I am confused how they are just throwing "Oh, and they were also charged with production of child pornography," in there as an afterthought....

Thank you! I was like “really burying the lede there”

Both men were also charged with the production of child pornography.

Very large deal as well.

Only reason this case got prosecuted.

Yeah I'm a bit confused on the details? Isn't it freedom of speech to plan it and talk about it but only convictable if they try to implement their plan? I'm a natural born US citizen, is it illegal to have fantasies? Also their plan is fucking gross and I don't condone it
