Matthew White downloaded what he thought was a girls gone wild video, but turned out to be child pornography. He deleted it right away, but for the simple accident that he downloaded the wrong thing, he now faces up to twenty years in jail. His public defender has advised him to plead guilty in hopes of lowering the possible sentence to three and a half years in prison, ten years probation, and he must REGISTER as a Sex Offender. Basically, this kid's future is ruined. He's twenty-two years old and has to go to jail for an accident. And even if the jail time isn't what ruins his life, the sex offender label is what will.
