A Southfield man is facing charges after posting numerous lewd remarks about child pornography on his Facebook account, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court today.

The FBI is seeking an arrest warrant for Thaddeus McMichael on child pornography charges. According to an FBI agent’s affidavit, he posted comments on Facebook, in some cases mocking disabled children who get molested.

The FBI in Detroit received a tip last June about a Facebook user who was “actively discussing child pornography and methods for downloading pornography from the Internet," according to the affidavit. Comments posted by the user included statements on how to obtain child porn on the Internet, how to encrypt the images on a computer, and statements such as “all cp isn’t rape, Sometimes the kids want it. Most of the time they NEED it,” records show.

In another Facebook post, records show, he wrote: “What if I adopt a little girl? I’m sure she wouldn’t mind becoming my sex slave if I take her away from the orphanage.”

McMichael said the posts were a joke, records show.

The FBI was led to McMichael with the help of Facebook Inc., after the company was issued two subpoenas for subscriber information, records show.

During a search of his Southfield home Feb. 17, federal agents interviewed McMichael and asked him to explain his Facebook account, records show. McMichael confirmed the profile belonged to him, but said many of the posts were a joke.

He is charged with receipt and possession of child pornography.

A Southfield man is facing child pornography charges after the FBI discovered lewd comments about kids and sex on his Facebook page and discussions on how to download child porn from the Internet.

But, it's not just the Facebook postings that got Thaddeus McMichael, 21, into trouble, court records show.

The FBI also found between 300 and 350 images and videos of child pornography in McMichael’s electronic media sources, which were seized during a search of his home, records show.

McMichael, who was arrested on Wednesday, is free on bond, with conditions that he wear a tether and not use the Internet while charges are pending.

His court-appointed attorney could not be reached for comment.

The FBI tracked McMichael down after receiving a tip in June about a Facebook user who was “actively discussing child pornography” on the site, according to an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court.

The FBI had discovered several raunchy and explicit comments about child porn on McMichael’s Facebook page, including statements that mocked disabled children who get molested, the affidavit showed.

The postings were disclosed in the affidavit, including one that read: “all cp isn’t rape, Sometimes the kids want it. Most of the time they NEED it.” In another Facebook post, records show, the user wrote: “What if I adopt a little girl? I’m sure she wouldn’t mind becoming my sex slave if I take her away from the orphanage.”

Facebook records led the FBI to McMichael, who was confronted about the postings during an interview, records show.

McMichael told the FBI the posts were just a joke, records show.

Did they actually find CP in his possession or were they just charging him based on his tasteless remarks on his facebook?

The FBI also found between 300 and 350 images and videos of child pornography in McMichael’s electronic media sources, which were seized during a search of his home, records show.

Even outside the context of having child pornography, this is pretty embarrassing. Have fun in the prison anime club.

“What if I adopt a little girl? I’m sure she wouldn’t mind becoming my sex slave if I take her away from the orphanage.”

I'm not sure how many times I just read the phrase "records show".
