In Spokane, Washington a man who raped his own daughter and posted videos of abuse online prior to his flee to China, pleaded guilty in federal court Wednsday. Kenneth John Freeman could face the rest of his life in prison. He is 46 and pleaded guilty to the making of child pornography and interstate transportation of a minor for sexual activity that is illegal. Kenneth is accused of three counts of child rape. He fled the U.S. in 2006 and lived in China. He was put on the most-wanted lists of the U.S. Marshals Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement up to his arrest in May 2007 in Hong Kong. His daughter was ten when the abuse occurred in 2000. She is now 19 and first told her mom about the abuse in Nov. 2005. When Kenneth was in custody he wrote a 400 page autobiography which held confessions to a lot of the criminal conduct that he was charged for.

When I first read this I thought that it was of a younger girl but she was ten when he first started! I would have thought that the girl would have been a little younger becuase then the threat of her saying something would be lessened. When I hear of child pornography my stomach just goes into knots. All in all this is horrible. These types of things scare me a lot because I have three younger sisters and I could not imagine if something like this were to happen to them. I find child pornography absolutely disqusting and it bothers me that someone would do this. It is hard for me to believe that people would rather torture a child than find someone their own age to try and actually have a relationship with. Freeman's daughter will with out a doubt have troubles with trusting men for the rest of her life. Having her own father sexually use and abuse her has got to make her trust go to an all time low. Freeman deserves his sentence and I think that he should be locked up for life. What he did is torture for his daughter. I'm not sure if he has done this to any other little kids but just doing it to one is bad enough. There is something about children being hurt that tears at my heart and I hate it. I can't stand it one bit and don't understand how anyone could do this to another human being, especially a child, is mind boggling!!! It is a very sick thing to do.
