Child Porn Charge Lands Casey Soldier in Jail
From the Stars & Stripes:
A 2nd Infantry Division soldier was sentenced Wednesday to two years in prison for downloading child pornography and soliciting sex via chat room exchanges with a police officer posing as a 14-year-old.
Spc. Wesley S. Edmond of the 2nd Battalion, 9th Infantry’s headquarters company, also received a bad-conduct discharge and a rank reduction to E-1.
Sometime between September and October 2006, Edmond downloaded and saved pictures of underage teens having sex, according to testimony.
He also entered the “Virtual Shagging†room at a popular online chat site and conversed with what he thought was a girl who eventually introduced herself as a 14-year-old. The “girl†was actually a female police lieutenant acting in a sting operation to catch sexual predators.
Another soldier going to jail for something stupid. This guy is 31 years old and should know better and even has a young daughter himself. What are people like this thinking?

Doesn't this warrant a Dishonorable Discharge? If not, what would? I pray to God, this person suffer for the rest of his life. I am shamed and embarrassed by this persons actions and he has certainly dishonored those Soldiers that have suffered in the wars fought on behalf of this country. What assenine comments made on behalf of this person the one that really stands out is "I would let him babysit my daughter". The person who said this should be investigated by child welfare agents.
This soldier was my roommate while I was in korea. He was a good soldier and very nice person. I just think he fell upon some hard times and made a bad decision. This is horriable what is happening to him
