The website JustinsFriends.com and its creator Justin Berry, currently a 20 year old man from California, have recently received a lot of national media attention. Eichenwald has told a riveting story which has captured the hearts, minds and fears of every parent. In well written prose he tells us of "the secret life of a teenager who was lured into selling images of his body on the Internet".
He talks about a virtual universe that preyed on Justin. In this universe,
"adults hunt for minors on legitimate sites used by Webcam owners who post contact information in hopes of attracting friends. If children respond to messages, adults spend time 'grooming' them - with praise, attention and gifts - before seeking to persuade them to film themselves pornographically."

Casey, including his friends and family, does not condone child pornography or underage pornographic webcaming. Those who use the internet to hunt for and groom minors, especially when the intent is to entice the children into performing pornographic acts, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Casey has never condoned, fostered, or supported such activates. We all truly feel sorry for what happened to Justin in his early teens and hope that those responsible are bought to justice
However, what happened to Justin cannot be used to justify or excuse his own illegal activities. While over the age of 18, Justin participated – by his own admission – in the production and distribution of child pornography; and in doing so, he misrepresented to his subscribers and his business associates the true nature of his activities. Those who bought into his web sites felt that they were buying into legal adult gay porn. In his advertising, Justin claimed to be recruiting models over the age of 18 and the content he was delivering did not lead anybody to believe otherwise. This misrepresentation of the truth and his admitted exploitation of underage models we also find abhorrent. Nothing in Justin’s past can justify this type of activity.
