Man charged with child pornography over sex doll says he bought it to replace son

[Shimazu]

Wow. I have to say that this comment section has been amazingly more.. tolerant than I would have expected.

I'm of the persuasion that it's an inanimate object, regardless of what use it was or wasn't intended to have. Calling it child pornography seems kinda intellectually bankrupt. There's no victim here. Who is this law supposed to be protecting? Even if he intends to bone the thing, he'd effectively just be masturbating in his own house. Is it weird? Yes. Creepy? Certainly. But is it actually physically or psychologically harming someone else? No. It's just an over-elaborate form of masturbation.
Law enforcement and the courts should be going after real crimes, not wasting time trying to loophole some sad but otherwise (as far as we know) law abiding old bastard into prison.

I searched online for "vinyl lifelike child doll" and this is the first item that came up.

32 inches tall. They can usually wear real kids clothes. Only $200.


His dead little son wore makeup and lingerie?!

Maybe the lederhosen was a turn off?

And maybe his son was trans so he ordered the girl sex doll?


LOL nah, we all know this fool was getting bored fake teen porn and too lazy to go kidnap an actual child so he thought banging a doll would make his little weenie satisfied. Yay for strict and slightly generalized Canadian laws, but double yay that this dude didn't decide to take holiday to Cambodia or Thailand and buy himself a real boy to rape and ruin. Nip it in the bud, Canada.

This story has been on the site for two weeks, Miz Fives, and I still don't know WTF to make of it.

It's weird and creepy and overall disturbing.

I think we can ALL agree on that!

Wrong again. There does not always need to be a victim per se to protect. The law is to protect society from this type of person. It is child porn and by having it he is not some "law abiding old bastard",.

Story update!

N.L. man not guilty of possessing child porn — Crown fails to prove he knew sex doll he bought was child-sized

Kenneth Harrisson said he meant to order an adult-sized doll for companionship to replace his son, who died in infancy decades earlier

Protecting the public from a man with weird masturbatory habits?
The man has no criminal record. Boning a doll of any size in the privacy of his own home threatens no one. He didn't possess any child porn when police searched his home. Considering all that, "otherwise law abiding old bastard" seems to hold up.

What "type of person" is he?

Sooo we are going with his son looking like this? Cause whether his intentions are good or not, that mouth is for dicks. It shouldn't even be a thing! Goddammit China stop trying to get us to fuck our kids!

What "type of person" is he?

A pedophile.

Per your link:

"Judge Mark Pike said he accepted expert testimony that the doll was child pornography, and said that Kenneth Harrisson’s stated reasons for ordering it did not ring true.

But the judge concluded the Crown failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Harrisson knew what was in the box delivered to his St. John’s home in 2013.......

Canada’s Criminal Code defines child pornography as “a photographic, film, video or other visual representation, whether or not it was made by electronic or mechanical means” that shows a person who is, or depicted as being, under 18 years old engaged in explicit sexual activity.

Pike said Thursday he accepted the evidence from forensic psychiatrist Peter Collins, who testified in 2017 that the doll was “prepubescent” and was advertised as child pornography.

Pike said the item met the criminal code definition, but said criminal possession comes down to knowledge."
