Former teacher who mocked conservatives online over grooming accusations has been sentenced to 17 years prison for child porn

A man who worked as a teacher in Hawaii was sentenced to 17 years in prison for producing child pornography after he mocked and railed against conservatives online accusing the left of harboring pedophiles.

35-year-old Alden Bunag was convicted of distributing videos of himself having sex with a former student who was 13 years old at the time. In addition to the prison time, Bunag must pay $30,000 in restitution and serve 15 years of supervised release.

Prior to the arrest, Bunag spewed hatred against conservatives and specifically accused them of secretly being pedophiles while tossing accusations against their political opponents.

"You're f***ing acting like we want to show kids porn or something, but something I've learned through the years is that whenever right-wingers accuse others of something, it's DEFINITELY because they're projecting," he wrote in a tweet.

In another missive, he proclaimed that he was helping destroy Western civilization by "trying to tear down gender roles and subtly instill socialist values into my high schoolers and elementary kids."

He also defended the use of books extolling the LGBTQ agenda in public schools against critics who said they were inappropriately sexual.

That account has since been suspended.

Federal prosecutors said that Bunag sent more than 3,300 messages to a teacher in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, many of which contained photographs and videos of child pornography. That teacher was arrested in October.

He worked as a summer school teacher at Pearl City High School and also at other schools in Hawaii. He identified himself as a socialist on social media.

“Bunag’s sentence reflects the horrendous nature of the crimes he committed, including against a child for whom the classroom became a place of torture rather than learning and nurturing,” read a statement from U.S. attorney Clare E. Connors.

Bunag is also facing charges for sex with a minor, and a plea deal is expected in that case as well.
