It Came From The Youtubes!: The Christopher Handley Case

Okay, to say this is a touchy case is an understatement. Look, I would hope all of our listeners are against cp. However, is that what this case is really about? This case may just be about a guy who had creepy tastes and would eventually harm a child and should be jailed for it, but I just can't buy it! Almost all of us can say that cp is wrong in any way you present it and at the same time we all can say that censoring art is a fast track to fascism. That being said, here we are and the government has made a stand on the topic whether it be just or otherwise. What I really want to know is what evidence was used against Mr. Handley. Was it hardcore or otherwise? One of the examples I heard used was "The Gothic Lolita Bible", which is a non-pornographic, fashion magazine. This alone has me asking questions. However, this conviction sets a precedent that cannot be revoked that if our society deems something obscene, be it anime, manga, or otherwise that you will get jail time. I hope this story ends here but they just opened the door to a very slippery slope that has comic publishers worried.
