  • Our old buddy, Joel

    Remeber Joel, the one-time Matrox BetaBoy way back when?

    I thought I'd try to look him up, as I haven't heard from him in ages.

    Looks like nobody will be hearing from him any time soon.

    Earlier this year he was sent to federal prison with a 12 year sentence for distributing massive amounts of child pron!








    (the 2nd and 3rd link have pics of him, so I know it's the same guy...)

    At the sentencing hearing, the court found that Gilchrist had possessed, and in some cases distributed, over 46,000 images and 1,700 videos depicting the sexual exploitation of a child, including some depicting sadistic or masochistic acts.

    Makes my skin crawl to think he was a guest in my home for a couple of our LAN party weekends...

    Joel? As in the Libertarian Mod we had here with the dragon or somesort as an avatar?

    Edit: Ah, indeed. Pity. Liked the guy. But yeah, that seems creepy indeed. Wonder how KvH is doing.

      Yea, his avatar was a dragon, and in most games we played he used the handle "Dragon"...which he apparently used in other places too, as it's mentioned in some of the articles I found...

          Gawd - creepy

          Kinda liked him - but I have a real big problem with pedos, especially after what I've seen in the in the ER over the years.

              Not a joking matter. Here saying you have "a real big problem with pedos" means you'd like to set up a firing squad.

              In the Federal system you have to serve a minimum of 90% of your sentence to be eligible for parole, so with a 144 month sentence he'll be in 129.6 months before he can even be considered.

                Creepy... Well... Good thing they caught him!

                @DrMordrid: firing squad would be too fast... much too fast...
                (but I get Brian's joke)

                Such offenders always reminds me of the closing lines of the movie 8mm, when Nicolas Cage sees the criminal's face for the first time, and he looks just like a normal guy. And the guy says: "what did you expect? a monster?"
                It would be so much easier if you could see it from their faces or behaviour, but unfortunately, you can't...

                  Not a firing squad, a pair of hedge clippers would be my choice!

                    @Dr : You shouldn't have abbreviated. There is no shame to write Pedophile in its entirety. This is of course no laughing matter.

                      Well - "pedo" is a local colloqualism. Sorry.

                        Definitely qualifies as Weird News of the Day for me.

                          This is too freakin' ironic. This is the jerk I had problems with when I made an innocent little pun about storing petabytes in petafiles. Read his comments here when I questioned the deletion of the thread.

                            I'll bet he thinks making jokes about pedophiles is even less funny now than he did then.

                              I'm just glad that when we did our LAN partys, the actual location we set up at was at a friend's house (who has no kids), and on weekends my kids where at their mom's house, so he had no contact with them.
