Clayton Donoghue pleads guilty
We talked about Clayton Donoghue back in the Spring. He pleaded guilty in Orillia, Canada last month, according to the Orillia Packet;
Clayton Donoghue, 62, entered guilty pleas in Orillia court to the possession charge along with charges of uttering a forged document and obstructing a public officer of the Armed Forces.
While sentencing for two of the charges has been put over until Jan. 26, Justice George Beatty sentenced Donoghue to two years probation on the child pornography count.
Beatty also ordered a 10-year ban prohibiting Donoghue from attending parks and other areas where youth congregate, along with compelling him to provide a DNA sample and appear on the national sex offender registry.

Besides the above three counts, Donoghue also faces charges of accessing child pornography, making a forged document, using a forged document, breach of trust, unlawful use of military uniform (wears a distinctive mark) and unlawful use of military uniform (possession of a certificate).
He was granted bail in June, but he violated the terms of his parole, so he went back to jail in October to await trial.

Cocksucker.
If he wasn’t before he went in the can, he learned to while in it.
As someone said a while back, stolen valor is just the tip of the iceberg.
And, somewhere, someone is saying “But, it’s only fake medals, why bother with these poor fellas?”
I wonder why the Canadian Criminal Justice System is so friendly to child porn viewers. This SOB could have and should have gotten years in prison from the gitgo and walked away with 24 months of probation.
Shitbag!
Two years PROBATION for kiddie pron?
No, in a perfect world, it would be 20 years in general population with the word, “PAEDOPHILE” tattooed on his forehead.
After that, then let him face the other charges. But I’m generous that way.
Couldn’t agree more.
Well, we can say one good thing about him: At least he knows how to properly wear a military beret.
Far be it from me to defend this clown, but as to the child pornography charge, I wonder if he had or was accessing porn with people who were barely under the age of 18. Many people will remember Traci Lords who (according to Wikipedia) made 75 porn films before she turned 18.
Under the Canadian law any one who had or accessed a film like those made by Lords, or someone like her could be charged with child pornography. ( http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/section-163.1.html )
I am not saying that is what happened, but having a Traci Lords-ish film could account for the lower sentence.
To me, there is a difference between a film like that, and a film with kids under 12 years of age.
For the record, I only remember the scandal with Lords and have never seen a film by her and never had a desire to.
