Pokin’ Thomas
A gay native American is the defendant in an underage cyber sex case. His lawyer hopes to test the law as unconstitutional.
Thomas LaBlanc
St. Paul resident Thomas LaBlanc, 66, is a Native American dancer who travels the country. While in Missouri in early 2009, he met a boy who later reached out to him on social media. The boy’s Myspace profile said he was 16, but he was really 13 or 14 at the time.
The two ended up having a cyber-sexual relationship involving exchanges of nude photos and messages via social media (though no webcams, apparently). Had the boy really been 16, there wouldn’t have been anything illegal about that, but since he wasn’t, LaBlanc ended up being charged with a felony. He was recently convicted of solicitation of a child for sexual conduct via the internet and could spend up to three years in prison.
The two had never met face to face, and the case raises questions about the constitutionality of the Minnesota law, as well as possible implications for people who could get charged for sexually arousing minors via the Internet — even if they mistakenly believe the other person is older, LaBlanc’s attorney, Jeff Dean, said Tuesday…
“It is undisputed that the other person did not tell my client his true age of 15 and that he misrepresented his age as 16,” Dean said. “Moreover, it appears from his pictures posted on his profile that he is about 19 or older.”
Dean and LaBlanc are appealing the decision. Dean argues the part of Minnesota statute stating that being mistaken about a child’s age is no defense in cases like LaBlanc’s is unconstitutional.

Well, sauce for the goose…
Could I mistake a sweet little 15 y/o GIRL for 18, if that’s what she said she was, without being charged with statutory?
None of those fags have children so they don’t understand the need to protect them from perverts.
What if this INJUN were to get Malia or Sharia on his Facebook page for the same purpose?

It’s not all that laughable when put into the context of leftists tossing the opening salvos in their war on outlawing sex with children.
Read any comments to stories about Elmo tickling children. He was 16, so it was OK, is how the leftist piece of garbage will frame the issue. What’s this guy’s defense? I thought he was a 16 year old CHILD, not a 14 year old.

So, why do we tolerate perverts amongst us in the first place?
If we started hanging child predators, I bet we’d have fewer of them.

Oh I definitely agree that we’re going to see a push for all sexual deviance to be reclassified as “orientation”. I’m just not sure how it’s all going to play out. The media still loves high profile sex abuse cases, so how do they pivot to reclassify sick fucks like Jerry Sandusky as sympathetic “victims” of uncontrollable “sexual orientation”?
My prediction is that, once the SCOTUS finds a constitutional right to gay marriage, polyamory and “consensual incest” (that made me feel sick just to type) will be the next great frontier. The road to legalized “kiddie diddling” will be more difficult because you have to convince a large number of leftists not to look at their own darling children and consider, if only for a moment, “What if someone uses MY child as a sexual plaything?”

When God and the Bible are thrown out of the morailty of a country, you get this defense:
“It’s unconstitutional for my male client to be charged with a crime because the male child he was talking sexually with and sending nude pics to was 16 yrs old…..”
Pray for our country…….
