Quote:
Christopher Handley, the Iowa man on trial for possessing manga "drawings of children being sexually abused," was sentenced on Thursday to six months in prison. Following this sentence, Handley must serve three years of supervised release and five years of probation. Both of these terms will start upon his release from prison and will run concurrently. Handley also agreed to forfeit all seized materials, including his computer. During Handley's supervised release and probation, Handley must also "participate in a treatment program, to include psychological testing and a polygraph examination, as directed by the U. S. Probation Officer." According to earlier court documents, this last provision is "intended to provide [Handley] with diagnosis and treatment for sexually and/or gender identity or other mental health issues."
Handley pleaded guilty to his charges in May 2009.

Really sad. At the end of the article it says:

In a memorandum attached to the sentencing, the defense has asked that the court make clear that Handley will not have to register as a sex offender, and has asked to change some of the conditions of his supervised release, including his access to a computer and Internet and having contact with minors.

So does that mean that as of right now he's going to be a registered sex offender? Thats fucking harsh. I mean, some of the manga was disgusting yes but this is too much like thought crime.
