Another reason why I have trouble sleeping at night.
I can not even begin to understand the mindset of these sick, sick individuals.
I weep for those who have been harmed.
This article is just flat out shuddersome.

Man faces federal porn charge
He is accused of directing man raping girl, watching on Internet

An Austin man is accused of viewing a live Internet broadcast of a man who might have been raping his young daughter and was ordered detained without bail Monday pending trial on child pornography charges.
At an Austin federal court hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert Pitman ruled that Steven Keith Hawkins is a danger to the community.
Hawkins, 47, is accused of using Internet instant messaging software to participate in chat rooms in which the exploitation of children was the main topic, Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Devlin said.
During one chat session in August 2003, Hawkins viewed a man raping a girl believed to be his daughter and typed instructions "as to what to do with the child," said Devlin, who called the case "disturbing."
Hawkins' public defender could not be reached for comment. Devlin said that during an interview with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, Hawkins denied watching the live feed of the child rape.
Hawkins was charged in a criminal complaint filed last week with possession and distribution of child pornography.
During a search of his Austin home on June 14, agents seized his computer hard drive and a computer disk that had 100 images and 12 videos of child pornography, according to the complaint.
Travis Central Appraisal District records indicate that Hawkins lives in North Austin on Slow Poke Drive, which is north of Parmer Lane and west of Interstate 35.
Devlin said agents have reviewed chat logs and received other information but have not seen video of the Internet broadcasts.
He would not be specific about that other information and declined to say where the chat logs came from.
He also declined to say whether authorities know the iden ies of the others who participated in the chat rooms or where they are from.
In chat room conversations during 2004 and 2005, Hawkins asked people to "play with children via Web-cam," discussed how one man sexually abused a baby and bragged "that he had sex 'all the way' with his 9-year-old niece," Devlin said.
During the hearing Monday, Hawkins' wife, LeaneHawkins, said the couple doesn't have a 9-year-old niece, and investigators haven't found evidence of one, Devlin said.
Leane Hawkins testified that she knows nothing about the allegations against her husband. She could not be reached for further comment.
Pitman, in ordering Hawkins detained, wrote that even after his home was searched, he continued to download child pornography.
That suggests "an inability or unwillingness to discontinue this illegal activity," Pitman wrote in court do ents.
As recently as July 12, according to court do ents, Hawkins used instant messaging to ask someone to molest a child and broadcast it on the Internet. It is unclear whether he was successful.

Blaze's Take: I briefly talked about it on my blog, but I just can't even begin if the feds case is true.
Another reason why I have trouble sleeping at night.

wow, that is disgusting. A man showing a video feed of him raping his young daughter while taking instruction from some stranger over the net? Sicko should have his penis cut off.
:vomit :vomit :vomit
Bas should be shot in the head. Both of them.
not painful enough.Bas should be shot in the head. Both of them.
Oh I think it will be painful enough when they face the judgement of Christ.
Disgusting.
Thats pretty sick right there.
Truer words were never spoken.
What is this, the rape forum?
The only positive is that prison inmates hate pedophiles. He will get his ass plugged nightly for what he did and then probably shanked.
:vomit That is sick!
Not that I'm any less disturbed, but the first time I read this, I thought they meant the man was raping Hawkins' daughter.During one chat session in August 2003, Hawkins viewed a man raping a girl believed to be his daughter
You're right...a copy editor should have probably caught that.
Kill the mother er immediately. No wasting money on a lost cause trying to rehabilitate the . Freaks who do harm to children must be removed from society and extinguished from life as we know it without hesitation.
Did they find the guy that was actually raping his daughter or just the dude watching? Eitherway both these dudes should get their asses beat to death. ing with kids like that.
