State does not require prison for people guilty of creating child porn By Jordan Steffen
The Denver Post
On the computers in his Aurora apartment, Timothy Robinson collected thousands of images and videos of children being raped and assaulted. Less than 10 miles away, David Moe stashed child pornography on hundreds of DVDs and multiple computers in his Denver home. Both men spent more than a decade collecting the images and videos, meticulously cataloging and labeling their collections. Both had a preferred age and hair color for the boys and girls they were viewing. Both men were arrested. Robinson — despite a previous arrest for inappropriately touching a 12-year-old — walked away with probation and three years in community corrections. Moe, who collected more than 800,000 images, was sentenced to eight years in federal prison.
When it comes to prosecuting and punishing those who deal in child pornography, it matters a great deal who is doing the prosecuting and punishing.
Federal laws are tougher than state laws, but federal authorities say their limited resources allow them to go after only the worst of the worst.
As a result, many cases end up in state court where sentences are lighter — which some prosecutors say can be appropriate for offenders who mostly need therapy. Others say the lack of mandatory sentences creates a system where the punishment does not fit the crime.
In the case of Robinson, Arapahoe County Deputy District Attorney Cara Morlan asked the judge to sentence Robinson to several years in prison.

Look I’m sorry about you guys being a blue state although you have been weird a long time, (seriously Bill Clinton?), Texans had enough smarts to do what it takes to absorb Californians and move right.
It looks like if you disagree with Colorado politics, you need to move to Texas.
As the pot head state, you must be very proud.
