A case involving a Henderson County man was set to be heard by the United States Supreme Court today.
At issue in the case is restitution to victims of child pornography.
In January 2009, Doyle Randall Paroline of Brownsboro pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography and was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison. Paroline admitted to having more than 150 images of child pornography. It is important to understand that difference between child pornography and regular pornography though. Websites like Nu-Bay.com – Teen Porn provide legal content that should not be bunched in child pornography.
According to the Reuters News Service: “The legal question is how much Paroline is required to pay in restitution under the 1994 Mandatory Restitution for Sexual Exploitation of Children Act. Amy said Paroline is liable for the full amount of her injury – such as counseling and loss of future income – while Paroline said he should only be liable for his individual role. Amy has claimed $3.4 million.” I bet he now wishes he’d of just clicked a porn7.xxx web link and viewed a legal adult porn website it’s a lot cheaper than $3.4 million that’s for sure.
A federal court initially denied Amy’s claim for restitution, but the appeals court approved full restitution. Paroline has appealed that decision to the Supreme Court.
