In the past FBI has set up pages that had nothing at all on them, told people they were CP, and then busted any poor soul who happened upon them. They don't need to catch you in the act of having CP or distributing CP to be able to raid you for CP, at the very least they can make a good case against you for intent to possess CP. The thing to realize about CP is that in the process of loading a single CP page you have essentially broken a few hundred laws. Automatically you are guilty of at least attempt to download CP, attempt to transport CP, attempt to possess CP. If there are perhaps fifty images of naked 16 year olds on the page, for every one of those you will be charged and end up with 50 counts of downloading CP, 50 counts of possession of CP, 50 counts of transporting CP, 50 counts of viewing CP. If they really want to fuck you they will probably add 50 counts of importing CP and 50 counts of causing CP to cross state lines.nIf you used a proxy they will tack on evading the police, etc. If you use a proxy like Tor they might even triple your counts of transporting CP * 3 or * 6 to take into account each Tor node you caused CP to move through. Seriously, doing god damn anything with any amount of CP at all can be stretched out into hundreds of charges, it is absurd. Clicking a single wrong hyperlink and you can easily find that you are facing hundreds or even thousands of felony charges punishable by 5 years in prison each. Almost everybody who is fucked with CP in any context is facing a potential life sentence because of this. Now you are not likely to actually get a life sentence for a few reasons. The first is because the prosecution will drop 399 of your 400 charges if you plead guilty to 1 one of them, and there is an extremely high chance that you will do this, so you will only get 5 years maybe. But it depends on the type of CP you have, the amount you have, what you did with it, etc. The truth of the matter is that in 99% of CP cases, you WILL get whatever sentence the prosecutor and judge decide you deserve, and if you take it to a jury trial you will probably get life in prison. That is how CP works. In the vast majority of CP cases, you are facing 0 to life, and at the total mercy of the prosecution and judge. If you take it to a Jury trial you will probably get close to life. The USA has the harshest penalties for CP in the entire world out of all countries where any porn at all is legal. Not only that but you will likely spend your time in prison being raped, beaten, tortured and generally degraded. Many people who take their case to a jury trial are sentenced to a life time of rape and torture. It is probably part of the reason why a large percentage of people arrested with CP end up killing themselves before it makes it to trial. That and the fact that even if the plead guilty and only serve a decade in prison, they will be registered sex offenders for the rest of their lives, none of their friends will like them anymore, they will be humiliated in their communities, forced to live in tiny ever shrinking zones to the point that eventually a lot of them just end up homeless living under bridges or in sex offender ghettos that are most similar to the ghettos the Nazis made the Jews live in. Nobody will hire them, they are banned from using the internet in many cases despite most of them being heavy to very heavy internet users prior to their arrest, they are humiliated publicly all the time, where ever they go, for the rest of their miserable lives. Seems pretty fucking harsh for looking at some naked 16 year olds who are legal to fuck, but death to the nonces ahhhhhhhhh /me rips his eyes out and stomps on them screaming death to the pedophiles rolling around on the ground foaming at the mouth
