Ethan Ralph's December 16th, 2020 Revenge Porn Arrest & Trial - Trial outcome: Ralph pled No Contest, was found guilty and has a 1yr suspended sentence (not probation).

Judges aren't typically computer people. Non computer people tend to believe that lots of computer stuff is magical. The prosecution will need to overcome Ethan Ralph's hacking defense in as close to plain English as possible. That and "it was reasonable for Fai Fai to change her mind after the fact, also you can't consent after the fact your honor" is their hurdle. It's not an especially big hurdle, but judges are people and are unpredictable

I think he did it, and very obviously. Making a judge buy weird computer shit they likely don't understand is another thing entirely

even then ethan's messages to faith about dont call the cops is suspicious enough, i agree dont get your hopes and assume nothing will happen just to avoid disappointment but lets not act like ethan has any real leg to stand on, no if ethan isnt found guilty itll be through fumbling and bumbling and happenstance and nothing from his own input. your point of judges being unpredictable is true i dont argue with that i just think people are letting that cloud their to the point they think ethan's case is more solid than it actually is.

We all know he did it, but we all know that OJ Simpson is a murderer too. My main hope in this isn't a verdict of any sort, it's making legal professionals watch hours of the killstream and hopefully seeing things like "gunted" , "thumbing" and "a-logs" appear in a court transcript

I'm more curious to know what all of this nonsense is going to cost him financially. A private attorney, court fees, restitution to the Vickers, a custody battle (which he'd obviously lose), other damages, the list just always seems to stack. What are we looking at here, like 6k or more? It makes me wonder if he's going to have to sell his Sentra to cover his losses.

EDIT: and yeah, of course 18 years of child support payments.

Not looking too good here, my gunted friend.

I agree that you and I don't need to do it.

Juries can be unpredictable, but there's one thing about them that isn't: they love technical explanations from people with credentials. They call this "the CSI effect"—they practically expect forensic evidence now, or at least expert testimony. It's possible to prove Ethan leaked the tape with commonsense logic, because Kerr contemporaneously identified Ralph as the source of the message he opened, and that message contained a link to a video only Ralph had access to. That's sufficient proof prima facie of Ralph's identity as the person who released the video. But at least some jurors will want to see some matching of IP addresses to usernames, or something along those lines. If the prosecution does that, it should be the nail in the coffin for Ethan's "I was hacked" story, because he won't be able to rebut any of it.

And besides all that, people are repelled by the "I was hacked" defense. It's a cynical meme at this point. The public remembers people like Anthony Weiner, Steve Scully, Joy Reid, etc. IMO, Ethan might actually be better off not asserting this defense, because it will evoke eye rolls and hurt his credibility.

The criminal stuff will probably cost him around $5,000 out the door (fines, restitution, attorney fees), assuming his attorney's fee only contemplates pleading him out. A civil case could be much more costly, because he would have to hire a defense attorney, and because the potential damages Faith might seek. Let's say Ethan gets rung up for some absurd amount (e.g., $1,000,000), the judge will probably remit it to a figure between $50k and $100k. And then child support, which could be around $500 a month...

So basically, this whole saga has the potential to bankrupt him.

Ethan Ralph, you've impressed us today. You're officially not guilty. Your case was so rock hard, we're going to jail Matt Vickers, nullify your child support obligations, make Faith pay you, and give you full custody of the totally not-demon baby.

The evidence you've brought to light is so strong we're sending the police to bring in Notorious Pedophile Joshua Connor Moon of the Karen Farms from his third world shithole. Those aylawgs will no longer harass you and we'll be sending you everyone's full dox.

We've also talked with YouTube and had them overturn your ban. They're going to put you on the front page every night and ban everyone who's posted something negative about you.

Lastly, we're huge fans of your show. Everyone in attendance today is now a paid fan. Even Faith is back on the Ralphamale train.

*everyone gets up and claps*

With all the fun of Ralph having to waddle into court where his pregnant ex tells a judge about the disgusting person he is, I find that I sometimes lose sight of the real shit. When that kid is born there is a very good chance that Ralph will immediately turn into a deadbeat dad. Even if the law tells him that he doesn't have to pay to support his kid (which he will be brag about) that is what he will be. There are few things more disgusting than that.

That's why you Ralph, much like Kiro the Wolf or Johnny Yaniv, are a guilt free lolcow.

Was it worth it to own Null, @theralph? Shocking you might have to get a real job now. Gator's got an in with Trader Joe's, maybe he can hook you up with a cart collecting position.

But yeah, the emotional and mental damage is just beginning. He won't be there for PTA meetings, his son's first time playing sportsball, his prom, etc. The guntling may one day take on the sins of the father, just like how Ralph left his own dad for dead for two weeks while Ronnie was chewed up by bed bugs and ants. It's a sad cycle.

EDIT: Cleaned up some of the grammar.

So with the Trial mere hours i was thinking....
Wouldn't fai fai's video she made where she stated that she gave Gunt permission to film her be damaging to the case against Gunt? I feel as if Gunt is just gonna walk away maybe with a plea deal and/or a small fine.

For fuck sakes no. For the thousandth time no. Agreeing to being taped during sex is something people do all the time.

The CRIME is that a private video of sex was released without permission by Faith. Faith never said she gave anyone permission and Ralph continued to lie about being hacked. Her saying, "yeah, I said he could tape us fucking gunting" is not "Ralph can release this tape if my retarded ex is embarrassing him on a stream and he can use this tape to own him while I am in the mental ward".

Why is this so hard for people to understand?

The saddest part of this whole debacle is that the demon spawn is still alive and kicking one of his mother´s folds.

So who's rolling up to the trial? Hopefully we get some great photos of Ethan waddling in and out of the courtroom.

Due to Covid restrictions, no outsiders are allowed at the trial.

it might actually be worth it since he'd make more than five cents a night

i was trying to understand why people including ralph think its a slam dunk and i cant, i was thinking maybe ralph sees her saying its not revenge porn as her saying its not so bad and then arguing she only "disliked" it to get revenge on him but even in the messages he leaked its clearly not the case she wanted him desperately to go to the police to get justice, she can prove she cares and cared about the crime well before she even knew it was ethan himself. The gunt has literally nothing besides just aimless attacks on her character.

unless im wrong and somehow faith wanting to fuck ralph over is something thats a legal defense for ralph or ralph has some proof i missed that this all just a conspiracy against him and faith liked her staring in scat pornography out there,

Due to Covid restrictions, no outsiders are allowed at the trial.

fucking bullshit hopefully we get good before and after photos of gunt waddling short of breath up the court house steps.

I just noticed that you could craft a compelling prosecuting argument all around Ethan Ralph past actions and associations alone. You wouldn't even have to use the evidence of the case.

1. He's gonna try it as a defense if he doesn't plead out
2. If he's smart he'll plead out. Everyone else will let him, they're all overworked

No. Ralph isn't charged with filming her without her consent. That's a different crime. He's charged with disseminating the material without consent.

You could pretty much just show people that clip of him doxing Null's Mom as an indication of his vindictive nature and willingness to release private info/details to get back at someone. I don't know how the law views it but I'd wager few people would give him the benefit of the doubt after that just on a personal level.

I think Ralph thought it was a slam dunk because at the time he thought he had Faith fooled. As long as Faith thought his hacking story was real the story about her giving him permission to tape was enough to satiate the gunt guard. Don't forget that Faith was an 18 year old girl. Think back to when you were 18, think about any relative or person you might have interacted with that is around that age. They're not that attuned to the ways of the world at that age, they're just not. Fathead assumed she'd never figure it out. He didn't have her make that video because he thought it would win him a court case in the future, he made it to keep paypigs.

I'll even give the benefit of the doubt to people that think its valid. We saw that weird hostage video because of our delightful hobby of making fun of mongoloids. Someone dipping in now might assume Faith said more than she really did. Now people in denial that Ralph could really be that awful, which he is, are doubtful.

Shit, does anyone have that creepy video? I'll dig around and edit the post if I find it. I know as a fact that Faith has never said, "Ralph can put our sext tape online", and I also know that Ralph did it out of anger and believe it was done with malicious intent toward an 18 year old.
