Maybe. I heard he had stopped, particularly as of May when the head of his foundation got busted.

That said, multiple kid porn victims, at least 2 counts of crossing state lines to use underage prostitutes...nasty.

Why is crossing the state line to use underage prostitutes worse than just using underage prostitutes?

Ethically, there is no distinction.

The U.S. Constitution, however, only grants the U.S. Congress the ability to regulate interstate commerce. Accordingly, crossing state lines results in a federal crime (and brings down the full weight of the FBI, the U.S. Justice Department, and the federal courts).

Ahh, so it shifts the jurisdiction.

To a certain extent. It also serves as a basis for using the FBI's and Justice Department's investigative resources, which greatly exceed those of local and state police departments. Finally, conviction of a federal crime could result in harsher penalties.

I'm loving it. It's cheaper for me to buy food and entertainment off base than it is on. I can get a satisfying, decently healthy meal in town for about $6. On base it's more like $10.

Listened to it on the news radio on the way home from work. Jared offered a "finders fee" to one of the girls he victimized found others like her. The kind of psychological harm that shit can do is disturbing.

he always seemed a little "off" and kinda has a fake smile in his commercials. i wonder if being up to 400+ lbs all those years and being rejected by woman, probably his whole life, created this pedo/escort fantasy for him. either way, hope he rots.

I don't know. I did a quick search and read that he was married twice. The second marrage is pending a divorce for obvious reasons.

He also has two kids. The thing about that is: wouldn't you feel like a piece of shit that you are doing these acts with someone's kids, God forbid some other guy can do the same to your own?

And yes I agree. He's going to have a miserable rest of his life. He'll rot for sure.

Reminds me of this movie

One of the more uncomfortable films I've viewed.
