I'm certainly not defending the guy, but what if he had no intention of having sex with the daughters? What if he was just saying that because he thought it's what the mother wanted to hear, in order to meet up with her? Again, not defending him, but isn't it strange to throw someone in jail for a crime they not only haven't committed, but perhaps had no intention of ever committing?

keithgabryelski: WelldeadLink: "a person under 12" but the youngest was 12. Or maybe less than a year, due to being newly invented.

THAT is your concern with the story -- REALLY?


and YOUR concern with the story is his misplaced concern??? REALLY?

I'm a bit ashamed that my first reaction was "bloody foreign exchange grads", but then I actually read TFA, saw that he's actually Israeli born, and was amused at calling that one instead.

Think maybe the DHS agent ought to be brought up on charges of endangering the welfare of her children? Sick biatch.

/it's sarcasm, relax

The Internet - Where men are men, women are men, and 12 year old girls are FBI agents.

goddam. Why you gotta go ruin it for all us other nerds? Dammit. Somebody missed a memo.

Phd researchers are the priests of the holy church of the liberal atheist.

As such, it should not surprise that they have the same "interests" as Christian priests.

I guess he still hasn't figured out pie

There are no 12 year old girls who want to have sex with you on the Internet. There are a lot of FBI agents, though, if that's your thing.

HaywoodJablonski: I guess he still hasn't figured out pie

I would also accept: pie is clearly not a constant in his world

"He told her during a phone call that he would take 'a dildo, small vibrator for the youngest child'."

Say what you will about Mr. Segal, he is a gentleman.

What if I have a thing for government officials who impersonate children on teh intarwebz?

Well... some crimes don't need motive or intent, just to prove a fact: if someone has sex with a person under 12, it's automatically a felony even if the minor showed you a legitimate photo ID that said they were 21, doesn't matter, the state can charge you. The opposite is also true: if you charge someone for having sex with a person under 12 but the person was 14, you fail to meet the statutory requirements and if the case isn't just dismissed you're likely to see an acquittal.



What struck me as odd about the article was: why is a British tabloid running a story about an Israeli, living in Boston, committing sex crimes? I mean, I'm not implying it's a hoax, it's reported elsewhere, it really happened, but it's not really news: Segal's a nobody. He's not a British national, working for a British firm, he doesn't sit on any international councils or even hold a position of particular prominence at MIT.

Is it the titillating Facebook photos? The offer to buy dildos for the kids? And why are 30+ of the 33 comments on the DM site from Americans?

"he wrote, 'those are some big c**ks'."

...and I see he's already making friends in jail

Jebus!

"...sexual act with a person under 12, a count which carries a minimum penalty of 30 years in prison."

If he had actually met a 12 year old girl, and had murdered and cooked and eaten her; he would probably get less time. And it's Federal, not state, so he'll do every farking day of it. That's a lot of time (and money) for a crime that kinda/actually didn't happen.

Hey; is that the perp? Did he photoshop himself into a woman for his FB page?

Maybe prison won't be that big of an adjustment for him.

He bought dildos specifically for the youngest child and took them with him on a flight across the country.

If he had made detailed plans to rob a bank and travelled across the country to that bank with a gun and mask would you still claim he shouldn't be punished?

And sadly, he will probably not be allowed to play D&D in prison.

I think that's Madonna. *hurk*

miss diminutive: Little.Alex: That's a lot of time (and money) for a crime that kinda/actually didn't happen.

I have no problem with this arrangement. This way a child doesn't have to be scarred for life to make sure goes to prison.



But don't you think he'd be just as deterred by say, 2 year sentence and a $100,000 fine? Outside of his head -which I grant you is an evil place- the only harm he did was to gross out a cop.

Sees pic "Looks like a Jew"




scrolls down ,name- Yaron Segal. yup

With, as Borat would say, a "Jew face" like that, 20 was worth 16.

I'm concerned you people are only asking really? once and are using fewer than 4 question marks and Not. One. EXCLAMATION POINT!!!

I wonder if DHS was "watching" him because he might not be a U.S. citizen?

Also, is no one concerned that he has a picture of Madonna on his Facebook page?

Really?

Really??

REALLY!????

Has anyone gone to those chat rooms looking for FBI agents to have sexual encounters with?

Cuz, I figured that you wouldn't be hard pressed to find some there.

Cyno01: My fetish is law enforcement agents roleplaying 12 year old girls. It gets complicated...

mine too!

My first thought after RTFA was to wonder how soon Tats would show up in the thread.

FBI agents prolly have their own special forums and chat rooms.

They've moved up to FB now. It's annoying when people try to add you as a friend, give you no reason, just ... I'm like...
