Double Standard: Another Child Predator Busted in Janesville, While Whistleblowers Still Face Felonies

The predator roundup in Rock County continues and no, we’re not talking about tough on crime politics or protecting the kids. We’re talking about the invisible game of quiet arrests and strategic silence that plays out when real danger is exposed… and then buried.
Meet Carter J. Powers, a 26-year-old Janesville resident arrested on June 9th, 2025 for allegedly possessing five counts of child pornography. His arrest followed an investigation that began in February, when local police were tipped off that a juvenile was receiving inappropriate messages from an adult. Powers was arrested at his home on Kennedy Road with the help of the Janesville Street Crimes Unit, Whitewater detectives, and even ESD K9 Maui
He’s now cooling off in Rock County Jail… pending his initial court appearance.
If that sentence feels too familiar it should. This is the second child pornography arrest in Rock County this month. Earlier, we covered the arrest of Joshua M. Rains, another Beloit man charged with 10 counts of the same crime.
Two predators. Two arrests.
And if Rock County’s judicial track record holds true—two plea bargains incoming.
Let’s remind the public how this game plays out….
Carter J. Powers: 5 counts child porn → Quiet arrest, no media frenzy
Joshua M. Rains: 10 counts child porn → Handled gently, like a dropped egg
Film a cop in a parking lot, say “fuck off” → Felony stalking, $10k bond, speech ban, media blitz
The state isn’t interested in consistent justice. It’s interested in managing perception. And predators don’t challenge authority—they hide in the shadows. That’s why the system protects them.
If you still think this is about “law and order,” wake up. You’re watching a machine that punishes dissenters while quietly coddling monsters. And it’s not a glitch it’s the design.

This predator had a four month grace period before they cuffed him. Meanwhile, activists can be thrown in jail in four minutes for recording a badge number.
You’re not crazy. They’re just lying.
And we’ll keep publishing what they won’t.
