Re: For using the childrens' faces without permission he could be sued for monetary damages. moondog Send a noteboard - 21/02/2011 03:46:48 PM
I doubt he really has that much in the way of property, though.

There's obviously nothing criminal about what he did from a "sexual predator" standpoint. If Michigan has crimes for misappropriation of identity, or if somehow they consider the images a form of libel against the children there may be some type of criminal libel that would apply.

However, he's obviously not a sexual predator and doesn't deserve 20 years.

What the hell did he sing, anyway?


apparently the lyrics included lines like "i want to make your panties mine" and "let me put my finger in your ass"
