Appeals Court Throws Out Conviction of Airman Who Committed Indecent Acts with Child Like Doll
This is just a truly weird case and I can only imagine the shock of his command team had when thy had to deal with this:
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces in Washington, D.C.
The military’s highest court has upheld the dismissal of a case involving an airman who said he performed sexual acts with a childlike silicone doll in the privacy of his dorm room. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces on Monday affirmed the judgment of the Air Force criminal appeals court, which ruled that Airman Zachary Rocha’s conduct was constitutionally protected.
In the court’s majority opinion, justices wrote they lacked the authority to make their own findings of fact and reviewed an appeals’ court decision for the application of “correct legal principles.” The high court wrote that it was not sure another review by the Air Force appeals court was justified, stating justices answered the most important question when they “stated Rocha had a constitutionally protected liberty interest to privately engage in sexual activities with his doll,” according to court papers.
But in a scathing dissent from the majority, the court’s top judge warned the decision lowers the legal threshold for deviant behavior among personnel and sends a message that the U.S. military’s justice system accepts “the unabashed sexualization of children.” “And so,” wrote Chief Judge Keith Ohlson, “hundreds of thousands of servicemembers who serve in the Air Force and Space Force are now authorized to penetrate … child sex dolls while on base and at their leisure. “ (……..)
Rocha admitted to purchasing a silicone sex doll, described in court filings as being about 4 feet tall with female prepubescent features. It was discovered in his room about three weeks after he bought the doll during an on-base dormitory inspection. Those who saw the clothed doll on Rocha’s bed said they were startled by its lifelike appearance, according to court documents.
An Air Force investigator testified in 2021 that he “saw a doll that scared (him) because it kind of looked like a child,” according to court filings. Rocha told investigators he benefited emotionally from the doll, whom he named Adele. He also said he engaged in sexual acts with the doll but denied having sexual interest in children, court papers state. Rocha said he stopped his sexual activity when realizing the doll looked childlike, according to court documents.
You can read more at the link, but I think the way the military can handle this is just issue a sweeping policy letter that forbids these child sex dolls in the barracks.
I am aware that a lot of libtard “teachers” are not fully aware that L-shaped Pop-Tarts and fingers are not actual guns.
Is the military aware that a doll is an inanimate object and does not possess the soul of an actual child?
This is dangerously close to thought crime, which no matter how distasteful, is rightfully protected. Thought crime only becomes real crime when when it results in harmful actions.
And the doll was not harmed because it is property rather than an actual child. Let’s say that again. The doll is on the top end of the spectrum from warm pumpkin to fleshlight to those things that have a mouth on one end and the other end shaped kinda like a micro butt, which is actually smaller than a child.
But the doll is not a child even though it looks like one.
It is certainly uncomfortable knowing that some guy gets off pounding something that approximates a child… and a proper pervert should keep that all in his head… but until he touches an actual child, there is no crime.
I’d certainly keep an eye on him though.
Or maybe it is a financial decision.
A proper size love doll is expensive. The shipping alone is more than the fun-size models.
Maybe there is a business in buying these child-size love dolls and re-facing them with the wrinkled appearance of a 60 year-old Filipina, which potentially has the same size and features.
Let people get their freak on while keeping everything un the up-and-up and out of legal gray areas. (Just gotta keep the lights out)
Now, I’m worried my little RealDoll might get me in some trouble. The mechanized fist should clear me, as it is not a feature commonly found on real children, but who knows.
CH, I’m not certain your M3GAN doll isn’t more disturbing than Rocha’s for practicing voluntary body functions… That was a very disturbing film…
BTW, did anyone ask whether Rocha has a young relative, or friends with a child, named Adele?
Also, while mere possession is not against the law I can’t see how having that in the barracks isn’t “conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline” (UCMJ Article 134).
I can’t see how having that in the barracks isn’t “conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline”
On the surface, I am inclined to agree with you.
But after some thought, I realized that such dolls ENHANCE good order and discipline.
Keep in mind, until recently, the military encouraged men to wear women’s uniforms… in public… while telling other people what to do. That seems more prejudicial to good order and discipline than anything done in privacy.
I am also inclined to believe if such dolls were more common, incidents of sèxual assault would drop. A good case could be made for everyone to be issued one after completion of basic.
One also should observe that sèx with a real female is considered normal but sèx with something that is almost a real female is somehow perverse.
Yet sèx with your own hand has also been normalized. That’s just fùcking gay. And incest. And closer to tentacle pr0n than real sèx.
Now that I think about it like that, I’m never touching myself again…
…or will I?
Tentacles. Hmmm.
