Sounds like the neighbours deserved it.

First of all, You don't go kissing a stranger's child on the lips (4-year old or otherwise).
They had a right to be concerned. That was a red flag.

As for Barry Ardolf, lets list his crimes
• (Wi-Fi) Hacking
• Identity theft
• Death Threats
• Child pornography
• Framing someone for crimes he himself committed (pre-meditated)
• Harassment
And he did these things to more than one family.

It he a menace to society - Yes
Is he psychologically sound - No
Does he have a clear view of right and wrong - No

So the question is, "Is a prison sentence of 18 years in prison too much?"
As each of the crimes are treated on their own and each one carries it's own penalties, I'm not surprised at the amount of prison time his activities racked up.

Let's consider his actions. He could of just agreed, oop's my mistake, I'm clueless and didn't understand the social ramifications and fears of today's pedophilia world. But he didn't, he snapped, he went on a campaign to utterly destroy this family. He went on an "intellectual crime spree" with a pre-meditated intention to frame others for his crimes. And this was not a one time slip of reason, he also did the same thing to a "family in Brooklyn Park", making him a repeat offender.

All the signs are there. This guy sounds like he could snap (physically) any time. Home many people does he need to destroy before he decides the intellectual crimes aren't enough? What this guy needs is a good ol' evaluation of how he spends his time and on how revenge over minor things is a psychopathological act.
Also, Consider the damage he could have done if Matt Kostolnik didn't have the resources from working for a law firm - as I'm sure the Brooklyn Park family didn't. How many other people had he done this to, which went undetected?

It's sad that it all ads up to so many years but on a crime by crime basis, I guess he should have thought about that before he acted.
Do the crime - do the time.

Is 18 years enough?

Sounds about right.

What a sociopath. I think someone needs severe psychological help.

Yeah, those are some pretty heavy allegations.

I can't imagine how difficult it was for the neighbor to deal with allegations of child-porn. That's the kind of thing that would leave a stigma on your career, regardless of later being exonerated. People are easy to convince of scandalous things. It's like frivolous sexual harassment or unfounded rape allegations. The accused is often judged before any proof is provided, and that judgement remains.

He clearly had malicious intentions. He was trying to frame somebody for child pornography...seeing as that's what the neighbor would've gotten had he been convicted of it, no I don't think it was too much.

I doubt he'll do 18 years somehow..

i donno. framing someone is a serious crime. but kissing a child and hacking a website isn't 18 years bad noway no how

did you know that if you are aware of a teen who sends an underage tit/dick picture on his/her phone, you are required to contact the FBI?

Also, all evidence of the photo must be preserved and sent to the FBI or you are guilty of destroying evidence.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Moving to terrible channel.
