It certainly isn't worth 20 years in prison. But after watching the CNN video and reading more about it and how he purposely and very carefully planned this and the fact that he manipulated the children's faces with the original performance to get the reactions he desired for the video...I could see putting him on sexual offender status for a couple of years just to teach him a lesson. What he did was down right creepy. And if he is sorry, it is for all the wrong reasons.
-------
Prior to his arrest, Emory said he owed the school “a huge apology for being deceptive and taking advantage of the fact they trusted me.”, according to WoodTV8.
However, when later asked if he regretted his decision he seemed a bit more cavalier: “I guess we’ll see how many views it gets on the Internet,” he said.
--------
Really?
Here are some of the lyrics. I am warning you that they are expicit and if you have seen the video with the children's faces blurred you can imagine what is going on pretty well when you read the descriptions of the children interspersed with the lyrics.
Warning, these are graphic. Don't read them if you are easily offended. Just take my word for it and skip them, please.

Excerpts from Evan Emory video, including lyrics and description of children:
“See how long it takes to make your panties mine”
(wide shot of the children)
“I'll add some foreplay in just to make it fun”
(close up of girl laughing)
“I want you to suck on my testes until I spurt in your face”
(close up of girl covering her mouth)
“I'll lick on your chewie”
(close up of two girls covering their mouths)
“I want to stick my index finger in your anus”
(close up of boy making a shocked face)
“I'll be the bus riding your ass up and down my town”
(close up of boy with grossed-out look on his face)
“I'm gonna use my sausage to make fettucine, then for dessert have a Harry Houdini”
(close up of girl laughing and rocking)
---------
Put yourself in those children's parent's place before you judge them harshly. This is their baby on the internet for the whole world to see. You didn't give permission and the person who put your child's face on the internet did so willfully and by flat out lying to get the footage. Looking at it from that point of view I do see the problem. What he did was criminal.

For using the childrens' faces without permission he could be sued for monetary damages.
