Counter-Strike clan leader accused of paedophilia

[nvrmor]

A 52 year old Canadian man has been arrested by police following allegations that he exploited his role as a Counter-Strike clan manager to solicit nude pictures of minors.

According to GotFrag.com, George "Spike" Finley of London, Ontario allegedly recruited boys aged between 10 and 13 to his clan, the Green Berets, telling them to lie about their ages to other gamers and the clan's leader, James O'Connor.

Finley is accused of asking the boys for nude pictures of themselves via the Ventrilo voice chat program. The boys allege that they were offered computer hardware, cash and clan leadership roles in return, and claim that on refusing Finley's requests, they were dropped from the clan.

rather disturbing. i think the parents need to have some charges brought up against them as well. 10 is a bit young for cs. it is an m rated game afterall. not that you would know this if you purchased the game from steam, as there are zero esrb ratings info on any of the games available from steam. i think valve really need to get on top of a situation like this, and 1. post esrb ratings for all of the games available from steam, 2. impliment a parantel control into steam, 3. ban the accounts of the people who allowed their kids access to this game/s. dont know how culpable valve could be to a lawsuit from an incident like this, if at all, but as responsible developers i think they really should atleast post esrb data on games they sell.

[Drackard]

I'd give him a pic of a censored llama and take the money

 

[Codcommando]

Get your facts straight he didnt just recruit people between 10-13. Im 17 and he recruited me. And the naked pics were worth it, he gave me round IDE cables and a floppy drive:dork:

A fithty-two year old playing CS, not surprised he was the one.

its very very worrying to think people like this do what they do freely and a shame he used a medium such as counter strike to do it hang the fooker till his head turn a dark shade of purple

So wait a second, the kids were DUMB enough to do this, wow I don't know whats worse.

 

[Drackard]

Theyre are only 10 years old bare in mind, most 10 year olds arn't aware of the dangers on the internet

you know, i'm well aware that this is getting old, but it reminds me of a celebrity that was charged with this. anyway, i think that the majority of counter-strike players are either too young, really weird, or even both. that doesn't mean im too young and weird, im perfectly normal. just your average everyday neighbor that watches you from his window, whether you have a neighbor or not... but one thing disturbes me is how stupid you have to be to post nude pictures of yourself online, especially if you're 10-13 years old. what a world, what a world. then again, this is america

 

[DEATHMASTER]

It was a canadian guy :naughty:

VALVe should also shut down those kids that are 10 years old, Steam accounts you have to be 12 or 13 to legally own an account.

You'd expect that from your average CS player.
