Comic creator Tim Yates Pleads Guilty to Child Porn Distribution
Comic artist Timothy Yates has plead guilty to distributing child porn. Yates was arrested in April and officers found “thousands of images and videos of child sexual abuse.”
Yates studied at the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art and was the creator of Anne Bonnie which was published through Blue Juice Comics. That comic and his bio have been removed from the publisher’s site but his name remains on comics where he is credited as the colorist. The comics are still listed on digital comic services as of this post.
Yates was charged with one count child pornography. On several occasions, undercover officers accessed a peer-to-peer network and came across an IP address sharing images and videos. That IP address was tied to Yates. Yates was arrested on April 4.
Yates faces a minimum of five years in prison and a maximum sentence of 20 years and a $250,000 fine. He’ll be sentenced January 14, 2019.
Paul Walker was one of those actors that captivated viewers as soon as he hit the screen. For those viewers who were attracted to him, his piercing blue eyes and easy smile made them swoon. For the rest of us, it was his instant relatability that made us believe him in every role. Many movie fans, knew him from the Fast and The Furious movies but it was his other movies where I became a fan of his.
As you grow up, life usually punches you in the mouth often. I know it sounds like a hash statement, but one that rings true. Mike Tyson said in an interview “everyone has a game plan until they get punched in the mouth.” This very statement sums up life’s many downward spirals, that makes it feel like hell on earth.
There is no worse a feeling when someone get a raw deal. When someone purposefully swindles you, there is many feelings that come across people’s minds. The first thing, usually, is betrayal, especially when it is someone you know. Another feeling, is foolishness, as you tend to feel instantly not intelligent for being smart enough sense it.
I have mentioned in previous reviews, that one of my favorite movies of all time, is The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance?, an excellent movie starring John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and lee Marvin. The film resonated with me from the first I saw it with my grandfather. When I saw it the first time, I just wanted to sped time with my grandfather and movies especially westerns were our favorites. He was a big John Wayne fan and watched all his movies and all his TV shows. He told when he used to act in the Philippines, he used to try to emulate Wayne in his mannerisms for many of his characters.
The reason people come into our lives truly never makes sense. Some people makes friends for life based on relationships with other people. Some people make lifelong friends from serving in the military with each other. Others makes lifelong friends from having a unique experience together.
I can say that when it comes to the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, II have a love/ hate relationship with them. I loved the first movie, and my disdain with the series increased with every movie since. Most filmgoers love these movies simply, because of Johnny Depp’s performance as Jack Sparrow. Then, there is the chemistry between Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley, who don’t all appear in all the movies, but they make for some memorable scenes.
As a child growing up, I devoured books, I read every piece of fiction I could get my hands on. Just like most boys my age, I became obsessed over certain characters or certain people. Like I had a cousin who loved everything Ghostbusters. He watched all the movies including the newest one, and both cartoons, and had every toy they ever released. My obsession, was Star Wars, as me, my cousins, and my friends all had cases of figures of different characters from the film series.
My maternal grandfather was huge movie fan. He watched all the requisite action movies from PI, but also loved his movies from elsewhere. He loved Charles Bronson movies, and watched every single Death Wish movie. He also loved every single movie Michael Caine, was in. One of his favorites being Get Carter, as it was the quintessential high octane tough guy film.
I just finished re-reading Dune, as part of ComicBookGirl19’s Dune Club, which reminded me just how epic a writer Frank Herbert was. Not too many writers, that I grew up reading, whom made details sound so enticing. His research showed not only in Middle Eastern culture but also in science fiction. That whole world he created in those books, was so immersive and palatable, that you would believe sand worms existed in a planet called Arikis.
