He never could have imagined...

"It was like a moth attracted to a light bulb," Simaluk told Regina Provincial Court Judge Bruce Henning on Friday. "He just has no idea why he did it."  This was a defense lawyer explaining to the judge why Nels Soerenson came to possess a huge library of child porn on his computer

What an apt discription. A moth to a light bulb, not only is the moth attracted to the bulb but he keeps on hitting it until he finally dies. In the case of Mr. Sorenson he will spend the next 15 months in prison,In addition, "Among conditions of the probation order are that Soerensen not attend public places frequented by children or communicate with youths under 16 unless an informed adult is present; not possess computers or electronic devices that can access the Internet; not possess pornography; allow those monitoring him to see the bills and statements from his telecommunications provider; submit to searches by police up to three times per month; not live in a place where he has unrestricted access to a computer; and take sex offender assessment and/or treatment as directed. A separate order, to be imposed for six years, prevents him from working or volunteering in a capacity that places him in a position of trust or authority over children and restricts him from communicating with youths on the Internet
 
Prior to his arrest this 44 year old man was known for his love of playing chess! He had no criminal record. I cannot tell from the news account if he is married or has children, but if he does then I would suggest that he won't be married for long. If he is in a civic organization like Rotary or Kiwanis then he likely will be expelled and if he is a church guy.......

I would suggest that this man had no idea that he was predisposed to child pornography until he go onto the internet. As his lawyer said, "he was like moth attracted to a light bulb". Suddenly he was presented with a light bulb called internet pornography which ignited a character defect that he didn't know was there. From then on it was a spiral to destruction.

If he had just had a wall between him and these sites then he would be a free man today, reputation and job intact...

I am trying to be that voice, that guy  swinging the lamp in front of the driver crying , The bridge is out! The bridge is out" warning that destruction is awaiting those travelling diwn this particular road. I hope someone hears.
