Bright previously mocked right wing journalists who attempted to research potential pedophiles.

The conviction “carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison.”

National File previously reported on Bright as he stood trial:

The tech writer also described himself on social media as “Poly/pan/pervy.”

In his tweets, Bright is alleged to have “missed” his “Japanese boy” as well as salivated over “jailbait” on a train and a plane.

Other tweets interrogate the maturity of minors, along with bashing certain legal impediments to sexual gratification with teenagers.

He wrote, “I think age-based rape laws (rather than consent-based) are stupid.”

He continued, “What do they need protection from, and why?”

Bright had also come out against the international pedophilia conspiracy theory, Pizzagate.

The former Ars Technica wrote a short poem in a tweet, establishing his position on the matter:

Roses are red, Except when they’re teal; Some people think Pizzagate is real

Bright was arrested by the FBI after a back-and-forth with an FBI agent posing as a mother of a 7-year-old girl and 9-year-old boy on Kinkd. He allegedly sent the agent, posing as a depraved mother, a picture of his penis and records proving that he was STD-free.

Bright allegedly wished to molest both children as well as rape the young girl, according to The Daily Dot.

Oddly, the disgraced blogger attempted to float a defense saying he was “an age-playing vigilante trying to catch the FBI agent.” Unsurprisingly, the prosecution rejected the claim.

Further, the journo claimed he was an “age-player” and a “daddy” in addition to having an attraction for “full-bodied women with a lot of body hair,” but no attraction toward children, reported Inner City Press.

When he was arrested, he was allegedly found carrying condoms.
