Holy shit.

I know, I'm a terrible person, but if this was ever found out, would I get in trouble for producing child porn, or would the adult be held responsible? I really, really fucked up and I don't want to have child porn charges on my record forever. As far as I know, no one knows, but I'm scared to make him mad or anything and be a victim of revenge porn. I am 16F in Kentucky, US and he is 28M in Pennsylvania, US. Am I going to go be a sex offender if he shows anyone else? I'm sorry, freaking out.

Fuck me, what a ceasepool of exceptional content. I’m not a big redditer, so I don’t know many subs, but this is golden lmao.

I know people that work for the CPS (british justice system) so this shit is
endless entertainment. I think if you have to ask a forum if something’s legal or not, most of the time it’s probablt not too kosher lol. Sueing people etc isn’t as common in the U.K. tho, maybe that’s why this is extra entertaining...

EDIT: holy shit the CP one got posted whilst I was writing this out. What the fuck are you asking that on a public forum for you retard?! If you don’t wanna get caught out getting involved in anything CP related, first step is don’t fucking tell
anyone you’ve even SEEN kiddy porn let alone dabbled in it.

He actually said "I drew but did not brandish. . ." Probably because he at least knows that brandishing a weapon is itself a crime, unless in self-defense, and the situation hadn't turned into a strict self-defense situation at that time.

I'm probably super late in reply to this but another thing, he said he was the passenger at first, then changed to he was driving, so he's either lying or... Naw he's lying and hiding everything he actually did.

If it was any other state than Texas, I would have a sure-fire Kikwi-inspired defense for the guy getting yelled at by a girl in the men's room; accuse the bitch of being a being a misogynistic, ableist transphobe who is discriminating against your gender-fluid identity. Get her kicked out of school and make the campus write you a fucking settlement check.

Shit that didn't happen /legaladvice style

I live in a house with my dad, his girlfriend, and my brother. 4 people total. Everyone is over the age of 18. I’m college age. My brother, 21, was arrested for texting and threatening an underage girl. It’s disgusting, and I hate his guts. My dad being a bad father has not punished him, and refuses to do so; so when my mother’s lawyer got him released with some time on the registry, my dad didn’t kick him out.

The judge said that for 5 years he can’t have WiFi where he lives. So my dad got rid of the WiFi. Nothing that connects to WiFi can be there either. So we had to get rid of my PlayStation a laptop and some other things. Almost got rid of our phones until they told us we could keep those with a passcode where he couldn’t access them.

My question is, is this allowed to happen? Are we allowed to be punished for his crimes? I don’t see why he can’t access WiFi when he sent her text messages. Not through social media or anything but by phone numbers.

My older sister that doesn’t live with us thinks it’s BS and sent me this and also this one.

I have plans on moving out as soon as I can. I think it’s total bull that he lets him live here, but is there anything we can do?

r/legaladvice is a place you check every couple of months to see the best posts (as in funny, not legally sound advice) such as:

Girl has her house painted by disgruntled neighbors without consent who then proceed to threaten to sue for the cost of illegally painting her house.

https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvic...ighbors_didnt_like_the_color_of_my_house_was/

And this one where some guy's wife fakes her own death in her SE Asian home country and reveals that she's actually alive over Skype.

I'll have to look for it, but I've been on that board before, ages ago. Someone had posted a beautiful topic about how he was miserably single but had gotten an STD anyway, and was seeking legal advice because he believed he had contracted herpes from a three day old used towel his roommate may have had contact with. It contained one update in which the man had gotten a checkup and the... er... bumps were just ingrown hairs. Apparently he had neglected to mention his recent manscaping.
 
oh my god looking at the top rated posts on /r/legaladvice is a gold mine Screenshot_20180702_212001.png some of my faves are "my little sister needs a abortion" saga and its ending here and "CP on laptop I bought off crageslist what do I do" some of this shit should be obvious like calling planed fucken parenthood or better yet your sister calling its her problem not yours unless your fucking your sister which would explain a lot or in the 2nd case call the police and don't use it don't delete it just get it to the cops asap when you notice said material on a device.

I think this particular drama alone says more about r/legaladvice than any individual post: Earlier this year, its mods chimped out and banned Ken White (aka Popehat, a former federal prosecutor and well-known legal blogger specialising in 1A) because he referenced his blog (which does not link to his practice) to answer some questions during an AMA ("self-promotion") and because he offered to help find pro bono representation for people with legitimate cases ("solicitation"; it's worth mentioning he's been doing this for years and it's resulted in countless frivolous suits getting slapped down) and because - like any reasonable person who doesn't give a fuck about what reddit thinks - he laughed at them for being exceptional individuals.

Ken's full response is here, but this nugget alone sums up r/legaladvice:

Just a fyi but all the mods of legaladvice aren't lawyers, they're all cops who have a very...tenuous knowledge of how the law works. As a result you get a lot of instances where the mods ban legit and established lawyers from the subreddit because they correct their dogshit advice.

That feeder story was incredible. I sincerely hope that woman updates us on the results of the trial of her morbidly obese ex-employee's boyfriend who tried to burn down her office as revenge for his girlfriend getting fired because of the feeder pornography they filmed in the office while no one was around which was later discovered because the obese girlfriend posted it to a fetish website that the woman and her husband frequent.

Thank Jesus that the internet has turned us all into narcissists who feel the need to share everything that happens to us with strangers on the internet, even if it's horribly embarrassing and could easily lead you to getting doxed and your fetish pornography leaked to your employees.

I'm pretty sure that the 16 year old girl will be fine and the 28 year old man who solicited nude photos of her's life is over, as it should be.
