LiveJournal: Child Rape, Child Molestation, Child Sex, Child Porn....
These are just a few of the “interests” that LiveJournal.com users name in their journals and profiles. Some are much worse and I won’t even print them here.
As we’ve reported before, LiveJournal.com hosts many journals/sites that have child pornography and child rape admissions/stories on them. Unfortunately LiveJournal cares more about free speech than they do about child safety and child porn laws.
One author talks about how "I can find 5-year-olds to be ‘hot’” and he tries to justify a child giving consent to having sex with an adult.
Another LiveJournal site, the author talks graphically about her Daddy raping his 9 year old daughter and sharing her with his friends. This was written as an explicit porn sex story. Concerned that there may have been child abuse ocurring we contacted the LJ Abuse Team. Their response was:
“…we cannot take action on content which is merely descriptive or philosophical in nature..”
So it’s OK to describe in graphic detail the sexual abuse and rape of a nine year old girl by her father and his friends, even though the author says it’s a true statement of something that actually happened?
Another LiveJournal site describes in detail the rape and continued sexual abuse of a 13 or 14 year old babysitter and her friend by a 35 year old man. This was written from the 35 year old man’s point of view. It was written, once again, as an explicit sex porn story, to sexually arouse pedophiles and child molesters. It also goes on to say “her brother had been f****ing her regularly for 5 years already.”
Well, that would have made her 8 or 9 years old when her brother started “f***ing” her. Was the LJ Abuse Team concerned that this may have not been “just a story” and that a crime may have been committed? Not in the least.
LJ’s Abuse team responded to my complaint by saying:
” Further, we regard the description of an illegal activity, an interest in an illegal activity, fantasizing about illegal activity, or even admitting to an illegal activity as something other than the commission of that activity. That is to say: writing a LiveJournal entry about having sexual attraction to minors is different than using LiveJournal to solicit a minor for sexual contact. The first is something on which we are unable to take any action; the second is something that we would consider actionable.In this case the story to which you have linked is disturbing. However, as the user describes it as "just a story," absent any accompanying imagery or incitement, there is no action we can take.”
I have a problem with the part about “even admitting to an illegal activity as something other than the commission of that activity.” This is America. The last time I checked, when someone admits to an illegal activity, the police need to be called to investigate.
Once again, it’s OK to write any type of graphic child rape material, as long as you say “it’s just a story” to cover yourself.
“writing a LiveJournal entry about having sexual attraction to minors” is not what these journals are doing. They are writing graphic, explicit descriptions of adult-child sex, with the express purpose of sexually arousing pedophiles and child molesters. Many of these sites authors are admitting to have committed a crime against a child. LiveJournal is required by law to report this. As I have told LJ before… “It is not ok for you to make judgments on whether this is a real crime that took place or not. That is up to Law Enforcement. It is not up to you to decide if "an admission to illegal activity is not the same as the commission of the crime." That is also up to Law Enforcement.”
LiveJournal refuses to enforce their TOS (Terms Of Service) which state, “You agree to NOT use the Service to: Upload, post or otherwise transmit any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, …” Instead they interpret the TOS to suit their own needs and to accommodate the pedophiles and child molesters that they so vehemently defend.
Allowing users to post things like, “I am filled with lust every time I see a cute little girl. I crave things that can't happen. I dream about things that would get me arrested. I have no control over what I find attractive..” is very dangerous.
I recently told LiveJournal: “I suggest you contact your local law enforcement before they have to go and look for you. It will save them a lot of time and trouble and might possibly make you appear more willing to cooperate with them. Although your negligent responses to this matter prove otherwise.”
It’s time for some accountability. It’s time for LiveJournal and other sites to take responsibility for the actions of their users. I realize it is a huge burden to police such a large internet society, but when someone like WFI reports this type of abuse, it should not require weeks of arguments and emails to law enforcement agencies to get the sites deleted.

LiveJournal Allows Child Rapist Free Rein
LiveJournal (LJ) has many sexually explicit “journals” or personal sites that it hosts. I have no problem with that. It’s intended for adults and is legal, adult oriented material. LJ allows free sites for people to post their personal thoughts and feelings and to let anyone view this and comment on it. I have no problem with that either.
LJ also allows admitted child rapists, child molesters, and child abusers unlimited freedom to post about their exploitation and abuse. I have a serious problem with this.
We recently reported a LJ site/journal that described in gruesome detail the rape/molestation of a 3 year old boy by his older brother. This child molester went on to say that he continues to molest boys.
What was LJ’s response?
Dear LiveJournal user,
We acknowledge that this content is disturbing. However, it is not a violation of the LiveJournal Terms of Service to admit to having committed an illegal activity. It is only a violation to incite others to this activity or to solicit information on how to commit, or assistance in committing, an illegal activity. As this is not the case here, we will not be able to take any action.
We do take the issue of child pornography very seriously and will take swift action against any user who is posting pornographic images of minors, or using their journal to solicit minors for sexual activity. However, this user has not done so, and as they are not in violation of the LiveJournal Terms of Service, we will be unable to take any action.
Regards,
Theresa
LiveJournal Abuse Team
Did this answer your question?
No Theresa, this did not answer my question. I want to know how you can allow someone who not only admits to committing a crime, but describes it in graphic detail, to continue to post about it on your servers.
I have reported LJ and this site/journal to the NCMEC/cyber tip line. I also urged LJ to contact the NCMEC and report the child molester that they are accommodating with free web space to describe the illegal activities he commits. LJ is breaking the law by not reporting this crime and by ignoring it.
UDATE: Here's the latest response from LJ about this site we reported:
"Please allow us to explain our reasoning. First, the user is describing something that took place years ago, and there is noindication that such activities continue. Second, the user indicates that he himself was a minor at the time. Finally, although the useradmitted to illegal activities, an admission to illegal activity is not the same as the commission of the crime."

My Response: You just admitted that this LiveJournal user committed a crime. The fact that it took place years ago does not give you the right to just ignore it. A crime was committed. Laws were broken. A child was abused. Period.
You are required by law to report this. It is not ok for you to make judgements on whether this is a real crime that took place or not. That is up to Law Enforcement. It is not up to you to decide if " an admission to illegal activity is not the same as the commission of the crime." That is also up to Law Enforcement.
It's pretty black and white to me. This appears to be criminal on the part of LiveJournal. I have already reported this journal and your actions, or lack thereof, to law enforcement. I suggest you contact your local law enforcement before they have to go and look for you. It will save them a lot of time and trouble and might possibly make you appear more willing to cooperate with them. Although your negligent responses to this matter prove otherwise.
We practically cleaned out Blogger of pedophile web sites. We plan on doing the same with LiveJournal.
Anyone who wants to join in, please let us know and we will add you to our volunteer group.

Latest Update: The site that this article is about has now been deleted. There are however, many more out there that LiveJournal continues to refuse to remove....
