Another Photographer staining the reputation of the rest of us.

Rather than trade for pics, this guy did what we know he did and assaulted his models. I wish I was surprised... but there is element that wants to use photography as a way of satisfying their 16 year old urges. And then it goes too far. And creates suspicion and a stain around the reputations of all photographers. I wish we could make it stop... but with easy access to pro-like equipment, its not hard to masquerade as a real photographer with honest intentions. Makes me so made.

Seems he had a going business... why destroy everything for this. His, his wife reputations.... think first people

Is it "common" for photographers to do give-aways? That seems a big red flag to me........Disgusting regardless.

Unforunatley every profession has it's share of dirtbags. This guy wasn't a photographer, he was a predator who used photography to access victims.

This kind of stuff is also why I won't shoot single women without someone else, preferably my wife, present.

he could just have paid a hooker and saved himself prison time

Not all of us are into models anyway. Nothing to stain.
