A Michigan man facing charges for possessing child pornography defended himself by claiming he identifies as an eight-year-old girl and therefore should have his rights protected under the First Amendment.

 

Police found child pornography at the Grand Rapids home of Joseph Gobrick, 45, back in 2018 after he was arrested when a missing 17-year-old Ohio girl turned up at his house.

 

Gobrick’s collection reportedly contained over 50 pornographic images of everything from infants to 5-year-olds, and police were able to identify at least eight victims who were sexually assaulted.

 

Last week at a sentencing trial, Gobrick continued to defend his actions by mounting an unusual defense.

 

“I’ve always been an 8-year-old girl,” Gobrick told a judge. “And even my drawings and fantasies, I am always an 8-year-old girl.”

 

“Whenever we did this, there are adults having sex with me in an online forum as an eight-year-old,” he stated.

 

Gobrick also attempted to draw comparisons between how he was being treated and the oppression of Jews in the Auschwitz concentration camp.

 

“Under the law, Auschwitz was legal,’’ Gobrick said. “What you’re doing here is wrong, just as Auschwitz was.”
