I think the last I read from the prosecutor's office that convicted Dawgy was that he was sentenced to several years in federal prison; I just don't recall the specifics. Can someone find that press release and link to it? The prosecution in Canada was covered by newspapers there but what I saw from Texas came from the DOJ.

That being said, Dawgy's content does not need to be taken down because the producer went down [pun intended]. The content may be perfectly legal, with legal age models and full documentation so the only reason to take it down would be to disassociate with a proven child molester. Of course, having content that was produced by a guy who was convicted not once by twice of sexual activity with children is just stupid. Not illegal, but stupid.

Even after Dawgy plead guilty there were still a few voices sticking up for him, surmising that he may have plead guilty to a lesser charge to avoid the possibility of being wrongly convicted of a more serious charge, and that Dawgy was still innocent of all the accusations against him. In my opinion, the evidence was overwhelming that Dawgy knowingly engaged in sexual activity with children under the age of 18. And that was just the evidence made available to the public through press releases, not the evidence known only to the prosecution and defendant that likely would show even more events of molestation!

My experience in joint prosecutions with the US Attorney's Office and knowledge of the federal system tells me that when someone is charged with a federal crime [a few isolated exceptions of course] it is not a matter of _IF_ the defendant will be convicted, but what the sentence will be. The federal system is overburdened so only solid cases are charged. We may presume that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty, but if a federal criminal charge is brought against someone, that defendant is easily proven guilty of the crime charged and a few other crimes not charged as well.
