Aside from having a horrible MySpace-esque photo that makes you want to punch him in the face, Ryan Chinnery is responsible for a number of sexual assaults in Kent, UK over the course of summer 2007. Chinnery was allegedly an avid fan of GTA and pornography, and there's some finger pointing at Grand Theft Auto now that he's been incarcerated.

As stated in the article, I hope he makes lots of new "friends" where he's going.

19-year-old Ryan Chinnery of Ashford in Kent has been sentenced to eight years in prison for a series of sexual assaults throughout the summer of 2007.

As expected, various UK tabloids have been blaming video games for Chinnery's crimes, following his admission of obsession with Grand Theft Auto. In addition to an unhealthy love for pornography, Chinnery apparently spent hours in that game, though it was not specified which title he was fixated on.

    Oh yeah cause Grand Theft Auto is a rape simulator, atleast other people pointing fingers were actually getting close... Murder simulator, crime simulator yes perhaps it is in the feeble mind of a psychopath but it's not a rap simulator there is no rape in any Grand Theft Auto, this kid was just *bleep*ed up i guess all rapists are Grand Theft Auto players then?

        Well, from what I hear, where he's going looking like a bitch and the act of rape go hand in hand... though, probably not in the way he would like

        I hope he hangs himself, sincerely.

    Prehaps he picked up GTAIV to fuel his mindset and addiction? Doesnt count for the thousands/millions of us who play GTA just for pure fun.

    Seriously, they need to look beyond gaming. Its parenting, communities, social skills. Blame game on gaming is tiresome and its getting annoying!

          No shit ; ; i was just trying to make it sound proper. Considering they KNOW about his porn addiction i was guessing they found magazines in his bedroom or somethin =/
          That or they just scowered his harddrive and internet history.

          Oh posh, Gutter_Tech, there's nothing wrong with porn. Moderation is important though, which can be said for everything. Sure some of it is pretty "wtf", but I prefer to think most people who watch porn are just normal human beings with very human needs.

          It's people like this piece of scum that make critics point fingers going, "__________ is a bad influence on society!"

    Im going to apologize in advance and say I mean no disrespect, but am I the only one who think that kid looks kinda like Imperial Cereal? Something about him that reminds me of IC.

    Anyway, common sense doesn't apply to him does it?
    Anyway BlackLabel stated what I would have.

    With a face like that, it's no surprise that any sex with him wouldn't be consensual.

    At least Jack Thompson isn't around to say anything.

    He should be castrated. Period. All rapist should. Had that been my sister, or mother, or cousin, I would ready the chopping block myself.

    Disgusting and appauling story.

    *bleep*ing chavs. They don't know jack shit, thus ending up with them calling on GTAIV for excuses. Does it show anywhere in the game rape? Some suggestive scenes at its worst, but rape? Sheesh.
