A bizarre defense is being offered by a pedophile who was caught with child sexual abuse photos – he says he identifies as a 6-year-old girl and that the evil crap falls under his First Amendment right to free expression.
More about this idiot:
At his sentencing, Gobrick told the judge: ‘I’ve always been an eight-year-old girl. And even in my drawings and fantasies, I am always an eight-year-old girl.’
Gobrick acted as his own lawyer and openly spoke about his disturbing sketches and conversations while he was in jail, but it did not help his case. Instead, prosecutors called him ‘a danger to the public.’
Assistant Prosecutor Daniel Helmer said: ‘Even during the trial, the defendant continued to draw, talking about raping babies in the Kent County Jail and making other statements about how this is his constitutional right to continue to do so.’
Gobrick, a convicted sex offender from New York, was arrested in 2018 after a missing 17-year-old girl from Ohio was found at his home. During a police investigation, numerous child sex abuse images were found on Gobrick’s computer. Some of the images depicted babies being sexually assaulted, according to court records.
That is absolutely evil and disgusting, and it’s a testament to his mental illness that he believes this was a tenable defense. He received 10 to 20 years in prison, and it’s probably better if he serves that full term and is monitored afterward…
