Portland, OR - Mark and Katherine Hoffman are a couple who inspire fleeting thoughts of excruciating revenge in those of us who advocate for sexually abused children.   Mark Hoffman is currently awaiting trial on over 70 (yes, SEVENTY) state and federal sex-related charges in connection with child pornography and the rape of his own children, one as young as a year old.    His wife, Katherine Hoffman, has now been arrested because she knew what her man was doing – and helped. 

You know how sometimes you get a wild, unbidden urge to discipline an abusive parent with a power drill?  Well, charge up your virtual Makitas, denizens, and make sure you have the “Pedo-popper” attachment set.   This case is so nasty I had to walk away yesterday and come back to it this morning.  Not even kidding.

Mark Hoffman got busted earlier this year when an FBI child pornography task force noticed that his IP kept showing up on their radar.  After an investigation, Hoffman was indicted in federal court on sexual exploitation of children and possession of child pornography charges.

As a result of all the kiddie porn found in his house and on his computers, Hoffman is facing district court charges in Portland.  He’s accused of trafficking in sexually explicit photos of his young children from January 2006 through Feb. 11, 2008.  That’s right, his own young children.  Two of those children, now ages four and five, are now in foster care – I’m not sure where the third child is.

Oh, but denizens, there’s more.   In Oregon state court,  Hoffman will stand trial on 70 charges from as far back as 2004.  The evidence in that case includes video of Hoffman sexually abusing his children.  One allegation is that he raped his own baby girl when she was just one year old.   One.  Year.  Old.

Wanna be even more disgusted?  His wife knew about it.   Court documents allege that Katherine Hoffman, 33, was aware of the abuse and child pornograpy as far back as 2005.  But did KatherineKatherine reviews go after with her man with a gun?  Did she divorce him, take her children, and run far far away?

Of course not.  If she had, her sorry-ass picture wouldn’t be up on our front page, would it?  No, Katherine decided to stay with the pedo she loved and LET HIM CONTINUE.  I know, right? She didn’t get medical care for the children after their father raped them.  She didn’t lock their bedroom doors at night and sleep in the hall.  She didn’t even turn the bastard in.  Instead, she left him alone with the children like nothing was wrong – and then tried to hide or destroy his computers and other evidence.  Yeah, that’s a woman who deserves a little of what she dished out.

Mark Hoffman will face trial on three counts of first-degree rape, three counts of first-degree sodomy, three counts of unlawful sexual penetration, 23 counts of first-degree sex abuse, 23 counts of using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct and 15 counts of encouraging child sex abuse. He has pleaded not guilty to those charges, and I’m wondering how that’s gonna fly considering most of the evidence is on video.

For her part, Katherine Hoffman was indicted last week and arraigned on FridayFriday reviews in Multnomah Circuit Court.  She has pleaded not guilty to charges of tampering with evidence, four counts of first-degree criminal mistreatment and second-degree encouraging child sex abuse, and hindering prosecution.

Tell me it’s not just me.  I can tolerate a lot of stuff.  It’s horrible enough that this father raped his babies and then distributed the video online.  But their mother?  Their own mother, who knew this was happening and didn’t even take the babies to the ER to get stitches?  Because you know they needed them when that rat bastard got finished.  Adult penis does not fit in toddler orifices without something giving way most of the time.

I don’t know what the sentencing guidelines are for the Hoffman’s crimes in Oregon.  I hope that life in prison without parole is a real possibility, because people like this should never get out.  Never.

So Jaded is disgusted in our forums, too.
