Intro

[edit]

Should we leave the word p word in the intro here (keeps getting flagged here)? For others convicted of crimes involving children, Wikipedia hasn’t left this in the intro of their articles. 2600:387:15:3910:0:0:0:2 (talk) 18:04, 3 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Conviction vs. charges

[edit]

According to this press release from the U.S. Department of Justice, the convictions leading to the 135 year imprisonment of the subject are detailed as: RICO(18 U.S.C. §1962(c)),RICO conspiracy(18 U.S.C. §1962(d)), conspiracy(18 U.S.C. §371), three counts of transporting minors in interstate commerce for the purpose of criminal sexual activity (18 U.S.C. §2423(a)), one count of travel in interstate commerce with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity with minors (18 U.S.C. §2423(b)), and three counts of structuring cash transactions (31 U.S.C. §324(a)(3)).

However, the article currently lists him as having been convicted of "child molestation". Am I missing something? The article currently states: Early in 2004, York was convicted in federal court by a jury of multiple RICO, child molestation, and financial reporting charges. He was sentenced to 135 years in prison.

Should the charges not be listed specifically, or at least properly categorized under "child sexual abuse" (CSA)? --> https://www.taylorring.com/blog/child-molestation-vs-sexual-abuse-whats-the-difference/ It would appear that the original charges may have fallen into that category, but in the end, the crimes that he was sentenced under would be more accurately categorized under the umbrella term of CSA.

I wouldn't object to saying the specific crimes if we can find a good source for it but most sources do say that he was convicted of child molestation or related charges, and do not use that verbiage to describe it , so our article should reflect that.

Is this not a good enough source [2]? https://www.justice.gov/archive/criminal/ceos/pressreleases/downloads/MDGA%20York%20convict%20PR_012304.pdf Realnaga (talk) 15:50, 14 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
