Xbox Live pederast tries to claim he was joking photo

I've heard all sorts of excuses from kiddie fiddlers over the years, but the classic "I was joking" has to be the best one of all. That's the reason given by Ryan Edwin Donker, 33, who is currently facing charges for soliciting a 13-year-old and trying to obtain naked pictures of him over Xbox Live. With a name like Donker, I suppose the "joke" defense could stand up in court.

Not that we need to see any Donkers standing up. 

Donker chatted to an unnamed Xbox Live user from Fayetteville, Arkansas, and didn't do a very seductive job of it. He was arrested and extradited from Portsmouth, Virginia, because using Xbox Live to solicit kids isn't actually a very nice thing to do. He is currently charged with a felony and is held on $20,000 bond. 

His name is Donker.

If Pene Honey and Edwin Donker had a child, they could call it Pene Donker.

If I had a last name like Donker I'd would probably be inspired to be a pedophile as well. Not that the name is hindering what I am already in over my head with...

Is it bad that Im actually hoping that parents get word about this and get their kids under 16 years old off XBox Live?

It's funny because I always do this to everyone I play with on XBL. I don't discriminate.

Don't judge me.

"Meh. What's he gonna do, drive to the kids house? The parents apparently raised there son w/enough sense to tell 'em some guy was asking for nude pics. So he should block the guy on Live. Problem solved. "

I agree, what we really need to do is decriminalise pedophilia. A slap on the wrist should do.

Xbox Live creeps me out sometimes. I've heard guys say some weird things to girls online in mutliplayer. I'm going to agree with ThunderHeartXI on this one. If your last name is Donker you're pretty required to be a huge donk.

Is it odd that whenever there's news of a pederast in the media, everybody goes nuts, locks up their children, stars wanting to burn down houses.

When news of a pederast hits the interwebs, somebody invariably posts a picture of The Jesus.

I commend our enlightened internet-savy brethren!

He was clearly bullied as a child.

With a name like Donker, you have no choice but to be a pedophile.
