@cult_of_philanthropy - You may have noticed, I think this sub has great value. One big illustration of how tough it is to get these people. So much manpower, time, effort... decent human beings required to watch this horror for hours on end. Not to mention, the expense, to save this one little boy, must have been staggering. Thanks for posting, this deserves many more upvoats.

RELATED ARTICLES: I wondered what happened to the other child rapers involved in this horror show. I came up short on information about all the convictions and sentencing, but here are links to some related articles.

Man sentenced for using son in child-porn conspiracy | USA Today | June 28, 2013

Excerpts: INDIANAPOLIS -- A man who made his young adopted son available to at least eight other people for sex was sentenced to 40 years in prison Friday. Mark J. Newton, 42, an American who had been living in Australia, was handed the maximum sentence after pleading guilty to conspiracy to sexually exploit a minor and conspiracy to posses child pornography. Federal Judge Sarah Evans Barker said she accepted the plea agreement because the crime was too horrific for a jury.

Records in the case had been sealed since Newton was charged in February 2012. Also facing charges in the case are Peter Truong, 36, an Australian citizen identified in court records as Newton's "domestic partner;" John R. Powell, 41, of Florida; and Jason Bettuo, 36, a resident of Illinois. Truong has pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing on charges of conspiring to sexually exploit a child, as well as charges of possessing child pornography. Bettuo has filed a petition in federal court expressing his intent to enter a plea of guilty, and Powell's case is still pending as he awaits trial.

Newton and Truong were arrested in California in early 2012.

Former Cape lawyer ring leader in global child porn case | NBC2 (Florida) | Updated: Oct 13, 2013 07:10 PM

Excerpts: John Powell - or "Rex" as people call him - had a dark side no one knew about. ... Court documents detailed the supposed global sex operation - revealing Powell would travel to foreign countries just to have sex with children. Indiana investigators are calling the former Cape Coral attorney a ring leader in the global child sex operation dating back to 2009.

"As a lawyer, I'm sure other attorneys [and] every other person in this community, you have to be shocked and sickened by this," said Cape Coral attorney Stuart Pepper. Pepper first heard about the child pornography charges against Powell in 2011. Powell was officially charged in 2012. "For about a year and a half, this case was completely under the radar for the entire country. ... what is even more surprising is that not even the attorneys who knew Powell best had any idea what was going on. ... Powell and the two other men used a high definition camera to video record the sexual acts. "This man was literally a criminal mastermind," said Pepper.

Bettuo has been sentenced to 25 years' jail.

Broward man sentenced for role in international child porn ring | July 17, 2014 | Sun Sentinel

Excerpt: Investigators found numerous videos and photographs that showed both [Robert] Revay and Truong abusing the boy over time and Revay "can be heard narrating and directing Truong, as Truong engages in sexual abuse of [the child]. ... "It does the people I've harmed no good to say that I'm sorry, but I am," Revay told the judge in his only public remarks about the case. Under the terms of Revay's plea agreement, prosecutors and his defense lawyer David Seltzer recommended that U.S. District Judge Robert Scola Jr. sentence Revay to 15 years in federal prison. Scola told Revay that a compelling argument could be made to impose an even longer prison sentence on him but he agreed to follow the lawyers' recommendation.

34:42 - The point where the investigation ends and Peter Truong's imprisonment begins.

The following quotes might help to illustrate why I'm convinced that scientific studies, apologist meanderings... the things that are aimed at understanding the psychology of pedophiles - will be used primarily as a tool to protect, defend, promote, and normalize pedophilia - and secondarily, if ever, used as a weapon to STOP pedophilia.

34:46

Narrator: ...in court, he (Truong) said he was sorry.

Steve DeBrota, Indianapolis Assistant US Attorney: It's FOR OTHERS TO JUDGE whether you want to accept, whether he's sorry that he did that stuff, or he's sorry he got caught. ... I think he's sorry he got caught.

35:47

Narrator: She [Defense Attorney Angelyn Gates (sp?)] says Peter Truong has undergone a massive transformation.

Gates: He's completely on the scale of it's wrong. All of it.

Narrator: That's a HUGE, 180.

Gates: That's correct, hence the reason why HE'S gone through so much psychological trauma, and suicide attempts.*

40:23

Narrator: Based on the conversations he had with Peter Truong, Dr. Halon believes he [Truong] ISN'T a pedophile. If Peter Truong isn't a pedophile, what is he, and who is he attracted to? Because he engaged sexually with a child.

Dr. Robert Halon, Psychiatrist, the first doctor to assist Peter Truong in prison: From what I understand about Peter, his sexual gratification comes from being with older men... and I really DON'T have a sense that, on his own, he would EVER be interested in a child sexually.

Narrator: And he explains his sexual interaction with children as?

Haron: Make the children happy like Mark said, and because Mark liked it ?

41:40

Narrator: Peter Truong told us that he too is a victim. Indoctrinated by members of The Man-Boy Love Network when he was sixteen.

Peter Truong, Self-proclaimed child torture victim, Self-confessed child torturer: Their [the man-boy rapist network] philosophy was that children are sexual beings, and that it's not wrong for adults to have sex and have relationships with young boys.

Narrator: And did you accept that? Did you agree?

Peter Truong: Yes, I did. They were very convincing. They pointed me to different PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES, different BOOKS, different ARTICLES. They even pointed me to HISTORY.... *after all this happened in history, that it's the right thing, it's not bad, it's what they wanted. It's good for them. And THIS was drummed into my head.

So Sad

That poor adorable little boy! His soul has been ripped and his psyche scarred for life.

"Brady Bunch family?" Really? TWO FAGGOTS raising a child?!

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND THIS HOMO CRAP IS DESTROYING SOCIETY.

Hi! I created the following archive link(s) for this voat submission:

I think there was an instagram post of him implying he was about to have his way with his goddaughter, then 15 minutes later commented "...and done", and his friends were saying good job

Freaking disgusting. Death sentence to them both. Then they try to justify Peter Trong's involvement. Too bad. I don't feel sorry for him. Disgusting pigs. If they let this get this guy off it will be a travesty, and this female lawyer disgusts me too.
