The justice system wants to save you the heartbreak of meeting the man of your dreams... and having him tell you he's, like, sort of into kiddie porn. Ignorance is bliss? The NY Post reports that 51-year-old Lamont Reeves got himself 40 months behind bars after being busted for possessing three DVDs of the sickening genre and stealing $100K in Social Security payments sent to his dead father. And ladies, he's single!
Brooklyn Judge Nicholas Garaufis imposed a probation requirement on Reeves, saying that he would need to "notify the probation department when he establishes a significant romantic relationship... and inform the other party of his prior criminal history concerning his sex offenses." Sounds fair enough. But yesterday three Manhattan federal appeals court judges declared the order too confusing, one saying, "What makes a relationship 'romantic,' let alone 'significant' in its romantic depth, can be the subject of endless debate across generations, regions and genders."
And with that, the condition was dropped, and now Reeves is free to keep his secrets from future partners. Thank goodness for Google!
