How many child porn sellers and sex predators have to be sent to AA and NA meetings before child advocates will care that AA and NA invite teens to these meetings with these people with no safety regulations and no leaders? Will the FBI ever care? Child protective services care? Somebody help us to stop this insanity.

NORTHAMPTON — A 30-year old Belchertown man, convicted of child pornography possession and dissemination, was sentenced Wednesday to a two-year jail term and probation on those charges.
Craig Cilley, of 418 Chauncey Walker Road will serve six months of that sentence in the Hampshire County House of Correction, with the remainder being suspended for three years while he is on probation.
During that time, Cilley must undergo sex offender treatment, have no unapproved contact with children under 18, not reside with any child under 18, have no employment or volunteer activity that would put him in contact with anyone under 18, remain drug free and submit to random testing, attend two Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous meetings a month, undergo mental health treatment, grant the probation department access to any of his digital devices to examine their contents and Internet activity, avoid providing any child under 16 access to any electronic device that has online capability and forfeit any computers, digital storage devices, cellphones and accessories used in the commission of the crimes for which he was convicted.
According to Assistant Northwestern District Attorney Christine Tetreault, who prosecuted the case, the state requested polygraph monitoring and Internet restrictions for Cilley as additional probation conditions, but both were denied by Judge Richard Carey.
Tetreault had requested a three- to four-year state prison sentence on the possession charges followed by a five-year period of probation. NA Daytona Meetings Holly Hill Fl.
Cilley pleaded guilty in Hampshire Superior Court in August to five counts of dissemination of child pornography and three counts of possession.
His sentencing was delayed to allow time for a therapist treating Cilley to prepare a report for the court. The sentencing was held Wednesday in Hampden Superior Court in Springfield to accommodate Carey’s schedule. St. John Drug Court AA Meetings.
Cilley became a suspect after investigators discovered his computer’s IP address having been involved in the collection of pornographic videos through a file-sharing site.
Tetreault said the videos featured children as young as 2 engaging in sex acts with adults.
Investigators also determined that others were able to access videos Cilley had downloaded through the file sharing site, leading to the dissemination charges.
Hi lovinglife52! I agree, this just puts other in danger and does little for the offender.
Many take their kids to 12 step meetings. When I have seen them in the park sitting there listening to the language and oh so not appropriate horror stories from both AA and NA members has been just shocking. Totally unacceptable. As a parent I would of NEVER EVER allowed my kid to listen to such horror stories.
Kids of addicts are treated like 2nd class citizens.
So you said that in the UK they would get a harsher sentence for this sort of thing? This guy basically got a slap on the wrist.
This is crazy, a couple of meetings a month are going to do nothing for him but puts others in danger. I really cannot see why this is appropriate in any way, even for people who thing AA and Na do good which I doubt.
I don’t think this would happen in the Uk where the sentences would be tougher for this type of crime. I saw many take children to meetings, especially lunch time ones with young mothers.
