"A quarter million images!? Horrible. Silverthorne, doesn't Arizona sentence a set number of years based on each image found? Is there a cap? Just curious what he would have faced in state charges if he was an Arizona resident. "

We have the "worlds toughest law" here (literally). Its 10 years per image. Must be served consecutively. No maximum. My calculator doesnt go that high but 225,000 images would be around 2.25 million years?

So much for evolution.

Just out of curiosity. If he had grabbed a kid and raped him I wonder what the sentence would be in Illinois?

<blockquote>A Cook County judge gave a 100-year prison sentence to a Hanover Park man who prosecutors say owned an immense collection of child pornography that included images he posted on the Internet.</blockquote>

100 years.  Ouch.

<blockquote>Scotillo did not grant Donath's request for leniency. Instead, he handed down a sentence that was 20 years shy of the collective charges' maximum of 120 years.</blockquote>

I wonder how the maximum is determined in Illinois.

<blockquote>U.S. Customs Bureau senior special agents testified that Donath had more than 224,000 images of child pornography in his townhouse - a number that dwarfs the fewer than 50,000 images usually confiscated at any one time by the agency.</blockquote>

A quarter million images!?  Horrible.  Silverthorne, doesn't Arizona sentence a set number of years based on each image found?  Is there a cap?  Just curious what he would have faced in state charges if he was an Arizona resident.

<blockquote>At least one of the tapes showed a girl under the age of 12 who lived in his neighborhood. A younger sibling of the girl had also been victimized by Donath, prosecutors said.</blockquote>

It wasn't a "victimless" crime.  There were real children.  He knew at least some of them.  And he was sharing the images (maybe the videos too - the article doesn't say) with others internationally (I didn't quote that part, but it's in the article).
