arent accurate, but theyre close. I know a ton of lolicon fans, most of them are social outcasts like myself which uses lolicon as an outlet. Looks and penis size do matter, which is why I'm an outcast, those who are different are blind to this for some strange reason.
The lolicon fan has never harmed anyone, in fact, he is the one that was harmed the most by society. He was bullied in school and even the racist system was against him (it exists folks). His only outlet is lolicon, and he has never hurt anyone. Yet society continues to try and hurt him even more, as they have done through his childhood years. Just leave the lolicon fan the FUCK alone you fucking faggots!
This is nothing more than a witch hunt.
"So my question is, is it really worth being persecuted like this?"
Yes. I would go to jail for my belief of expressing anything as long as it doesn't directly harm another human being.
I would go to jail for playing violent video games.
I would go to jail for glorifying national socialism.
I would go to jail for consuming virtual child porn.
And I would go to jail for defending you wanting to do anything of the above.
Containing bad ideas isn't productive, educating people about why they are bad is.
Freedom of speech does not exist to ensure that people can talk about things they agree on, it's there for things they don't.
Yep, the reason that the freedom of speech is there is because sometimes the fact is that the 'minority' are the ones who are actually right on an issue.
I actually just advised myself to do this. Wiped anything that might be considered dangerous and then wiped the free space and all of the references five times. Whatever, it's not worth it right now.
Anon 03:00 this is not a question of pedos only. Wait until today`s McCarthyists come after you, sentence you to prison for whatever reason and keep you there forever, no matter how long it should have been.
Artefact, quote a source for your material in this article. I would especially like to see a reputable source explicitly state that Obama backed this decision being a constitutional law professor.
because lolicon IS pedophile.
Yep, it is. The fact is that if you are a 'lolicon', you most likely ARE attracted to real life children, as I am.... you are just afraid to admit it.
Long live the american Constitution!
wow so many supporters of child pornography in here.
In any fashion, 2d or not its simply wrong. Lock all the pedos up man and throw away the key.
I am not supporting child pornography, let alone molestation of real children. Drawn pictures should not be considered criminal at all. It is also difficult for me to see photos or video of real young persons, not showing any harmful actions against them, as criminal.
But the worst is that a person who already have received her/his punishment after trial, is not let free, if this report is true. There should be a new trial in court, with new evidence, if some is found.
A law system allowing to keep persons in prison without new reason, is on way to dictatorship.
Any convicted person can be held in prison forever despite type of previous crime, if this system can continue.
Just now there is a hysteria about pedophilia, next time this law system can be used against whatever kind of people. Perfect for KKK etc.
Artefact needed to do a little more research before writing this article. He stated that, "He apparently never actually had sex with any children."
Then why was he convicted of indecent liberties? I found this information in a couple of minutes.
The man named in U.S. v. Comstock is now 67. Comstock initially was convicted on two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child. He also pleaded guilty to federal charges of possessing child pornography.

Real sexual offenders (not the sexting teens) do not change they will continue to commit sexual offenses. Chemical castration, therapy or even physical castration does not work. The only real option is to keep them incarcerated so they do not harm anyone else.
I did research the charges - there don't appear to be any readily available details of the original charges, and you did quite well to find that single sentence description of them hidden away there - most reports evidently omitted it. He doesn't even appear in the National Sex Offender Registry (which I checked), although the Kansas registry does list him.
It's still not clear what he actually did, and it doesn't change the fact that he already served that entire sentence.
Risk of recidivism is not a valid basis for extending a sentence indefinitely - 50-60% of US prisoners reoffend after release, so logically all of them should be locked away forever as posing a danger to public safety too?
''50-60% of US prisoners reoffend after release, so logically all of them should be locked away forever as posing a danger to public safety too?''
And to think that 1 in 100 people (!!) in the great land of US and A is ALREADY in the prison.
BTW, why do some scenarios of ''One flew over the Cuckoo’s nest'', ''The Shawshank Redemption'' and ''1984'' cross my mind? All of these aren't horror genres, yet they are much more scary than horror.
Artefact, are you naive enough to think that a dictatorship in progress will keep "publicly available" registers etc. updated & complete for all to see?
Actually, only 50% to 60% of NON-SEXUAL offenders reoffend. For sexual offenders, it's more like 1% or less, although the bullshitters out there keep on trying to say that it's because sexual offenders get 'smarter' about their crimes.... I seriously doubt it!
Looks like I'm moving back to austrailia, the lesser of the 2 evils >_>
Overblown reactionary stuff like this is why I don't usually read the response threads on this site, and why I always take the generally-heavily-slanted news bites on this site with a grain of salt.
So people here are up in arms because of a ruling that allows truly dangerous sexual predators - i.e. the ones most likely to reoffend - to be kept from being a threat to society? Really? Did anyone even bother to look at the facts involved in the ruling, like how the "sexually dangerous" label applies to only 0.7% of all sex offenders in federal custody? That means your typical child pornographer convicted under interstate commerce provisions would have to do something truly egregious for this ruling, and the law it supports, to impact him. (The law, BTW, is aimed at those who have engaged in "sexually violent conduct," amongst other requirements.) The courts and prosecutors aren't going to waste time, effort, and tax dollars trying to commit long-term some Joe Blow who gets convicted of statutory rape for having sex with an underage girl or only gets caught with some child porn; they're going to go after the true monsters, the kinds of people *no one* would want on the street again.
Now, I haven't been able to find out any more details about Graydon Comstock's case, but for this narrowly-used law to be applied to him, there must be something more going on with him and his conviction that we don't know about. Maybe his "receiving child pornography" conviction is just the tip of the iceberg and he truly is a sicko. I find it hard to believe that the Attorney General (who certified Comstock as "sexually dangerous) would have stepped in on this matter without some compelling concern. It's just not worth the time and effort otherwise.
So stop overreacting and examine the issue with some sense, people, instead of just assuming it's the newest attempt to turn the country into a police state.
Yes, because we all know the government and those in power would never take a law intended for one thing and twist it to be used for a completely different thing. Because they have never taken a broadly worded law to sue in a completely unforeseen way in the past. Never. Because we are all safe in the hands of our mighty protectors.
Anonymous, the problem is that the definition of 'sexually dangerous offender' is too goddamned viewpoint and has NEVER been defined!
They could say that everyone on the sex offenders lists is a 'sexually dangerous offender', that every person who looks at lolicon is that, that anyone who even LOOKS at a child is that!
No, it's giving way too much power to the government, which the Founding Fathers specifically said that the government was NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE!
and to think that this was a country where everyone could get treatment and help for issues such as this. i can already imagine the sheer amount of false claims on the horizon.
O cool so i get less time Murdering someone than looking up little child porn? Cool lets go kill people now sounds more logic.
Maybe the US government should change its rules and rethink about it?
LOL... sorry, but I've never heard such a one sided representation of this issue. Read into it people, there's a lot more to this problem then is talked about here.
O.. and make sure those evil democrats(LOL) don't get to you along the way.
Since USA is a country with a two-party political system, both Republicans and Democrats want to enslave all of the American people.
Any USA-ian should leave this country at all cost.
‘Democrats are delighted by the victory – Obama even recently promoted the lady who argued for indefinite sentences on behalf of the federal government, Elena Kagan, to the Supreme Court herself.’
And here I thought Barack Obama was just as bad as George Bush. I was wrong - he's a lot worse. How is that when the Democrats win the election we get a Republican on steroids for president? Well, at least we got ‘change’ all right.
US one step closer to Dictatorship
Maybe I'm misinterpreting something here, but this seems quite distinctly Orwellian to me.
/bush accent: Those paedofilez are terrorists!
GUY WE NEED TO MOVE OUT OF AMERICA BEFORE THE SYSTEM TAKES OVER. This is not a joke people. slowly USA is becoming a land of control and mental slavery.
It strikes me that one can not see the difference between child molestation and drawn pictures.
gg USA.
"She is on record as having argued that the government should be able to restrict any speech it considers “harmful,” irrespective of the First Amendment"
The country's in no danger at all... after all who needs human rights.
At least the USSR used nuthouses to get rid of dissidents, no matter whether they're indeed lunatic (Novodvorskaya) or not (Brodsky). I fail to see what the US as a state gains by doing this.
They are just sacrificing the few for the votes of many. It operates on the same principle of gaybashing. Doesn't do anyone much good but sacrifices few votes to do the 'in' thing of that time.
strange i heard that it was for detainment AFTER the origanel trial. This is wierd.
I see US is trying to imitate China.
America fail yet again.
I live in america.
I view and own loli material.
I find actual children repulsive little bastard that I can't stand to be around and would never do anything to them and I only like drawn loli.
Gov. would never believe me and would destroy my life over drawings of fake girls that is art.
I rot in jail for an undetermined amount of time, and if I get out I am still considered a "sex offender".
Gov. tramples all over our basic rights yet again, boasts about it, and gets away with it worry free.
My hope and what little respect I have for my gov. dies.
Solution: I need to get the fuck out of this shit hole fast.
And go where? Loli material is banned everywhere else in the world except Japan.
You're a fucking moron.
Actually, no, it isn't. It is LEGAL in the United States under federal and state law, unless you are talking about the obscenity laws, which are unconstitutional in and of themselves.
Sweden hasn't banned loli material, neither has Russia, China, etc.
You are dramatically overstating the 'bannedness' of it, and frankly those laws are in violation of human rights in the first place (the right to view what you wish as long as it is not physically harming a REAL LIVING PERSON).
Wow you must be one hell of a pedophile if your only reason to get the hell out is because you're afraid of being caught with your child pornography.
Fucking sicko.
You are now being charged for thinking of doing bad things.
Anyone who still thinks the good ol' USA isn't in decline had better think again.This is a very slippery slope that WILL lead to innocent people having (what's left of), their constitutuinal rights violated.
The US is going to more ressemble a Socialist country after the Obama addministration is said and done with it.Why is it they are so fast to limit/take away rights of legal US citizens, but let illegals almost literally get away with everything they do illegally, including existing here illegally.
American justice at its finest.
Wow 19 pages in mere hours.
Remember people, if you would fuck kiddies, or even THINK of fucking kiddies, with pictures or even just with drawings, you might wish to get something else to get off with if you live in the US land of the free.
Because it isn't necessarily the land of the free for everyone.
Or just move to an Islamic country.
You may have to convert to Islam then. They only allow Allah's Faithful to enjoy loli-marriages, not infidels.
I WILL NEVER SEE OR WATCH JAILBAITS AGAIN. hentai is jailbait. lolicon is jailbait.
Not my hentai. I lean towards big, well endowed, wide hipped milfs! See Tetrotodoxin, Nagi Project, Reoparudo, Jeanne DAck etc.
I am aware one day this can be considered as criminal too, if this hysteria about different sexual leanings doesn`t end.
Very bad precedent. It starts with real child pornography possession, then goes to fictional, then goes to "you looked at me funny".
Hey this is cool we can make all terrorist go to jail permanently since we can brand them as sexually dangerous since if we trial them for terrorism it would take too much time and money since no trial is needed if we brand them under it
I have not read any of other comments yet, but i guess there is many raging against Democrats, left and "liberals" about this issue. Do they really think conservative religious right or Republican Party would be any milder in this kind of cases? Of course i myself question the sanity of these laws and even constitution. Who were in power when Adam Walsh Child protection and Safety Act was introduced in 2006?
Answer that and continue your ranting, if you still feel like it.
This is a big mistake by Obama & Co.
Man, this is pretty out of hand for the US. I know that the law sees that loli/shouta can promote pedophilia, but this is too far. Then again, look at it from their perspective, they just want the children to be safe from pedophiles; would you want your child to be molested or raped by some crook? They're not taking any chances to let that happen, but I do think it is bad to throw one in jail just because of a difference in opinion or sexual preference.
Welcome to the United States of Vengeance.
Vengeance, of course, incompatible with Justice. Like the war on terrorism or the death penalty, some of the people who will go down will be the 'worst of the worst' while there will be many not-so-bad and even innocent people whose lives are taken (and in the case of the death penalty, literally).
The majority decision by Alito is just a classic case of intellectual dishonesty in order to reach a political result. But this isn't anything new. The Supreme Court of the USV ALREADY upheld state laws for "civil" incarceration, and ALL 50 states have them. This is just icing on the cake.
The case was not about cruelty in punishment, but what theory the Court could allow federal jurisdiction. This is why Thomas and Scalia were the only dissenters. They're the only ones who stick to the notion that the Constitution limits federal jurisdiction to matters which have an economic impact on interstate commerce or interstate matters.
Obama's new appointee to the Supreme Court made the argument on behalf of the government, so now you know what Obama's legacy is going to be...
Why do I read this blog? It's always full of the same depressing bullshit.
Life sucks.
How can this ever be possible? So if someone wants to ruin my life randomly, he only has to point in my general direction and scream "pedo!" and I'll be arrested (indefinitely) without any kind of trial to allow me to prove my innocence?
Did you even read the article thoroughly? Or did you just skim through the comments?
its be fo' de chilluns yo!
Everyone acting apeshit over this ruling must be a pedophile with an extensive child porn collection.
More like this law is a platform of justification to ban legal porns in America.
Is this really bad news? If so can you explain to me?
US nuke yourself, at least the congress.
I wouldn't want to step into the USA. USA treat legally-entered foreigners like criminals.
America is the village drunk of the world who used to be great now a wasted one.
I don't see a problem with this.
Lolicon, pedo, it's the same thing.
I wish the same law would get passed in my country.
Good job, USA.
Make a law that says any sex offender must either serve life in prison or cut their dick off. Also castrate them as that is where man juice is produced. Castration will weaken them.
having sex with a child of at least 11 or 12 is no bid deal. all these people saying it fucks with the kids head are are right "ONLY IF THERE TALKING ABOUT FORCED SEX OR SEXUAL CONDUCT" if the boy or girl is consenting then who the fuck care's. i started having sex at 11, AN don't say "you were to young to know better" that BS i had a natural drive to do it. yes sec with someone younger the 11ish is bad, only because of possible internal injury to the female. YOU people also say kids need to grow an learn, wht better way then A FREE choice to have sex or sexual conduct. I've read evey comment an the only argument the none pedo's have is FORCED SEX, not freedom of choice. hell if i was 18 an a 13 year old came to me an asked for sex, is that wrong? F no. AS LONG AS ITS NOT FORCED, WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!
You've read every comment? Then you should've read that there are more arguments than "FORCED SEX". Like responsibility for what happens afterward, whether emotionally or physically. You know what's the price of having freedom of choice? It's being responsible enough to accept the consequences of such choices. And you're telling us that the majority of 11 and 12 year olds are already mature enough to accept the repercussions of such responsibility? Fuck you!
tl;dr Stop promoting pedophilia and destroying a child's moral and mental development because you can't rein in your fucking libido. Moron.
This is the greatest perversion of justice since the OJ acquittal.
Amen!
It's a good thing the childpornography law where I live (Holland) specifically states that it's only childpornography if the images are REAL children or LOOK LIKE REAL children. So, me having a thing for Lolicon is perfectly legal, albeit, on the edge of illegal.
until next week when 'they' decide it isn't...
so wait does this mean i can go to jail for having some loli on my computer? god damn im running out of reasons to still live in the USA
I don't know every detail of the U.S. constitution, but if it doesn't cover fair trials for EVERYONE, then that needs to be worked on. Too bad some politicians are working on ways to make the constitution even worse, like those against freedom of marriage. Putting restrictions on free speech based on what the government considers harmful? I thought democrats were supposed to be against this crap!
The democratic party is the go-to party for say one thing, do another, and talk out of both sides of your face. EVERYTHING they do is based on advancing their own political goals.
Republicans had been moving in that direction, they're wedged between wanting to play the same game because of how well it works, but holding back because they're getting elected by having a more stable and honest image.
"...the government should be able to restrict any speech it considers 'harmful', irrespective of the First Amendment"
Who the hell decides the definition of 'harmful'? If I call the Supreme Court a 'bunch of jackasses', I have harmed their dignity. Should I be arrested for it? This is totalitarian crap, People!
There was this law that they can keep sexual offenders indefinitely in prison in Germany, too. Then, some weeks ago, the European Parliament ruled it unconstitutional and it had to be abolished. Some Bavarian politicians' reaction: "We have to pass another law that allows it without violating the European constitution."
Some politicians don't even get it when pushed in their faces... Where's the good old "your country's servant" mentality instead of vote hunting and populism?
great job america great job......lol fail XD
Once again. FACISM. This is supposed to tbe the United States of America. NOT THE UNITED SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA!!!.
fucking politicians dont know fucking shit
This is a strange move for Democrats. I still think the fear of pedophilia in this country is quite an irrational one, considering the stupid police and their sting operations that entice people who would not normally have committed a crime had they not been caught.
Don't they know that paranoia is also a mental disease? Just because everyone is doesn't mean it's right.
Ironically, homosexuality used to be considered a mental disease. What if it had never been stricken from the American psychology books as a mental disease??
People like me would be facing prison in life, like in the Holocaust.
Not saying what some of these pedo whackos do isn't bad or dangerous, but it certainly does not constitute life imprisonment.
America FAILS, as always.
Not to sound too viral markety ...
I live in the UK, and plan on writing a letter to the PM and Deputy PM to see if I can get the lolicon ban repealed.
I'm going to make a petition to accompany it, so, would anyone here sign it when I do? (Regardless of where you live?)
So are you commenters saying that reoffenders and violent rapist should be let go?
hell if it were China, you'd be publicly executed.
but I have to remember that American is treated as the Worlds scapegoat, even though every place has its own set of problems.
In China, you can bribe the police officers for some offenses.
America is a world's scapegoat because it has too much influence around the world.
Americans are devils with human bodies.
I may not be up to date, but in the Constitution doesn't it say that everyone has the right to a fair trial?
Not so if you're a serial hardcore basket case, like a lotta lolicons are these days. Especially the ones who can't see the difference between 2D & 3D & whose margins of self-restraint is gradually crumbling away because they aren't gettin any other than from their calloused slimey paws, its a concern for the parents of any potential victims in the neighborhood where that particular lolicon may be lurking.
So they get picked up and their collections are impounded & burned or shredded.
After appearing before a judge, they get hauled off thrown into a hole and forgotten.
So be more careful of what you're doing and mindful that big brother is looking over your shoulder, especially if you fit the profile.
o.o
Wow. The United States has stepped over the line again. Surprise surprise.
It's quite obvious, since a long time ago. USA goverment wants to get rid of all the pedophiles in its country. No matter if they are really criminals or not, they couldn't care less. The just want them out, and the best way to do that is to make the country completely inhabitable by pedophiles, forcing them to eventualy leave.
Meanwhile policemen can pay real lolis for strip and sexservices and walk out free and dandy and keep even their job if caught.
While someone with some random lolipic from a website in his cache gets lifetime without a trial.
Win. xD You all should really read the whole article about his prior convictions before raging. C:
Sankaku comments miss the point again!
While you are all correct that this law is terrifyingly unconstitutional, the supreme court decision upholding it is not. For some reason, the lawyers for the inmates did not choose to attack this law based on its violations of due process and the myriad other civil rights issues it creates, but instead challenged congress's ability to make such a law on a Federal level. The decision handed down explicitly states that the inmates maintain the right to challenge this idiotic law on the basis of due process violations.
But yeah, USA fail.
