Child Porn Son Follows Dad To Jail
“A son has followed his father into prison after both of them were jailed for possessing child pornography. Lee Hunter, 34, admitted possessing and making indecent images of children, some of who were as young as three years old… Hunter’s home in Valpy Avenue, Mile Cross, was searched by police on June 25 this year where two computers were seized which contained the graphic images. Another computer was taken from the home with more than 5,000 indecent images on which belonged to his father Philip Hunter, who was jailed for six-months for similar offences two months ago. Prosecuting Malcolm Robins said the two computers were seized from the home and altogether contained more than 200 indecent images of children. There were more than 100 ‘active’ images and 59 ‘deleted’ images on Lee Hunter’s PC and 11 ‘active’ images and five ‘deleted’ images on another PC in the house, believed to be in his sister’s room, although it was assumed she was not aware of them. Mr Robins said: ‘Mr Hunter gave the police his hard drive when a search was carried out. Officers became concerned and searched his sister’s room and seized a further computer which he admitted he had used. ‘Another PC, a third, was taken from the house but this belonged to the boy’s father who was jailed for a similar offence. ‘Images ranged from level one, which is fairly innocuous, to level 5 which is very serious and disturbing.’ Philip Hunter, from the same address, appeared before Norwich Magistrates on October 21 and was jailed for 10 counts of making indecent images.” — Evening News (UK)

In a way, this story is simply an illustration of the truism that the abused tend to become abusers. Researchers estimate that anywhere from ten to thirty percent of abused children go on to repeat the maltreatment that they suffered. To be clear, the story doesn’t specify that the father abused the son. But all the same, you can’t help but think that something about the home environment encouraged him to repeat the sins of his father. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, as the saying goes.
Looked at another way, this is a story that’s less about perversion than about recklessness or outright idiocy. You would imagine that, when a person in someone’s own home has been arrested for a crime, the other people living there would be highly motivated to keep out of trouble for a while — ditch the drugs, lay off the child porn, maintain a low profile. How is it that the junior Mr Hunter failed to keep clean? Did he not care? Did he think he could blame his father for the continued presence of child pornography? (”No, no, that’s my dad’s kiddie porn… Uh, what? It has a file date of yesterday? No, I don’t know how to explain that… Maybe it’s my mom’s?”)
Finally, there is also a comic aspect to the whole thing. It used to be that fathers and sons went fishing together or attended baseball games. These guys evidently swapped illegal pornography. (”Hey dad, look at this infant getting ass-fucked… Wow, son, that’s really hot… I think so too. Let’s jerk off together like we used to…”) Or maybe it would be even more comical if each had absolutely no idea what the other was up to. You can imagine them sitting in separate rooms, downloading their depraved images and chatting to each other’s aliases in some pedophile chat room…
Excellent commentary.
I think the psychiatric services in the UK and America should examine the abused-becomes-abuser possibility even more deeply.
Not all children who lack love or affection as children end up becoming Richard ‘The Iceman’ Kuklinski.
In fact, abused children almost have a built-in excuse to use to explain deviant or odd behaviours. “I was abused as a child”, “oh ok, that explains a lot, carry on”.
I was a vicitm of rape. I have never had the urge to do that to someone else, In fact I am pretty protective of weak people. I never understood the appeal of children. I want a woman that is 100% developed and possible more ripened and soft. I am fine with a lot of weird sex practices and stuff but pedos need help and repeat offender should be neutered or humanely euthenized.
The possibility of the abused becoming the abuser is thought to stem from the abused identifying with the abuser, rather than accepting one’s self as a victim. If you’re on the side dishing it out, then you are no longer the one getting it. The concept has been long known in psychiatry and psychology. Different specialties will have different interpretations as to why it happens. However, it is a mistake to think that becoming an abuser is the rule. There is no absolute rule.
I have been working as a psychotherapist for 15 years now, and know that people run the gambit with how they will react to to sexual trauma. Some people move toward an avoidance of sex altogether. Some will err way on the extreme side of caution to make sure that they will need be seen as a potential abuser. Some people become promiscuous hunters, rather than abusers. Some develop sexual mind games with themselves to get their sexual needs met without taking responsibility for it.
Life offers countless choices.
