A 10-year-old Folsom boy who was enticed by $20 worth of free Xbox Live credits, told his parents recently he had sent nude photographs of himself to a man he met online.

Folsom Police investigators confirmed the man’s identity as Timothy Wayne Hammerstone, 22, of Polk City Florida.

The relationship between Hammerstone and the victim began in December 2009 after they met through his internet connected Xbox gaming system while playing a military simulation game.

Hammerstone recruited the juvenile to his “clan,” or team, and then began making inappropriate requests.

Hammerstone’s reach extended into the victim’s Folsom group of friends who play the same game, and lasted until July 2010.

Hammerstone even went as far as setting up new accounts for the victim and at least one friend in order to avoid detection by the children’s’ parents.

Based on the Folsom investigation, Polk County Sheriff’s detectives searched Hammerstone’s home yesterday and located numerous images of child pornography depicting several different children. He was arrested and booked into the Polk County jail on 16 counts of possession child pornography.

Folsom Police Detective Andrew Bates said parents need to be made aware that internet connected gaming systems such as Xbox and PlayStation pose the same threats as an internet connected computer or telephone. These game systems allow the users to speak to one another, send text messages and transfer photographs as well as live video feeds.

Devices such as these pose a serious threat to the safety of children unless they are closely monitored by an adult.

Man i hope he gets bum raped in jail the sicko. Wish we lived in a world where kids were safe i have 2 daughters and its sad when they cant be safe playing in the street or even in the house on video games

I agree man.

Some people are just so sick and twisted, I mean it seems anything you do or anywhere you go, it poses as a risk factor because of all these sickos.

Its because there is no real deterrent prison is like a short holiday for them. They should all get death sentence as those poor children being abused in them images are dead inside.

Cochino ! Pervert, cochino = sicko

That's messed up. Atleast go for the girls.

Well if the sentence is not enough then give them a fine, and a longer sentence, make the punishment worse so they are afraid to do it.

Longer? How about indefinatly? They should not be released ever again they are very likely to reoffend. And i dont think my or anyone elses kids should be made to feel unsafe because the law is to soft and thinks these animals have human rights, They lost their human rights the minute they became wrongly interested in innocent children.

It would be interesting to know what games the boy's were playing cos if it was MW2, maybe the rents should not let them play that kinda game, I'm not saying it's there fault, but this would have added to it, 10 year old playing an 18 year old game, this would just add to the sick ****s out there.

On a different point, as if they are using Xbox live and the PSN for doing this shit, the rents prob thinking, "ok my son not going online by him self as there are sick ****s out there, so I'll let him play in xBox live or PSN, No wait there are sik ****s there too".

there is just no need for any of it none at all. they should just all die suck ****ers :mad:

LOLLLLLLLL Pedooooooooooooooo
