Kiddie Porn Defense: LA City Official blames his tumor

Kiddie Porn Defense: Official blames growth on spine, split personality

A public relations executive who resigned from an unpaid Los Angeles city job after FBI agents went to his Tarzana home looking for kiddie porn blames a now-excised growth on his spine for giving him a split personality and compelling him to do what normally would have been out of character.

Albert Abrams, 63, resigned Wednesday as president of the seven-member Board of Neighborhood Commissioners, which oversees the neighborhood councils that provide a link between local communities and City Hall. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa accepted the resignation.

How much do you guys want to bet that this guy will get away with just a slap on the wrist?

Seriously if the court really buys his story on how his tumor caused him to download and watch child pornography, people really need to wake up...In America, the one who tells the biggest lie and gives the most money ALWAYS wins the case.

"It is what my split personality decided to do. That's what happens when you have tumors," he replied. Did Abrams remember watching the pictures? "I was watching myself from a distance watching it." Did he enjoy them?" "Not at all," he said. Then why did he have them? "That's what we're trying to find out," Abrams said, adding that his doctor had just informed him what was going on.

Goodness

Yes a brain tumor might create impulsive acts or change behaviors but NOT make you do well thought out and planned acts such as signing up a community dedicated in SHARING child pornography. And his was a SPINE tumor. Is there a jury on the planet who will buy this?

Tell that to Maddoff lol

I hope this guy gets what he deserves but time will tell.

Wait... this happened in Los Angeles ????
and the guy is already 63????

There in LA county... by the time they get him too a courtroom setting he will already have died of old age...
there so backed up out there... thanks to department cut backs... it's taking years to get the simplest things done....

yup, if your going to do the crime.... do it in LA... where the Justice system is falling apart thanks to budgetary concerns

Los Angeles, one of the most corrupted cities in America. This guy will get away just like Casey Anthony. All he needs to do is buy doctors or experts on tumors to persuade the jury.

I saw a movie years ago about a young female teacher who molested & raped a boy student (or it may have been an episode of Law & Order SVU). it was totally out of character for her, yada yada, she was married, had been a stellar teacher, etc. long story short; she came to have a brain tumor and where the tumor was on her brain had impacted / altered her self-control / impulse control / plus she became a total horndog perv. she had the tumor removed and eventually was placed on probabtion. it was kind of a wait & see to find out if indeed she would ever do this again / prey on children. I'm not sure if there ever was a conclusion. anyway, my point, as much as I hate to say it, there might be some science to what this perv in the article is claiming. I think child molestation is about the most abhorrent act any human can commit. and in no way am I offering a defense; just throwing out something I saw.

If the tumour was removed, why didn't he remove the photos from his computer? He doesn't "need" them any more, right?

PS: you forgot a link to the article from which you copied that text.

That could be where he got the idea from.


"Hey, I gotta tuuuuummeeeeerrr so I cannot control myself." (try to imagine Schwarzenegger saying that like he did in Kindergarden Cop).
