The United States Department of Justice has released the ruling regarding the case against Ryan Hernandez, also known as RyanRocks. Earlier this year, the 21-year-old defendant was accused of and plead guilty to possessing over a thousand videos and images of child pornography, as well as stealing confidential information from Nintendo and distributing it to the public. This was not Hernandez's first offense--in 2016, when he was a minor, he had successfully phished the log in information from a Nintendo employee and used it to obtain documents and images about the Nintendo NX prior to its official reveal as the Nintendo Switch. This led to the FBI getting involved, to which they informed Hernandez that they knew of his activities, and advised him to not break the law again.

Hernandez did not listen, and proceeded to hack directly into Nintendo's servers in 2018 and 2019, even publicly showing off his skills to others on social media. Once more, the FBI visited his home in June 2019, arresting Hernandez after seizing his computers and hard drives, finding hundreds of stolen Nintendo documents and "over a thousand" explicit pictures and videos of minors. During his hearing in January 2020, Hernandez plead guilty to both counts, and today, he has been sentenced to three years in a prison designed for inmates "with cognitive challenges".

Additionally, Hernandez must pay $259,323 in restitution to Nintendo for damages.

It's amazing seeing multiple people hoping this guy either gets raped in prison or killed (or both). I literally cannot think of another class of crime that gets this sort of lynch mob to gather. Poisoning the water supply for profit? Nope. Beating the elderly? Probably not. Mass-killing spree? Not even close. But just breathe the word pedophile (not even child molester, mind you!) and you get a swarm of people all gleefully cheering for the offender to be violently raped and/or killed. It reminds me of the bad old days, when people used to gather in the town square with the family to enjoy hangings and lynchings.

My theory is that deep inside this guys are so fearfull to look inside themselves and found out they actually can feel things toward under age girls, that just the thought of it, makes them hate it and then they go in a rage. Because deep inside, they are probably pedos too.

In essence we are all our respective sexes, then if you are a douchebag, sure you could potentially abuse a minor. What I mean is, technically, we can ALL be pedos, and that is a TRUTH no one ever wants discuss or even dare to put thought into.

I have personally have the experience of looking at a girl from the back thinking WOW she is so hot! Then, I keep walking and finally I am able to see her face, and realize she might be 13 or something. And I am like, SHIT! I thought she was older (she was dressed like an older girld, tight jeans, etc). But, what I mean is, sex is sex. What we do or become later in life only depends on being decent people, or not.

From the case filing, the investigating FBI officer who had to hand it over to the feds once he discovered the CP reported that he examined two files, both of which showed 9-10 year old boys.

OOF

Oh damn.

Well, it doesn't matter if it's hard to believe (it's not) because he pled guilty to it. I don't understand why anyone would think it's a conspiracy when there's not a single indication that it was.

Just because you plea guilty to a charge, doesn't mean you are guilty. Plea Bargains actually do happen, and 3 years is a short time for his charges in the American Penal System.

That being said, its done and he went out of his way to get caught in my opinion.

Thank you for explaining plea bargains to me. It doesn't change the fact that there's no reason to suspect this stuff was planted on him.

As a lawyer I would withdraw from a case before I let my client plead guilty to evidence of child porn that was planted on his computer without ever even trying to argue that it was planted.

What probably happened is that he pled guilty in exchange for less time. This happens all the time. Almost all cases in America settle out of court with plea bargains. We both know this.

But I'm going to restate my only point one last time. There is absolutely no reason to think that the charges aren't legitimate. If we had a single reason to believe that Nintendo or the FBI planted child porn on his computer I never would have commented. The conspiracy is being drawn out of thin air.

If he were to be raped and/or murder, then he would be the only person directly involved in this case to be physically harmed. Unless he produced those images/videos himself, which we can assume he didn't given that he wasn't charged with any such counts, then he didn't so much as touch a child. There are people who actually do abuse children to produce those images. If you want to see people who possess the images/videos raped and/or killed, then what exactly are we supposed to threaten the actual abusers with? At that point, why would this guy even bother to restrain himself? He'd be killed for it anyway, might as well go abuse an actual kid, right? That's the kind of incentive system that you'd be setting up.

That being said, I am highly surprised that he only got 3 years. Usually US prison sentences are extremely punitive, especially where child pornography charges are concerned. A while back I saw a case where a guy got 30 years for possessing a similar amount of child pornography, I believe it was 6 counts that gave 5 years each. Shortly thereafter I saw a case where a guy got 25 years for violently raping a 5 year old. Makes sense, right?

WTF is this bullshit. Protecting children is the most important thing to the survival of our species, so it makes sense that people are violently opposed to pedophilia and similar evil acts against children. That's the result of millions of years of evolution.

People who abuse children are mentally ill, but people who defend pedophiles are less evolved than other humans. If the risk of a false positive weren't there, I think all pedos and pedo sympathizers should be forcibly castrated by the state.

Incredible how all the people calling for this man to be buried, murdered, tortured, gassed are americans. Typical. Sitting at home getting fatter and uglier and angrier by the second thinking they know the ins and outs of this case. Laying down blanket judgements.

Angry and nasty and arrogant and ignorant.

Ever wonder why anyone who crosses nintendo gets outed as a pedophile? Oh no but surely not the cutesy mushroom kingdom company.

pedo alert, go back to modding discord servers you nonce

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

There is a reason nintendo fanboys (not fans there's a difference) are a certain type.

You can look at a nintendo fanboy and tell. They're a bit special, a bit slow, none of them have ever really grown up properly, and they're somehow a bit "slower" haha.

that applies to all fanbois tho

For someone who have to beg Apple to open a phone, FBI seem really good at finding kiddy porn in people computer.

Ryan left it in unencrypted in a folder called "Bad stuff" on his desktop according to the case. No, I am not making this up.

I would say the death sentence is more well suited for people as low as that but that's just my opinion...why does someone like this have to be tied to the modding community making it look bad by connection...

I see no difference when people kill someone for fun and wanting a death sentence for justice, cause they effectively kill someone by sentence him to death same as when they kill someone for fun or whatever reason.
Its the same thing.
But ofc you can argue that but imo it makes no difference.

Death sentence should not even exist in this day and age. Jail is harsh but Ok,
i understand that, but i don't understand how can any human being and sane person accept former.

Just wanting someones death is fucked up enough imo, no matter what your reason for so is,
and should not be encouraged let alone made into reality.


You know...just saying. Only my opinion.

Only death i can understand but still can't fully accept as a human, but i understand,
is when family decides to turn off life support for their family member, ending his life (killing him effectively)
so he him self wont suffer.

Kindly explain how you would rehabilitate a pedo? You cant. Give him the fucking bullet.

I'm not eligible to say, nor do i know how to rehabilitate anyone, not just a person who has those tendencies.
Nor i was talking about that.

All i'm saying is that murder is a murder for me, no matter what the reason. It's that simple imo.
And tbh, killing someone is lesser problem (in a grand scheme of things for humanity and civilization, especially future civilisations) than actually wanting someones death. I see that as a root of a problem, and killing as a consequence.

As for people that do harm to others, well, jail was always an option...
Killing is just pleasing the masses and getting revenge and having control over who lives and who dies.

I just don't see how can taking that road make a humanity any good in any way.
Imo that's backward to caveman.

I forgot to mention that even killing in self defense is also killing. And even though it really is situation that's "him or me" and largely controlled by our instincts and situation, where death sentence is carefully planed murder (that no country that supports it was ever accused of murders),
so even though its a situation largely controlled by our instincts and survival instinct, a person still has to live with that.

And on last note...killing someone kills not just another person but a person wishing death soul. i mean soul of a person wishing death to someone.
It's really dangerous path.
Understanding death sentence logically is understandable, but wishing death is whole different thing and meaning.
Imo thats low of the low of humanity.

Sorry for my english if i wasnt very clear, i tryed to explaing my opinioon the bes as i can iin english.
But these topics have some special english words that i found dificult so perhaps whole sentences made no sense. sorry for that.

He has a point though, in the sense that the word in general gets thrown around far to easily. IMHO opinion there is difference in what kind of images he poses. Is it only hentai as in drawn made up chars, then I don't mind and even preffer them getting off to those then the alternative. If it's the alternative as in real photos then yeah the word and stigma is somewhat justified. Sadly most people don't differentiate and would like to ban those kind of hentai too without taking in account that they may take away the only thing that keeps some of the people who need those at bay.

Well I hope you know that the FBI didn't charge Hernandez because they found a bunch of hentai. He could have had terabytes of that stuff and not be charged. He had the real deal.

I see you're trying to make a point but it's not really applicable in this situation at all.

I was more so referring to the lynch mob mantality that some develop when the words gets thrown around. Even if it's "just" for the drawn variant.

Unsettling when someone interested in Nintendo leaks is also into evil like that

 

[NitroNick777]

Wait... This isn't the guy who's been drip-feeding us the data leaks, is it..?

Not him directly, no. But people in contact with him did get a lot of the data he had gotten from the heist. And those individuals have been leaking that data out slowly but surely. (Due to Ryan having lost internet access after prosecution from what I heard)

That's good then. Hope they keep feeding us that delicious slow drip. Lots of good stuff came from those leaks.
