A 32-year-old man who taught TaeKwondo summer camps for kids was sentenced recently to five decades behind bars after several of his victims discovered he was secretly recording them.

When reports of his behavior were made to police in 2021, detectives executed a search warrant at Erik Chen's home and found hundreds of thousands of images of child pornography stored on his electronic devices, according to a press release from the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office. .

Chen was ordered Friday to serve 50 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections by a Douglas County judge. He will also be required to register as a sex offender once he is released.

Yeah, I wasn’t sure if I was getting downvoted because people thought I was calling for violence, or because they just thought I was commenting nonsense.

I tried googling why Gary three times and it comes up with articles about it, and of course you can type that into YouTube and see the video. That dad shooting that molester is still one of the most surreal videos I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of crazy videos.

Oh it’s absolutely because people don’t understand the reference.

Gary is a hero.
