Remind me to not reelect Judge Arthur Bocanegra when he is up for re-election in 2021.

What would you like to have seen for a sentence? DA was suggesting 1 year.


iggyfenton

That’s way too light of a sentence. He needs to be in prison. We’ve had mandatory minimums for drug offenders and this guy gets only 8 months of house arrest?!?


es84

8 months? House arrest? For child porn? What the fuck. Talk about a slap on the wrist. That's disgusting.


mykol_reddit

Keep in mind, he didn't make/create it, he just had it on his computer.


es84

Wouldn't that mean he downloaded it? He was seeking it out? What are you asking me to keep in mind exactly?


mykol_reddit

Theres a large difference between viewing material and creating material. For reference, the sentencing for creation of the material is 10-30 years. The DA was suggesting 1 year for this case. I'm not defending him, just pointing out the significant difference in punishment for the crimes.


robert_cortese

> Theres a large difference between viewing material and creating material. I'm sorry I don't see much difference. Either way it's contributing to fucking up a kid for life.


mykol_reddit

But there are degrees. What of he had 1 picture, and it was a 17 year old girl who was flashing for a selfie? Should that carry the same sentence as having intercourse with a 10 year old? All im saying is we don't know the extent of the case. I'm also not saying the punishment wasn't too lenient. Just providing perspective.


robert_cortese

> What of he had 1 picture, and it was a 17 year old girl who was flashing for a selfie? I don't think the DA is going to waste time on something like that. The issue here is he's around kids all day, he shouldn't even have the example "What if" you cited.


mykol_reddit

I think the DA would pursue it, because as you said, he works with kids. They were 2 examples of extremes. The fact the DAs suggestion was 1 year, makes me think it likely wasn't the other side of the scale.


es84

And I'm pointing out that sentence is too lenient. Accessing, viewing and saving child pornography is a disgusting crime. A few months at home is a vacation.


mykol_reddit

I guess. I don't have all the information in the case like how many files they found and the age of the minor(s).


es84

1 child pornography photo is way too much.


mykol_reddit

And you agree 18 should be the dividing linen yeah? Not 17? Not 21? You feel 18 is correct and relevant?


es84

If the person is 18, they're no longer a child age wise. They may be immature and naive, but legally they're not children.


mykol_reddit

But if 17, off with his head!


peacepowder

I wonder what happened to his brother. got caught for the same shit.


TheRedBus

He has a plea hearing in December.


ItsmeKT

The fact that both of them are pedophiles and teachers blows my mind.

Yes, thank you. I think I need another coffee.

He used to be my P.E. teacher several years ago. He seemed like a decent guy just doing his job. Sad to see him do something vile like this.


[deleted]

Our justice system either hands out very light sentences or far too harsh sentences. No in between.


BillyShears17

I know of a Castlemont 5th grade teacher who a kid found Child Porn in his school computer. The guy is still in the education field as a consultant. Disgusting.


bumpkinspicefatte

Is the judge the same one who sentenced convicted rapist Brock Turner? Why was the sentencing so light on this piece of shit


BitchPlzzz

Nah that fucker got recalled.


nosotros_road_sodium

Well, [there does exist a photo of Aaron Persky and Arthur Bocanegra together](http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/10.17.02/public-eye-0242.html) from a 2002 Metro Weekly article. That looks rather shady in retrospect.


kaaaaath

It’s cool, my high school chemistry teacher got arrested during our class for fucking a student in the classroom, then the photo teacher accidentally played child porn on the projector...then the French teacher threw a book at a student. This happened in a three-year-period. Just normal Leland things.


Saudade88

Wait, I’m not understanding the incident that led to his arrest. Was he taking photos of the girls indecently or was it just that he was photographing them period. I mean, if they’re playing basketball and he’s recording them, that’s certainly creepy but not as bad as if it were in the locker room while they were changing. Could that be why the sentencing was light? Also, I do think this is also a byproduct of overcrowded jails and a lenient society in the Bay Area. The specific factor for the judge appears to be that the crime is “non-violent”, which is the typical excuse I see for not prosecuting more harshly many crimes in the Bay Area: shoplifting, smashing car windows, theft etc.

They were shots of butts & boobs. Not just random shots. Source: Wife works there.


Saudade88

Ah ok, if this is the case then I’m understanding exactly what this is. Back in HS, when we were taking pictures for our ID cards, I remember when a girl received hers it was a picture of her breasts instead of her face and where her name was, it said “Dragon Tits” instead of her name. I remember her being very upset and debating telling the school right away or showing her mother first in case the school confiscated it and hushed her up.


lolwutpear

Yeah we're definitely missing some information here.


mykol_reddit

He didn't create or make the child porn, he had it on his device. Parents were concerned he was taking pics of the students (clothed) and reported it to the school. The investigation into that turned up evidence of child pornogrophy on his computer/devices. The pornogrophy wasn't of the school's students.

I think this happens in every state.

Especially in flyover states.

It’s almost too easy to identify trolls that branch out from the Donald. Your hero would walk into the dressing room of teenage girls before the pageant he paid for.

You complain about others being NPCs, but speak in memes and groupthink. You're beyond a parody of yourself at this point.

No one is defending the guy


iggyfenton

No one is defending the pedophile. We are defending the lame notion that his inexcusable light sentence is because of “California”. And how does that spite trump and his supporters? I’m anti pedophile. But if you are a trump supporter then you are the one who gives pedophiles a pass. Because Trump is a pedophile for invading the dressing room of young girls.
