In case your friends are perverts, too.


Keep your fingers crossed that your chosen friends have done something questionable enough online that they'll consider federal prison survival tactics for at least a couple of minutes. At LEAST a couple of minutes.

Dear Mr. XXXXXX:

Our organization has been active since 2001 in investigating and reporting illegal activities related to the online solicitation and corruption of minors. Several internet accounts registered to your name have been monitored by our organization since September of 2007. Multiple accounts have been identified as containing inappropriate or unlawful contact or attempted contact with minors or individuals purporting to be minors. Such contact includes repeated attempted access to the personal webpages of minors for purposes prohibited by law. These accounts include, but may not be limited to:

--------------------------------------
You may not be aware that it is a violation of several state and federal statutes to solicit minors, attempt to solicit minors, or distribute corruptive materials to minors via the internet. It appears that your current activity violates the following state and federal statutes, nonexclusive:

State Code § 728.12 Sexual Exploitation of a Minor – Class “C” Felony

United States Code § 2G2.1 Sexually Exploiting a Minor by Production of Sexually Explicit Visual or Printed Material – Base Offense Level 32

United States Code § 2G2.2 Receiving, Transporting, Shipping, Soliciting, or Advertising Material Involving the Sexual Exploitation of a Minor – Base Offense Level 18

Count I – Base Level + 2 – At least 10 images but fewer than 150

Count II – Base Level + 7 – Distribution to a minor intended to
persuade, induce, entice, coerce, or facilitate the travel of the minor to engage in prohibited sexual conduct

United States Code § 2G3.1 Importing, Transporting, or Mailing Obscene Matter; Transferring Obscene Matter to a Minor – Base Offense Level 10

Because of your activities, you have been placed on a short list of individuals for continued intensive monitoring. This list, as well as all documentation and results from our investigation, will be provided to the federal prosecutor for the Southern District of [State] thirty (30) days after your receipt of this letter. We advise that you discontinue any and all unlawful internet usage immediately, although it will ultimately be the determination of the federal prosecutor whether to bring the above charges against you.

On a personal note from our coalition: We, as parents, find your actions reprehensible and we hope that you will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Sincerely,



T. Blommers
Executive Director
