That's scary, if true.

I hope he is thoroughly checked out as far as JBR goes. It's been so long I don't know how they could even do it. Just a note, I would not want someone innocent to be charged with anything period.

kay74,
With the JonBenet link he will be checked out big time. Its the photograph angle that is of interest to folks on websleuths.

He is unlikely to have been involved in the death of JonBenet but he did photograph her, show her how to pose, etc.

Assuming the recent allegations are correct did he take any extra photographs of JonBenet, I would be surprised to hear he did not.

Also such photographs, e.g. with JonBenet clothed and posing would sell for thousands of dollars and likely kick off litigation by John Ramsey who would want to claim ownership and copyright as he or Patsy had paid for the original photo shoot!

JONBENET ARREST MADE !

Took pictures before little beauty’s murder

Chilling new evidence in child abuse horror

In A blockbuster twist to the still unsolved killing of JonBenet Ramsey, a man obsessed with photographing the little beauty queen has been busted on kiddie charges! Insiders tell GLOBE that the arrest of Randall DeWitt Simons — a once trusted associate of the Ramsey family who has bounced in and out of the investigation into six-year-old JonBenet’s murder — may fjnally bring her killer to justice. The cops believe they have Simons dead to rights. He’s gone from being a suspect in JonBenet’s death, to being cooperative to being uncooperative over the years, a source tells GLOBE exclusively.

Now, he may have to talk about what he truly knows in an attempt to gain leniency! Simons, 66, was JonBenet’s photographer just months before the kiddie pageant princess was found sexually molested and strangled with her skull bashed in on the floor of the wine cellar of her wealthy parents’ Boulder, Colo., home on Dec. 26, 1996.

In October 1998, Simons was arrested for parading nude down a Colorado street — and blurted out to the arresting offjcer, I didn’t kill JonBenet! The alleged kiddie freak also drew attention to himself in 1997 when he sold a portfolio of glamour shots that he took of JonBenet to a photo agency for more than $7,000.

On July 2, the shutterbug was busted on 15 counts of encouraging child sex abuse after a year long investigation found he’d used the WiFi at an A&W restaurant in Oakridge, Ore., to download dozens of images that were deemed to contain disturbing X-rated content.

When the creep said he’d been working in the area as a child photographer, cops immediately alerted local parents, asking whether their tots were ever left alone with him.

Simons has pleaded not guilty to the charges, but his arrest immediately set off alarm bells with the source telling GLOBE that Simons had offered tips to cops on the JonBenet case in the past.

There’s always been a sneaking suspicion this character knows more than he’s let on, the source says. He might be finally ready to tell the truth!

Simons moved to the Pacifjc Northwest years after JonBenet’s murder, and neighbors have described him as an oddball. Now he could be the key to exposing the killer. Even though the trail has gone cold, suspects have continued to emerge in JonBenet’s murder.

In December, twisted JonBenet blogger David J. Hughes was charged with three felony counts after he was found with videotapes of underaged children being attacked and a video of himself encouraging two young boys to take off their clothes. While Hughes denied any involvement in JonBenet’s murder, police continue looking for links.

What’s more, in a jailhouse letter obtained by GLOBE earlier this year, Colorado inmate Keith Schwinaman revealed he was a suspect in the case, saying, I most likely will be charged with the JonBenet murder the next year, according to detectives who came and interviewed me.

But now a Ramsey family friend said Simons’ arrest could be the biggest break the family has had in 22 years. JonBenet’s mom Patsy Ramsey died of ovarian cancer in 2006. She’s survived by her husband John and son Burke, now 32.

The family’s agony has continued for a cruel amount of time, the family friend says.

Patsy longed for the truth about what happened to her beloved daughter, but tragically, she didn’t live to learn it. Now, JonBenet’s father and brother hope they are fjnally getting closer to not only the truth, but to justice. They want that so badly for both Patsy and JonBenet.

Wow a year long investigation! Just what did he download, I'll bet they are just holding charges till they go though all his devices, could be more to this than meets the eye?

Child + Laws, Charges & Statute of Limitations - Find Lawyer or Attorney Near Me

"Child Statute of Limitations
There is no current statute of limitations for child at the federal level. This means that offenders can be charged at any time after their offense. State statute of limitations may exist, however, but since nearly all child cases will be federal crimes there is likely to be no statute of limitations in place."

"It is important to note that a child doesn’t have to be depicted in sexual acts in order for an image to be considered child . Sexually suggestive photos that include naked children will be considered to be in violation of federal law. Also, despite local or state age of consent laws, no minor under the age of 18 can be depicted in pornographic materials."

Tadpole12,
All those counts on different dates going back a year are going to be difficult to explain away. Also the counts include Did unlawfully and knowing duplicate a photograph of sexually explicit conduct involving child abuse;

Which are serious allegations, there is the additional phrase about the creation of the visual recording of sexually explicit conduct involving child abuse; suggesting the existence of movies?

Are they suggesting he was editing movies and making separate photographs?

UK, I think it would be specified within the charge if video was evidenced?

State v. Dimock, 174 Or. App. 500 | Casetext

"The phrase "visual recording," when read in context, is not vague. ORS 163.684 prohibits duplicating "any photograph, motion picture, videotape, or other visual recording of sexually explicit conduct involving a child." The specific types of recordings that the statute prohibits make clear that the general reference to "other visual recording" is limited to visual recordings that involve real children and real abuse, not images that are "virtual" or "invented."

 

[Tadpole12]

Check out RDS's patterning. He's alleged to have downloaded child
at least once or twice a month for months, and then in June, for almost six consecutive days.

Tadpole12,
You are probably right. It just seemed odd to see the phrase visual recording when they were referencing photographs.

Anyway its alleged he downloaded sexually explicit photographs of children so he cannot have a leg to stand on, he is off to the penetentiary for a long time, deal or no deal!

So Are they going to investigate him on JB's murder?

‘Richard Jewell changed my life’: Atlanta-based attorney continues to fight for high-profile reputations

Lin Wood has represented the likes of Dr. Phil [McGraw], JonBenet Ramsey’s family, former presidential candidate Herman Cain and most recently, Nick Sandmann.

August 14, 2019

"“I spent 16 years representing Richard," Wood said. "Richard Jewell changed my life and he changed my career, because I have focused since Richard’s case primarily on the area of defamation and reputation and protection,” Wood mentioned."

Very sad l hear that Twenty long years ago, six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was murdered in her home on Christmas night.

Here is what people will see when they visit ForumsForJustice.org
We only need to raise 160.00 to keep FFJ up and running. Please see below.

PLEASE DONATE TO VIA PAYPAL USING THE ADDRESS [email protected]

Dear Members and Guests of Forums for Justice.org

FFJ does not pay for itself. Anything needed for FFJ comes out of pocket.

We cannot put off any longer the upgrade needed for FFJ to new forum software.

The cost to update the forum, barring any sort of problems that arise, will be one hundred and sixty dollars. $160.00. Money I do not have right now.

FFJ will remain down until we can raise $160.00. Then, when the money is raised we will start working on moving from vBulletin to Xen Foro. If you want to see what XenForo looks like go to www.websleuths.com

If possible please donate 5. 00 or more via PayPal.com using the address [email protected]

As soon as we have 160.00 I will stop the fundraising.

Let me stress, if you cannot afford 5.00, then please do not donate. Five dollars is a meal and is a lot of money when you have none.

Thank you. I don’t like going to you like this but we need to keep FFJ up and running. So many good people have done amazing work when it comes to the JonBenet Ramsey case.

It seems that most people have forgotten about JonBenet Ramsey and the injustice of her case.

We haven’t. The members of FFJ have not forgotten JonBenet and we never will.

Thank you very much for your help.

Dear ForumsForJustice.org members and friends,
For FFJ to continue we need 160 dollars for new software. Please help us out by donating at PayPal with the address
[email protected]

Until the money is raised FFJ will have to remain down.
ForumsforJustice.org is the sister site to Websleuths. It is a great place for everything JonBenet.
Ramsey lawyer L Lin Wood would LOVE IT if FFJ failed. Remember the time he subpoenaed me for the names of the moderators? He did not get on thing from FFJ, Websleuths or me.
It would be awful to know how glad L Lin Wood would be if FFJ ceased to exist.
One hundred and sixty dollars is all we need to keep FFJ going.
If you want to help keep JonBenet's memory alive we need to keep FFJ running but I cannot do it on my own anymore.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,

New York Times: 'Meet the Rising Drag Stars of America. They’re Tweens'

September 9, 2019

"Nina West, a queen who appeared on “Drag Race” and who has often performed for kids, said that while drag is a form of gender protest, it is not inherently sexual...."


"Since JonBenet died, and endless photographs of her carefully made-up face and coquettish pageant dance routines became mawkish fodder for tabloids, the children's beauty pageant circuit has watched the number of contests plummet. After her death, JonBenet became for many Americans a poignant symbol of parental manipulation and child exploitation.”

What’s Fact and What’s Fiction in Richard Jewell

Did an Atlanta journalist really offer sex for a tip? Did the FBI really try to trick Jewell into a false confession? We break down Clint Eastwood’s latest biopic.

Dec 12, 2019

"In the movie, Watson Bryant is a lone attorney taking on the system who ends up as Richard Jewell’s lawyer by virtue of the fact that he is the only one Jewell knows. He has only one assistant, Nadya (Nina Arianda), who plays a crucial role in the film by walking the distance from the payphone where the bomb threat had been made to the bomb site, thus showing that it could not have been Jewell (although the FBI’s later working theory, both in the movie and real life, was that Jewell had a lover and accomplice).

In reality, Richard Jewell’s case was fought with an entire legal team—not just Bryant but Lin Wood, Wayne Grant, Jack Martin, Richard Rackleff, and Watson’s brother Bruce, each with their own areas of expertise.*"
