Depictions of women consenting to be sexually tortured and abused is highly questionable since it gives the viewer the idea that a normal woman is going to enjoy _______deviant sexual practice. Depictions of women or men being raped/tortured against their will created by 'actors' should be illegal, it is too far across the line.
Where do you think drunk teenagers get the idea that women all want a gang bang if not from *advertiser censored*?
Sadly, we get in to a really sticky area there Re:legal precedents and what should and should not fall under that heading.
QUOTE]
I thought we weren't getting into this discussion
Once upon a time, I argued that all *advertiser censored* should be covered under the First Amendment. I wasn't prepared to begin the 'slippery slope' argument about what was and was not obscene, considering that in history much revered art has been considered obscene at one time or other. Who was going to decide? Some people think Sex and City is obscene....Oscar Wilde...James Joyce...
Then, I changed my mind. I believe that there exists now enough scientific evidence that links repeated viewing of hard core *advertiser censored*, most especially violent *advertiser censored* that eroticizes violence with negative beliefs and actions. I am prepared to surrender that corner of Free Speech for the greater good. The wholesale liberalization and elimination of society's historic role in setting boundaries on social behavior has brought with it many unintended consequences. There are certain types of currently legal *advertiser censored* that probably 90% of non-lawyers would agree is obscene and destructive. I'm good with that. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Similarly, I once argued against the death penalty as inappropriate for a civilized society...it was wrong for 'the state' to sanction murder for any reason. Today, I would flip the switch gleefully on any number of death row inmates without a second thought.
Agreed Dane, certainly nothing new.
Back 70+ years ago there were the "Tijuana Bibles" with drawn descriptions of all kinds of acts.
Like what?
Breckenridge is confirmed by Jacques emails.
Jacques having sex w/her is confirmed by Gagnon.
Gagnon having sex with her is confirmed by Gagnon.
Her getting her boyfriend's semen is confirmed by the fact that it showed up on Brooke's clothing.
Her being sexually abused is confirmed by what her mother says.
The only thing I find questionable is that after having helped her uncle plot the abduction, wishing her cousin to suffer, agreeing to tie her up, being undecided about 'time with her' that AR just watched TV and then left when Brooke willingly went upstairs with her uncle.
Everything else about her story is supported by other evidence.
Okay, let's say that he was in TX and then travels to VT to be supportive...He already knew what happened to Brooke. He had at least two lengthy conversations with MJ after the fact and he also altered her Myspace. Then...he comes to VT and pretends not to know anything...What a guy...
So do we know when she was actually killed? She was obviously removed from the house...could she have not been brought somewhere else? Until we know the TOD no one can say. And do you honestly think the FEDS took over because they want to get this guy on distribution of pornographic material they have yet to find in some dump? They're definitely looking at bigger...my goodness they dismissed the state charges against him (yes, without prejudice), but they're looking at WAY BIGGER stuff IMO.
IMO they already know when he got to Vermont, I just don't think he was there in Vermont when she was killed, it doesn't track to the time of him changing her myspace page from Texas, I think he admitted the rest of the stuff in terms of "No, I didn't kill anybody, I'm just a run of the mill buyer of child *advertiser censored* who once had sex with my 13/14 year old niece...."
He MAY have helped Jacques cover up more than has been made public after the fact, but I think no way was he directly invovled in her death. And so far, there hasn't been any info. released about Gagnon being part of the month long abduction plan...that is so far solely between Jacques and AR.
From what I have read so far, this is my understanding:
Father molested his son: MJ
Father's Grandfather molested MJ
MJ's Father and MJ molest daughter/sister
MJ rapes 18 year old
MJ has sexual relationship with his step daughter
MJ arrested for possible rape and killing of his niece along with his ex brother in law
Is this correct in a nutshell??
I agree - Texas is several days by car or hours by plane for RG. LE probably has plane ticket or gas/motel receipts, along with cell phone records to prove where RG was, imo.
Reading the affadavit - MJ reminded me of David Brown. DB convinced his 14 year old daughter to kill her stepmother, Linda.
Littledear, where did we learn all of this? I missed parts of that information somehow.

I haven't seen any credible information about Jacque's father and grandfather, I don't even know that it is know for a fact that the 'relative' he was accused of raping was his sister.
It stands to reason, that assuming the 1980s victim was truthful, any 11 year old boy who initiatives a sexual relationship with an 8 year old has himself also been sexually abused. It stands to reason, especially at that time that the abuser would have been a family member. But this is all conjecture as far as I know.
Thanks becca
