Uhhh, cop probably wasn't the right job for you

What does a man have to say to get arrested and jailed for 30 years immediately after a job interview with a local police department? Starting with admitting to possessing child porn and having sex with a minor is a good start.

A 21-year-old man, who told Montgomery police during a job interview that he possessed child pornography and had sex with an underage girl, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Circuit Judge Ben Fuller sentenced Max D. Hinton of Deatsville on Monday after his conviction of second-degree rape, sodomy , enticing a child for immoral purposes and producing and possessing child pornography.

The girl testified the two had consensual sex when she was 15 and he was 17. But a person younger than 16 in Alabama can’t legally consent to have sex, and the judge voiced outrage over the child pornography involving girls as young as 6.

There was no explanation why Hinton mentioned the pornography in his job interview, which prompted an investigation and his arrest.

This guy definitely didn’t have the best idea in admitting right off the bat that he did these things. And having sex with a 15 year-old when you’re 17 isn’t the worst thing in the world, though I suppose it’s technically illegal in some states. But then when you frame it with the fact that you have kiddy porn of girls as young as 6, of course it’s going to look even worse. He could have admitted to jaywalking before the child porn admission and it would have immediately looked 10 times worse. “Oh, bet he was jaywalking to go LURE A CHILD IN HIS SORDID WEB OF SEXUAL DEVIANCY.” Which may or may not be why the chicken crossed the road.

In the guy’s defense though, they really don’t touch upon how to handle your confessions of possessing child porn in the books about Tips for Successful Interviews. Seems like a bit of an oversight.
