that is all kinds of fuqed up

Awful! My wife knew him well, and coul'nt understand why he would do this.

this is terrible. the internet can be an aweful place sometimes

Good Lord! That is awful. The internet can be used in so many insidious ways. Hope the guy goes to prison for a long time.

The comments have it right. Sounds like a murder case...

Unbelievable

Wow...that is just awful. There are some sick people out there.

Horrible in every aspect. I hope the girl will be given adequate help. I can't imagine what it must have been like for her.

T&P

Not cool, sick f-er

Sorry, DP

Maybe I didn't understand the article, but did Aune know she was under age, or did they do a bait and switch type deal on him? If it was bait and switch he'd probably having nothing to worry about...hell, people have online affairs all the time and I'm not sure he could be held criminally liable if he thought she was over age. If he knew she was underage, he was playinh with fire and was a criminal himself.

I think there are some serious ethical issues here involving the Chronicle. Why was it necessary to publish this article with the name and personal details of the deceased included? Now the deceased's reputation has been publicaly trashed, and this will seriously compound the devastation his family has been experiencing -- a double whammy. Just imagine how his family has been attempting to cope with this tragedy, and now the lascivious details have been trumpeted to the public. All in the name of trashing the good things that the deceased accomplished during his life. Just like Shakespeare wrote: "The evil that men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones" ... thanks to the news media.

I'm usually against the media, but I don't see the issue here. His family would find out the details anyway from the authorities who were investigating his suicide.

And as far as the deceased goes... he was engaging in child pornography. In this case, a little girl who had been taken advantage of by her relative. If sick people didn't exist who crave that stuff, then that relative never would have had the idea to extort this young girl.

It's sad all around, no doubt. But this guy deserves his name to be tarnished. I'm not saying his sins are any worse than many others in this world, but we are all held accountable for our sins in the end!

Wow, this story is sure to shatter a lot of stereotypes about Louisiana.

This story makes me pretty angry. The scumbag in question needs to be sent to a max-security state prison to do his time. I don't think transvestites have any trouble fitting in there.

That guy needs to be locked up for murder.

Very sad, my thoughts go out to his family.

The suicide rate is really high right now.

I'm not so sure about this blanket statement.

According to the police I've spoken with, this statement is unfortunately true.

T&Ps for the family.

Wow. That took a turn for the unexpected. Terrible story, but I wonder if he knew she was under age before the blackmail began.

T&P for all involved in this crazy situation.

Is she actually underage? Or was that part of the scam? It seems he would be facing child porn charges if she was

The article suggested that there were nude photos taken of the female relative. It would appear that he knew.

wow....thats horrific

Not to detract from the sadness of this story, but if the girl appeared to be 18 he wouldn't have been breaking the law. As soon as the "angry dad" started to make contact, I'm sure the revelation of her true age was part of the blackmail.

Pure speculation though.

Edit: accidentally a word.

WAIT A SECOND. THIS ARTICLE IS FROM JANUARY. IT IS NOW THE END OF MARCH. WHY IS THIS JUST NOW BEING POSTED? HE WAS THE DIRECTOR OF THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPT, WHICH MAKES IT IRONIC THAT THIS IS BEING COMMUNICATED 3 MONTHS LATE.

Go look at the date on pg 1 before continuing your ignorant rant.

Wow...the text one minute before he killed himself is chilling.

Continued T&P for his family.

Yeah the article says she was underage.

Crazy story.

More trash from the east side. I think it's time to clean house and give that wasteland back to the French.

Wow, what an incredibly sad story. Wow. Wow.

if he killed himself over it he knew she was underaged. just sayin what nobody else will say.

He obviously knew she was underage. But did he know before he was blackmailed? I think yes, but I can see a version of this story where he didn't.

Edit for spelling.
