GamePolitics retells the sad, disturbing tale from GotFrag concerning 52-year-old George Finley's recruitment policies for the Green Berets, a competitive Counter-Strike clan. Finley was arrested in London, Ontario on the heels of accusations that he "solicited obscene pictures of young boys" he recruited for the Counter-Strike clan. Allegations against Finley have him using Ventrilo voice chat to solicit the pictures. Supposedly, Finley promised the boys PC hardware if they complied.

Aside from simply being a sad story for the boys and their families involved in this mess, it's also a sad situation for gaming. Stories like this one are the type that people will latch onto in their campaigns against video games and online games. Isolated incidents become the biggest black eyes on the gaming industry's face.
