Keeping you out of trouble is easier than getting you out of trouble!
Guys I have read about this case in the media what name was he known by in porn or online? Did he have a site? Anyone?
The only person that came to mind was Dawgy Dawg but it could not be him!
Didn't he used to work for Gay Porn Kings, and he had his own "twink" content site.

Holy fuck I am blown away by this. Dawgy was one of the first guys I met in the biz. I dont know what to say!!
TWINKS POUNDED ONLY AT RAGE CA$H
So what are your opinions on the 17 year sentence? Keeping in mind that he wasn't charged in the US for being with the 14yo in Canada since apparently that was actually legal there. But I would say his "legal" actions in Canada played a role in his sentencing on other crimes here.
There's a lot of horrible things you could do right now and be out long before D*wgy, some involving people dying.
I post here to whore this sig.
You have no idea how many kids Dawgy successfully had sex with over his years as a free man. And if he was willing to lure a 14-year-old guy to his hotel room once, then I'm sure there were more than a couple that he actually got away with. And speaking as someone who was preyed upon as a 11-year-old boy, I spent a great many years in therapy trying to sort out those experiences; I think the sentence is justified.
I'm sure there are more than a handful of guys who are walking around as adults today who are more than a little fucked up by their experiences at the hand of this convicted *********. Seventeen years in jail almost seems insufficient for the lifetime of wreckage some of those guys will be left to sort out – and many never will. And many of those guys will end up in a sort of emotional prison for the rest of their lives. It seems fitting that their abuser will lose a good part of his life.

He entered Canada a criminal as he was importing child porn to the country, which is illegal in Canada and the U.S. It isn't apparently actually legal to be a grown man and have sex with little boys in Canada the way Dale Eric Beckham did.
"The age of consent is 18 years where the sexual activity involves exploitative activity, such as prostitution, pornography or where there is a relationship of trust, authority or dependency. For other sexual activity, the age of consent is 14 years." source
Remember that he was found guilty of luring the child to have sex with him, which is illegal in both Canada and the U.S. Also remember 1400 images of cp were found on his computers including images of children under 12 engaged in sexual acts with adults, which is illegal in both Canada and the U.S.
I think the sentence in the U.S. and Canada was light, based on what we know. It's obvious the Canadians didn't want to waste their resources on Dale Eric Beckham as they knew he'd get the book thrown at him here.
And I believe many states (or perhaps it's a federal law) have laws which allow prosecutors to charge U.S. citizens who are travelling to foreign destinations to get around the age of majority in their own country. So, they may have tacked those charges on as well.

i'm sure dawgy was one of those molested guys. molesters were generally molested. at what age do we stop feeling they need treatment and start feeling that they need to be locked in prison with a group of people who will treat them abusively every day for 17 years?
some sexually molested kids molest other kids when they're still kids. do those kids need to be thrown in prison? what if they're only 10 years old? is there an age where suddenly treatment is no longer what someone should have and punishment is the only answer?
there's a great lack of focus on treatment in this country, and seems like most perceive prison as revenge - and i'm not just talking about in the case of child molesters.
I certainly agree that most abusers have been abused. It certainly would be progressive if we began developing child molester jails where the focus of the incarceration would be on treatment and rehabilitation.
But by the same token, aren't most criminals the victims of some sort of abuse? It seems to me that we look at incarceration as the treatment for their problems. Most prisoners could probably benefit from a more therapy-based approved.
Michael
We stop treating someone like a victim and start treating them like a criminal when they victimize others.
Past abuse does not give someone a free pass to abuse others. I had limited personal contact with dawgy but my impression was that he was no victim. He struck me as a predator. My gut was right.
