Man charged for soliciting child porn via PS3

Posted Mar 14, 2009 at 5:52PM EST by Karl B.

Listed in: PS3 Tags: Webcam

A man from Kentucky was charged for allegedly persuading an 11-year-old girl to send him nude pictures of herself using her PS3.

According to the Houston Chronicle, 24-year-old Anthony Scott O'Shea (aka "Thunder-kid") met the girl while playing Warhawk online. Over the course of several weeks, O'Shea managed to convince the girl to send him the nude pictures while they played online on their PS3s. Court documents also showed that she "performed" for him via webcam.

The girl told her parents about the incident after O'Shea kept pressuring her to send more pictures and to set up a meeting so they could have sex. O'Shea has since acknowledged that he had been in contact with the girl and that he had indeed received the photos she sent./ Police also discovered that he had sent the photos to other people.

Sick world we're living in, eh?

If she used a webcam and they met over the ps3 I'm pretty sure it was the Playstation Eye. The mom bought it thinking it was for the games on the playstation 3 (which it probably was at first).

Its not a matter of her knowing how to use it either (I could use electronics when I was younger with no problem), Its a matter of what not to use it for. This isn't the moms fault in my opinion, the girl should have knew what she was doing was wrong.

I agree that the DS and the Wii are kiddy consoles, but may I remind you of the SNES, the NES, the N64, the GameCube and the GameBoy Advance?

They all were great consoles and they had great

games.

IMO Nintendo needs to get back to it's roots. But seeing how much money they make ripping off children they probably won't.

# yeah, it is sick — sickofitall 2009-03-15 06:51

and now he is facing extradiction to TX. Who knows what kind of sex acts will be performed with him now.

# wtf are you babbling about? — HakatoX 2009-03-15 08:29

does it even pertain to the topic at hand?

You may think all the swearing makes your everyday speech seem more colorful... but all it proves is your lack of a vocabulary.

# Yes, here comes the opposition... — arishay 2009-03-15 08:36

While I technically agree with all of you, we can't forget that both sides of the table were wrong here. That girl, being only 11, was of the age capable of understanding what she was doing. At that age, I knew what I was doing, and I knew about pedephiles. For some reason, kids are easily charmed by these types of people because your hormones kick in and it's too hard to say no. Most kids your age don't usually have the same problems you are facing so you sort of go looking for it. Mine kicked in at 12. Most females mature at a younger age, so there is your fudge factor. I am not defending anyone. The man was wrong too. No matter how you look at it, he's caught. There is no error in his judgment, he plainly *****ed up. He knew he was doing something wrong, and he knew that if he got caught he'd go to jail. He took the risk anyways. There probably was a certain amount of error in the information exchanged between the two. She probably tried to lie about her age. Probably told him she was 15 or 16, he *might* have reconsidered for a moment, but took the bait anyways.

It's just wrong no matter how you look at it. Morally, the child doesn't have a sense of responsiblity. The man, however, did. So from this tier, we see that the child really didn't have the mental capacity to understand what she was getting herself into. Like I said before, at that age, you learn the great skill of lying and sneakery. I am pretty sure it comes along with that hormone boost you get in it's early stages to drive you to go do it. W/e. Either way, this is another messed up scenerio.

Attention whore.

# hey — djman855555 2009-03-15 08:38

correct me if im wrong. dont you need to be 18 to sign up for PSN?

# Yes — arishay 2009-03-15 08:45

Yes, you have to verify your age. You can make up a fake age though. Those things about as useful as child safe medicine bottle caps. If you can read you can get in it.

# so — djman855555 2009-03-15 08:50

the guy was wrong of course. but shouldn't the parents get in trouble. with a underaged child lies about they're age to gain access to something the parents should have some action taken against them. would atleast send a message to other parents

# lol that is weird — NEOL 2009-03-15 09:12

how exactly did you know that he is somalian ? the article doesnt say anything about that. i think that you just want some attention not more.

and by the way there is another races did stuff worst than that, you dont judge on country by the things done by someone who is messed up and love kid porno so ....

i think stfu would be enough for a racist bastad

# ... — Justingraziano 2009-03-15 09:37

Are you insulting the PS3 because rapists choose to use it to attract victims? Just to let you know, there are far far more rapists on the 360 than there are on the PS3, just look at all those accounts that dont even have one achievement. Almost all PS3 accounts have some trophies, proving that people use their PS3 accounts for good purposes unlike 360 accounts.

# Just Wants Attention....Or Does He? — whitecloud 2009-03-15 10:31

At first when i was reading through i was sure that melty3218 just wanted to be a racist piece of **** to show his childishness.

but then i got to thinking...Why has this topic in particular upset him so much?

Why does he seem to hate Somalians?

Why do Pedofiles make him so angery that all he can type is word vomit?

Before you judge melty3218 on the above post, please relise that he may have had certain experiences in his childhood that the rest of us cant fully understand.

# ... — Shatterdome 2009-03-15 11:13

Yeah you make it seem like 11 year olds are dumb....I had finished all the mario's and was using a computer by then (if you could call it a computer).

I've seen kids around that age with cell phones....also if she had the money, there is no age restriction on the playstation eye (maybe there will be now)

Also 11 year olds watch MTV, are influence by all the great pop idols out there like britney, christina, lady gaga, etc.....she knew she was being a hoe....

# I — Gamester101 2009-03-15 13:01

think thats completely wrong. I can only speak for myself. But I hardly think its fair that they be prosecuted for being unaware of this disgrace, when you buy a games console you think they'll play GAMES.

# manual — ZEROmaverick 2009-03-15 15:45

that is why parents have to RTFM!! read the "full" manual included with your console

# Not too much info. — DCX6000 2009-03-15 17:13

This guy is a retard. He should been out looking for real girls instead of hiding behind the PlayStation 3. The girl is fully aware of what she's doing. She knew how to send pics she was underage. If I was that girls mother I would put a belt in her ass for lying and screwing around with an older guy. Who knows how many other guys she has tricked with her treachery. And to that dude; His life is messed up now. Word will spread, he'll be a pedophile and won't be able to find a decent job or move into a neighborhood without being watched.

# WHAT?! — girandhistacos 2009-03-15 18:34

What are you talking about Gamester? OF COURSE the parents need to be held under a lamp for this!

If you have a child as young as 11 and you decide to get them a console AND you have internet in your home, it is YOUR responsibility alone to observe and know everything they do whenever they're using it.

There is no excuse for this incident, none whatsoever. If you have a child it is your duty to make sure that nothing like this happens. It's not that difficult.

That child should HAVE never been allowed to talk to a strange person in the first place, let alone STRIP for him!

This is, for the most part, the parents' fault. Video games are not a damned babysitter.

# Disgusting — avatar76 2009-03-15 19:33

I wonder if JustinGrazo will make a comment about how this is ok because the girl knew what she was doing. LOL

# Not to be the poster child for ADD, but . . . — yourmistakes 2009-03-15 20:31

this is the only thread i've ever seen on QJ that didn't immediately erupt into a flame war. jokes aside, i'm not even going to form an opinion with so little facts available. if he did it, his butthole will be the size of a mason jar in prison. pedos are at the bottom of the food chain. however, if she's making this up to cover her ass from mom and dad, shame on her; i hope she has no friends in high school. who knows, right?

# im not on the side of the pedo but — xche78x 2009-03-15 22:51

its the parent that's to be blamed for their stupid child's mistake.

first of all the game WARHAWK is rated

ESRB: Teen

OFLC: Mature

PEGI: 16+

11 years old girls shouldn't be playing with it.

i mentioned it before and will say it again now... Dear Stupid parents the PS3 Xbox 360 and Wii have Age Lock restriction, you can limit what your child can access even if they got a hold of mature games it wont run IF you responsible parents enable it on your child's console.

and to the pedophile, shame on you!

shame on you for using a console, a pc is more suitable for your needs.

# the guy should have just been more careful — Marmarflam 2009-03-16 00:33

breaking the law happens quickly...

And as has been said above maybe he didn't know she was 11.

11 year old girls can look pretty "grown up" if you know what i mean.

also the guy might have been stupid...

or he could just be a pedo, that was going for it.

if he was.... say hi to bubba mate XD

# RTFM — Marmarflam 2009-03-16 00:35

more like check your children on what they are doing...

this reminds me i need to check on my sister... -_-

# clap clap clap — Marmarflam 2009-03-16 00:45

great post!

i only have one thing to add:

girls are evil

# lol — 93pauott 2009-03-16 04:09

about that preview picture, no wonder your name is Karl. "b"

# .. — 93pauott 2009-03-16 04:11

wait... did you just say that girls are evil...?

# wow — cmonkey99 2009-03-16 09:24

There are going to be a flood of new users named similiar to pedobear and Thunder-kid

# ... — Justingraziano 2009-03-16 09:39

Honestly, If I had known how ageist they were I would have never bought the PS3, other than being ageist Sony is great.

# I SWEAR — Nine_Masquerade 2009-03-16 09:43

I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS 3.

# Agreed — WarLord 2009-03-16 17:16

Rapists and pedophiles should lose all breeding rights.

# Well — Stealth! 2009-03-18 07:30

Both are definitely at fault. I just don't see why she even gave him the nude photos and performed on webcam. :S
