Pretty sick shit right here. They state that the lack of resources prevented them from continuing their prosecution, my ass.

One of the few they did prosecute seems like he was honey potted.

d in April 2009 on one count of felony possession. Lawyers for the State Bar of California contended Grant's conduct is so morally reprehensible that he and other lawyers convicted of such a crime should be automatically disqualified from practicing law. Grant argued the crime isn't as bad as the bar says it is, because he didn't seek out two pornographic images depicting minors that were found on his computer. When he saw them, he said he deleted them.

Authorities found more than 300,000 images of adult pornography on his computers. During that time, Grant received two unsolicited emails containing sexual depictions of minors, court records show. He said he “instantly” deleted them.

I'd contribute like $20 to a GoFundMe.

Lack of resources? WTF! All of the people involved paid for child porn. ALL of them paid for it. Turn the evidence over to other agencies if necessary!
