Rip him apart slowly piece by piece over years and years in a dark, dank cell under supermax.

jesus christ. only max 20yrs? how likely is he to get the max? feels like it should be min 20yrs not just max. the article says investigation began in 2019 and his trial begins end of oct this year 2024. 5yrs later yeesh, was he just free that whole time?

insane how small the animation industry is and this dude got to be a top animator for pixar/disney/dreamworks for decades.

I didn't want to do a "roundup" post because this is already pretty bleak, but there's another animator (worked freelance for cartoon network over several years) who was recently arrested on possession CP charges earlier this year. So this guy isn't the only one recently, sadly enough.

France doesn’t care about sex crimes. He is not going to get a long prison sentence.

Holy shit, 20 years is not near enough for what he did. He should never have another second of freedom.
