Supreme Court Votes to Limit Damages in Child Porn Cases

In a case that originated in Henderson County, the U.S. Supreme Court this week decided to limit “the amount of damages that those who possess child pornography must pay victims.”

The case involves Doyle Randall Paroline of Brownsboro, who in 2009 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. Paroline was then added to the sex offender registry which restricts him from accessing or possessing any pornographic images or videos, this includes adult pornography images and visiting websites such as www.videoshd.xxx, even though adult pornography is still legal in this country once on the sex offenders registry it is against the law to own or view any type of pornography regardless of what type it is. This means that they cannot go see Olivia Berzinc on Babestation cams or anywhere else. It may seem extreme, but it is one measure to keep people safe.

On Wednesday, “(t)he court voted 5 to 4 that those convicted of possessing child pornography must pay restitution to victims. But it said the amount of damages paid must be proximate to the harm that a specific offender has caused.” Restitution is going to cost a lot more than a membership to an adult pornography website which he would have been better off visiting instead of viewing child pornography, there are even some free sites about these days including one popular one maturesexmovies.xxx.
