A 32-year-old man who taught TaeKwondo summer camps for kids was sentenced recently to five decades behind bars after several of his victims discovered he was secretly recording them.

When reports of his behavior were made to police in 2021, detectives executed a search warrant at Erik Chen’s home and found hundreds of thousands of images of child pornography stored on his electronic devices, according to a press release from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. .

Chen was ordered Friday to serve 50 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections by a Douglas County judge. He will also be required to register as a sex offender once he is released.

        So then why does a priest who penetrates and comes inside of children’s rectums, using blood as lube, day in, day out only get 2-5 years in the same state?

        People like you help the problem survive because you can’t stomach crime and try to smooth it over from afar but you probably haven’t been alive for 50 years and have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re too afraid of problems to actually solve them and wait for the pedo to fuck your kid, toss him in jail after he’s finished, pay thousands to preserve his life, and dust your hands and say “job well done!”

        How would you feel if your rapist buggered you and got less a year, you see him at the store after he’s released, walking about? Would 45 years be too few as well? Isn’t death merciful by comparison?

        I’m sick of bad faith operators who have never actually dealt with crime and punishment. They think they’re so strong using words of power, but they keep the monster alive, under they’re bed, and never solve the problem; they’ve never even fought for good in their life!
