Man faces child-porn charges

A Tallahassee man was arrested Tuesday and charged with having child pornography. He faces charges for 89 counts of sexual performance by a child, a third-degree felony, according to a news release from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Larry Ball, 61, was arrested after an investigation began last August, when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received information on Ball through their "CyberTipline" from Yahoo.com, according to the release. The tip said 23 images suspected to depict child pornography had been uploaded to Ball's Yahoo account. Using the Child Victim Identification Program of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, FDLE helped identify 10 different children depicted in Ball's images. Ball was taken to the Leon County Jail.

Yeh it is sickening how it's popping up everwhere, almost every week there's at least one story about it.

Also, that link is dead that you posted.

 

There was a second attempted abduction of a child 2 minutes away from where my boys live in England (and they live in a reasonably nice neighborhood). In fact, it was right outside the house where my son and I lived when he was 3.

*Shudders*

Bring castration back!

 

Lev that is really scary. I guess its a good thing that there is an awareness for abductions, online sex soliciting for kids and child porn. I mean it just seems to be out of control right now. I guess knowlege is power though and if kids know better they will not allow it to happen. If kids are armed with resources like Cybertipline that is mentioned in the article and they have open lines of communication with parents then hopefully they will not be vicitims.
