MrDouble convicted
A man from Texas has been convicted of operating a website dedicated to publishing stories detailing the sexual abuse of children.
Brewster County resident Thomas Alan Arthur was convicted by a federal jury on January 21 following a trial that lasted three days.
According to trial evidence, the 64-year-old started operating a website called Mr. Double in 1996. The website was devoted to publishing writings that described the sexual abuse of children, including the rape, torture, and murder of infants and toddlers.
The website, which Arthur administered from his home, proved popular, and in 1998 he began charging a membership fee.
According to NewsWest9, Arthur stated in an interview with the FBI that his site had over 800 subscribers who paid up to $90 a year to access content.
Arthur invited members to submit material for publication on the site in return for a discounted membership fee. All of the submitted material was reviewed and approved by Arthur personally prior to being uploaded to the website.
The evidence at trial showed that along with text, some of the author pages on the website contained drawings depicting children engaged in sexually explicit behavior.
Arthur made enough income from the Mr. Double website for it to be his sole source of income for more than 20 years.
The site remained online until November 2019, when the FBI executed a search warrant at Arthur's residence near Terlingua. Additional evidence about Arthur's illegal activities was obtained from a server in the Netherlands where the Mr. Double site was hosted.
The FBI said that the site contained several disclaimers stating that none of the stories were based on real events. However, among the site's subscribers were a significant number of people with prior convictions for child sexual abuse and possession of child sexual abuse material.
Arthur was found guilty of three counts of trafficking in obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of a child, five counts of trafficking in obscene text stories about the sexual abuse of children, and one count of engaging in the business of selling obscene matters involving the sexual abuse of children.
Sentencing is scheduled for April 19, 2021.

Mr. Double’s Operator Jailed

A 65-year-old man from Texas has been sentenced to prison for operating a website devoted to stories in which violence occurs against minors.
In January, a federal jury convicted 65-year-old Brewster County resident Thomas Alan Arthur of three counts of trafficking in obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of a child, five counts of trafficking in obscene text stories about the sexual abuse of children, and one count of engaging in the business of selling obscene matters involving the sexual abuse of children.
The charges were all related to the website Mr. Double, which Arthur launched from his home address in 1996. On it he published writings that described the sexual abuse, rape, torture, and murder of infants and children.
In 1998, Arthur began charging a membership fee to access the site, which was hosted on a server in the Netherlands. He made enough money from Mr. Double for the site to be his sole source of income for more than two decades.
Users were invited to upload their own content, which included drawings depicting children engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The evidence at trial showed that all submissions for publication were personally reviewed and approved by Arthur before being added to the site.
The site remained online until November 2019, when the FBI executed a search warrant of Arthur's residence.
Court documents and statements made at the sentencing showed that Arthur sexually assaulted two females who came forward during the investigation of this case.
The court heard that in approximately 1992, Arthur drugged an adult woman who resided with him, sexually assaulted her and captured the assault on video. In another instance, in the early 1980s, Arthur molested the daughter of a friend and business associate when she was four or five years old.
On June 22, Arthur was sentenced in the Western District of Texas to 40 years in prison. He was further sentenced to three years of supervised release and fined $50,000.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.

Texas man who ran child sex abuse website for 20 years sentenced to 40
years in prison
by Gerald TracyTuesday, June 22nd 2021
SAN ANTONIO – A Texas man who ran a website with stories of child sex
abuse for more than 20 years has been sentenced to prison.
Thomas Alan Arthur, 65, was convicted in January for running the Mr.
Double website, starting in 1996.
Court records say the website would publish stories Arthur approved
detailing child sex abuse, including rape, torture and murder of infants
and toddlers. Evidence showed Arthur reviewed and approved the content,
which at times included drawings.
Arthur was shown to have turned the website into an income in 1998,
charging customers for admission. The FBI took the website offline in
Nov. 2019 during a search warrant at his Terlingua, Texas home.
Court records say two women also came forward during investigation,
saying Arthur sexually assaulted them.
The first woman said he drugged an adult woman who lived with him,
sexually assaulted her and recorded it on video back in 1992.
Another woman said she was molested when she was four or five in the
1980’s, she was the daughter of a friend.
Arthur will spend the next 40 years in prison for charges related to the
website and will spend three years after in supervised release, along
with a $50,000 fine.
