Hall of Shame: Diaper Porn

In the news, two stories about how diaper pictures and child pornography can sometimes cross boundaries and blur lines. 

The first story comes to us out of Kentucky, where a 24yo DL was spared a jury-recommended seven-year prison sentence in favor of five years probation and twenty years as a sex offender. Among the reasons for the lower sentence:

“... of the tens of thousands of diaper-related files found on his computer devices, only a few dozen (less than 1 percent) contained child pornography (which he usually deleted, one discovered) were relatively very rare, incidental, and perhaps accidental to his download of legal yet odd diaper-related files,” attorney Dan Carman, PLLC wrote in Wharff’s defense. “To treat Robby (Wharff) the same as offenders who have had contact offense or who other wise pose a risk to others would not be just.”
 

Carman goes on to state that Wharff is not dangerous “but, in a sense, mentally ill” and should be placed in treatment and not jail for his offense."

It's clear from the above paragraph that the legal community has a view of the ABDL community that many of us don't share. Still, consider whether the pictures you're seeing online might fall into the illegal category. On some sites, it's questionable... 

...also consider that this young man had thousands of diaper photos on his hard-drive. We know he didn't take them all. How many of them were yours? 

The second story is out of Gilbert, AZ where a 31yo ABDL was caught by his wife with a binder full of child pornography. She promptly called the police. Her husband, she says, is facing the prospect of a "very long prison sentence." 

From the article:

Jeremy Baland admitted to the responding officer that he had a diaper fetish and a pornography addiction. 

Jeremy Baland also told the officer that, when he was 15, an unidentified 55-year-old man told him where to find child pornography. He said the white binder in question had been in his possession since he was 15. 

"[Jeremy Baland] told me about some specific photos that were in the binder, and told me he placed them in the binder because it reminded him when he was little," a report from Gilbert Police read.

Gilbert police is not releasing further details on the investigation at this time, but said they are also looking into possible child porn content on Jeremy Baland's computer."
