    This is just so depressing. I think perhaps this type of thing makes technology and it's advances just not worth having, like yeah facebook is get for staying in touch but at this kinda cost? This poor girl has the added humiliation of knowing that hundreds maybe even thousands of people could see this happen to her. What do you all think?

    Stupidity of the highest order in a number of ways.
    One of those ways is that everything now is traceable and the gobschites passing this stuff around are assholes for not realising this.

    So the culprits who transferred the footage from phone to web, etc can have all their locations and I.P. addresses as well as actual phone numbers, be traced.

    I would expect definite arrests on this one.

    Yeah I agree Biggins, they're sure to get caught now but I think that the fact that this girl has to know that everyone in her life could have watched this footage is almost as bad as the crime itself, just seems to be unbelievabely harsh on top of what she's already been through.

    Not really. All it takes is wi-fi and they're clean. At least I think. I'd imagine they take the photos, go to a wi-fi hotspot, upload them to a new email account and then use that account to spread them.

    On a note about the thing itself... the FU*K?! I can understand if she posed willingly but I mean... the Hell does someone say "hmm, we'll drug this girl and then rape her AND VIDEO IT!"
    Hope the little cun*s get caught and locked up with some nice ape like men who don't take "no" for answer.

    They need horse-whipping.

    Is this SFW?

    It's a news article - not the actual video.

    I don't think so. You don't see anything or the likes (she's under 18) but there is a link in the main article about snuff films. Though again, it doesn't actually show anything.

    Ah come one now :rolleyes: I'm hardly likely to post a link to that, and god I really hope I'd be banned if I did!!!

    It's not often I get Daily Mail about these thing, but Jesus, what would you do to those blokes... :mad:

    Hopefully they were stupid enough to upload from somewhere they can be traced so at least some good may come of it for the poor girl.

    It's a fair question, even if the link is not directly to the NSFW content.
    Some work web useage policies are so strict that even secondhand links could put your job at risk.

    Awful story, but why did they feel the need to drag child porn into it?

    Does it matter? She was 16, just a kid. Regardless of that it's child porn, they're monsters.

    The transfer from the phone (which has its own identifier signal mask) via the nearest phone company mast/ariel, to another computerised system that will alone have its own i.p. address helps makes things easier.

    So suspect Joe Soap is sending out graphic illegal material, if I can show by triangulation of his phone (which can be gotten upon his arrest - and examined), have his particular phone signal, link it to his location on any particular day and he don't have an alibi ("I was elsewhere your honour!"), then show that he was using the phone and at the scene of the crime (someone testifies against him that he was there), the individuals can be further gotten by evidence alone in a number of ways.

    If every original one of those sick sods (sending out the stuff) are ALL using throw away phones then yes, the job is harder to track and locate but all it takes is one fool on a contract phone (get him to testify) and he can hang the rest orally or by examining his phone and/or transfers which are on data file on a phone company server anyway.

    Boils down to the legal statutes of the country and what age they have allocated/attached as a legal definition of "child porn" in their country.

    Well I doubt they'll be caught. Although... technically if it's a small enough rave, shouldn't all the boys be able to be idenified, I think they should be caught quite easily through good aul fashioned searching.

    They can't and won't go after everyone down the digital chain but the initial ones that were there at the scene of the crime, they will (I hope).
    All it will take is to get one or two identified, get them to talk (lesser jail terms on offer, etc).
    There is the possibility too of security cameras also there being able to back-up their presence at the general location too (it all adds weight to a court case in front of a jury), add that to testimony, phone records, DNA(?), etc... and there is a case for catch a good few of them.

    I hope the original scumbags do too get all caught.

    It's funny, in this day and age I wasn't even thinking that maybe it would just be easier to check the rave, ask people, look at cameras. All I knew was "the internet and texts spread it".

    I think they brought it up so that they could use the example of a famous case where the victim stated that having sickos jack off to her abuse was like the abuse happening over and over. I know where you're coming from though, it's sensationalist now to mention child porn and that takes away from the issue at hand.

    Well thankfully, both ways now are even more effective for crime fighting (not perfect but every little bit helps).
    Lord knows the police of every nation, need all the help they can get. Whatever method works, good!


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,240 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    They should be caught by promising amnesty to any of them that comes forward and names the others. If they chose to renege on the deal afterwards that would be too bad.

    It's funny, because if you saw any other crime - robbery, beating, murder even - taking place and took a picture of it, you'd be praised for helping solve a crime, but if you did the same thing in this situation you'd cack yourself because you'd immediately be assumed to be guilty.

    Don't get me wrong, I agree. It's just odd how the first thing the kids from this generation think about techology first instead of logic.

    O' I hear you too and agree 100%.
    They press that "send" button before letting their brains kick even into gear!

    Even if one didn't send anything, just by being there, if they were captured on footage and/or recorded in the background as oral sound, they are possibly up the creek and could be charged with any number of crimes (possible aiding and abetting, failure to report a crime, etc...).

    holy hell that is sick! :eek:

    I only hope that posting the pictures online makes sure and certain these people are locked up good.

    I disagree. She is a child in Canada and a child by law here. I think that so many of you are here are so young yourselves that you forget just what a 'baby' a 16 year old is. Not your fault as it is human nature to feel when you are 20+/- a bit that you were nearly as mature at 16 as you are now. It is porn because it is showing sexual action I presume and not just pretty pictures of a girl.

    If I had the power I would hang everyone who had anything to do with the actual rape and the filming of it and the initial passing around of the photographic evidence and I would ban anyone who viewed it from having a mobile phone for a couple of years or accessing the Internet and the same for anyone who on hearing about it went to a search engine to see could they find it it to view and be outraged then upon viewing it. :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,038 ✭✭✭jackiebaron


    This story, if true, is sickening. But what's going to happen with this is that right-wing nutjobs in Canada are going to use it to justify putting surveillance cameras everywhere and tell you it's for your protection....just the same was as you taking off your shoes and belt at the airport is for your own safety.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,311 ✭✭✭Procasinator


    They have the photographer already according to a linked article (http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Photos+teen+rape+gang+viral+Internet/3537298/story.html#ixzz0zpTc0YP8) and will probably be able to identify some of the attackers (between 5 and 7 of them) from the photos.

    It's a horrific crime and absolutely disgusting behaviour.

    I see what you mean but this was a gang of knackers date raping a girl at a rave, not really child porn as people would understand that term if you see what I mean, like this wasn't an adult taking advantage of a child in their care. I do think that child porn has been used to sensationalise things and that in itself is really crap because it takes the shocking aspect away because people just get desensitised to it. Also I'm 28 so I don't think my view is based on my age.
