Daniel Tocci’s attorney had previously argued that the case should be dismissed because “all the evidence" stemmed from his Capitol siege case.

    Same people who approve the passing of an Idaho law that is now in effect banning all trans people from any public restrooms other than their assigned birth sex.

    They need you to look at innocent people and hate them, so they can keep diddling kids in the shadows.

      Yeah almost like there’s some sort of saying about this, in the vein of bird comradery. Or maybe shitty people who do shitty things attract each other.

    Tocci’s laptop "contained extremely disturbing images of violent acts, such as a cat being killed by being put in a blender, a male shooting a female in the head, a dog being beaten to death, and severed heads and limbs, as well as images and videos of bestiality.”

    Why? It’s not double jeopardy. It’s a new charge based on legally collected evidence.

    I seem to remember seeing other stories like this about Jan 6 rioters and child porn. WTF is wrong with people?

      Yet another case of… if you do it a little you get the book, if you do it a lot you get a slap on the wrist.

      I distinctly remember other cases where EVERY image/video got a separate charge…

      A man pardoned by President Donald Trump for his actions on Jan. 6 has been sentenced for possessing more than 100,000 child sexual abuse images and videos discovered in connection with his Capitol riot case.

      100,000 charges doesn’t seem to add up to 4 years in any way.

      Federal prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo in the child pornography case that, in addition to the child sex abuse material, Tocci’s laptop "contained extremely disturbing images of violent acts, such as a cat being killed by being put in a blender, a male shooting a female in the head, a dog being beaten to death, and severed heads and limbs, as well as images and videos of bestiality.”

      Feels like that should have factored into sentencing as well. Although now as I think of it… all of that is just a regular day on the old 4chan. Although saving them for later is definitely excessive.

        Jfc. There is nothing that makes my blood boil more than torture of innocent animals and children.

        I’ve also seen local no-name pedos get 20+ years for less than 20 images/charges. Seriously, why do economy-sized buckets of horror net a discount on justice? Fucking disgraceful.

        Justice would be this dude taking a trip through a blender. At the very least, 25 to life.

        Yeah that’s definitely just your run-of-the-mill fucked up Internet shit. But even that stuff doesn’t involve kids.

        But all that, with 100,000 pictures and videos? That seems like a huge number of files to collect of anything. Was he hosting a site that people uploaded this stuff too? Or did he just torrent a 4chan dump or something and get all of the worst of the Internet in one go?
