Joel Justice Womochil went by “@ictbaddad” on the social media platform now known as X, with a profile picture of “Pedobear,” prosecutors say.
Why does the headline focus on the "incest"? It was child porn. I don't think it's even illegal to possess incest porn if it's consenting adults. This guy was into kiddie porn.
Yeah what the fuck, I came in here expecting to argue in favor of this guy and his sister being allowed to do whatever as consenting adults.
This is straight up kiddie porn, who cares about the incest, wtf daily beast
The article itself heavily focuses on the child porn, too. It only mentions the word incest 3 time, once at the top (the opening lines are typically a reiteration of the headline), and then twice in the same paragraph later on, but it mentions child porn numerous times. The writer clearly understood what the most significant thing was.
I think this is one of those cases where the writer submitted the article but the editor, for whatever dumb reason, altered the title. That's not unusual nowadays, editors will change titles for SEO and engagement purposes all the time, and I'll bet they're using LLM's to assist now. It's just that usually there's an obvious reason. Take an article one of your journalists wrote, give it a clickbait headline, hit submit. This is odd because it does the exact opposite.
I think the other comment has the right idea: there's a good change search and social media algorithms are hiding or dropping the rankings of titles that explicitly mention CSAM.
I agree and that's awful but right on brand for social media algorithms
There has definitely been a trend in the media of downplaying CP and CSAM recently. I thought others were crazy when they said it, but after paying attention a bit, yeah, it's happening. My theory is that it is because of algorithms filtering stuff like that out.
Hey kids, just a reminder: ACAB. Even if they're putting out copaganda on TikTok, it still applies. Don't trust em.
Kids is right. My 13-year-old is already fully aware.
In case anyone else misunderstood the title the guy wasn't producing incest videos himself but he had all kinds of underage and incest content on his electronics that he was exchanging with other pedos.
He was definitely doing some disgusting stuff but he wasn't physically abusing anyone as far as these charges are concerned, which is what I assumed based on the headline. It sounds like he hasn't had the chance to act on his perversions but he was actively looking for someone to abuse.
There's no "misunderstanding", the title just straight up does not mention the child porn. Talk about burying the lede, damn
Upvoted for lede. Don't let any dumbos tell you it's lead.
I mean, he did inquire some money about paying for access to some secret group chat, so he's totally funding people Raping kids for profit
Title suggested he was trading. But either way it doesn’t matter. It is in part condoning physical abuse by providing a willful and consenting audience to it. Even if you’re not doing the act you’re still benefiting from an act doesn’t excuse you from partaking the dog pile.
A brain with a shred of ethics where something may have even been mis clicked online spots and terminates a non consensual interaction as to know that feeling that they provided some eyes to see it and regret having seen it. Eg: regretful search in google.
Where as a monster comes up with excuses to keep looking at it….such as an excuse like what you just provided.
I didn't excuse anything, I commented on what he's being accused of vs what the headline left open for interpretation.
Even If you consume something(trading even if it’s not creating the footage yourself) that is contributing to the abuse required to make the thing. He was aware of the abuse. And he went on and benefitted from it anyways. So yes, he is accessory to the abuse that was imparted in making of the footage.
It’s always the ones who you most suspect
What the fuck? I looked at that title and thought there was no way I am reading this right, but yep I am.
I Googled the guy's Twitter handle and the third result is his account on a beastiality forum. Yikes.
This is coded language and it's fucking sick.
Like, ok, everyone has their kinks. Who am I to judge. But using, of all things, TWITTER to share porn? Wtf
Edit: ok it was child porn, much worse than incest. But my point generally stands. Why tf would anyone use twitter of all things to share illegal files?
You may want to read more than the headline..
It's much worse than it sounds.
Probably he didn't think he is in danger of being persecuted while being a cop? I wouldn't be surprised if he used his phone to register an account.
There's just something about being a monster that makes people really good at social media and talking to others. Why the fuck is that?
Narcissism
What in the world ?
Police work attracts abusive people
