Pedo scum
The people that have any crime of a sexual and/physically abusive nature that include minors need the whole book thrown at them. Not a hypothetical book, a very large, bust your face and your ass book – so they and others like them learn not to mess around with our children. The internet world is rapidly growing to give these monsters more to feed off of, the repercussions need to grow just as swiftly.
They will Slap his hand and send him home that’s all they do to chos
Craig Schwoboda vigilante justice is alive and well
Kim Johnson oh how do u figure? The vigilante dosent go to jail for killing the assailant?
Midnatt Rider well, you would. Because you’re stupid.
Midnatt Rider 🤫
If convicted just give him the death penalty.
Nice job judge, a whole 80 dollars to get out of jail
Lives in a perfect spot, across from Challenger elementary school 🤔
Woodchipper!
Under 14… 😥 so disgusting
There is no way this guy should get out of jail If you guys read the paperwork on this it is absolutely disgusting there is no way that he should be released from jail at all. I should put the whole paperwork on here for people to see He’s a pig and absolute pig He is guilty and he should not get out of jail there’s no reason they should let him out He’s been doing this his whole life to girls He thinks this is a normal thing to do He’s disgusting
He actually raped 14-year-old girls He actually did it They were 14-year-old girls two of them
In no way am I defineding him. He did not rape anyone.
He’s out He’s out of jail are you freaking kidding me unbelievable there’s no way he should be out I should put all the paperwork on here people would be absolutely disgusted
Minnesota politicians and courts love being easy on deviants. If I had young children I would find a better place to live, than this state.
Bart Kenner or get a shotgun? MN is a good state, a lot of people in it are fucked tho. having children you gotta sacrifice yourself, from the second you have them, your life before doesn’t matter. sex offenders need to start getting shot not publicly “humiliated” the offense ain’t about humility, the act affects another life so greatly theirs need to be taken away, you’ll see less of them that’s for sure.
Gage Allen Smith we need to be careful how we speak on FB, but i would say the state of MN can remove your children if that child is convinced to be a certain way and public schools push agendas, even rural schools. Just be aware of your teachers and school board and the laws in this state.
gotcha, I can also remove myself and them from anywhere I’d please. I know what you’re talking about tho.
Bart Kenner It is everywhere
Bart Kenner truth
Found him on Facebook 😡 nigga looks like a straight up chomo hope I see him sometime soon sick mfs nowadays gonna get there hands cut off and fingers broke one by one before cutting them off
Another pillar of the community ! He will fit right in with Walz and the Epstein clients in prison. Knowing Pennington county, they will probably give him a Government job
BRYTON Shawn Charles. What’s sad it barely shows his name. People who do this are disgusting pieces of sh%t
I don’t bielve it I think he was set up
Mike Jelen *believe
Mike Jelen oh I don’t think he was set up It was him doing it
He thought the same about Calvin
You don’t believe something he already got charged with? Damn you must be stupid lmao set up or not that’s fucking disgusting
Mike Jelen 😂
You are a crazy nut job as well I bet
Mike Jelen I bet you don’t have any children
There were previous allegations towards him, it’s no surprise this one surfaces. 🤷♀️.
You used to be friends with him, cool….but, you never know someone’s true intentions, even when you think you know them.
Don’t stick up for a predator. It doesn’t look good.
I’m baffled that you think him being set up makes this situation any better?
He was talking to a minor, that’s simply all that has to be said.
Alissa Otto no where in the report does it say “he was talking to minors.”
Oh, sorry. The fact that it was pictures of a minor makes it that much better, vs. talking to them. 🙄
Trying to defend the situation is gross. Either way, this is not okay.
I can’t feel bad for him or anyone who does anything of the sort. If he didn’t want to world to know this side of him, he shouldn’t have done it. Simple as that.
No person in their right mind just “looks” at pornographic photos of children. Stop trying to justify a disgusting situation.
Mike Jelen I’ll back this upalso everyone saying they could see this being true. Hasn’t talked to bryton in the last 5 years. They do not know who he is right now how hes grown n changed. Everyone was a f’ck boy in their 20s. He’s grown n changed. (Im not defending the charges) hes not the same person he was in his 20s.
Mike Jelen you look like a straight up chomo to 💯 protecting a chomo makes you look bad dude 🤷♂️
He ain’t been charged yet lmfao hes facing them charges dude had a $800 bail and bailed out right away he wasent even at work today or the day befor hes gonna go in to hiding 😂 800 is ridiculous yet if it was some.kinda drug charge they be hitting him.with a 10k or more bail said how they see our kids life mean less then drugs or a reckless driving teen doing donuts in a empty parking lot
Evan Timm he was at work yesterday
Rachelle Larson oh well never saw him ether way lol
God I hope this POS actually gets sent to a prison where he will get the real justice his victims deserve. But I’ve noticed so many of these fucking pedos get probation which should be illegal.
Cut his throat –
Piss on the ashes
Not sure what this obsession with vulnerable children is but it definitely needs to come to a screeching stop. I’m pretty sure Florida is shooting for the death penalty on pedos. To these creepy guys that get off on this. Start hooking up with old women. They may teach you a thing or two. The justice system needs to quit protecting these guys as well. Some old guy in the city I live in just plead guilty to raping a homeless teen. His sentence was 68 days credited for jail time served and 2 years probation. That’s insane. I just did two years for staying with my partner of 12 years for a verbal domestic. Unfortunately the ones writing these laws are pedos themselves.
Sending prayers, I pray you seek the phycological help you need.
