SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 13 – ArsTechnica
writer Peter Bright took the
witness stand on February 13
and called himself an "age
player" and a Daddy. He said
he prefers full bodied women
with a lot of body hair - but
denied that he actually likes
children.
Inner City Press,
which first reported Bright's
presentment on the charges on
May 23, here,
started a Twitter thread about
Peter Bright's matter of the
fact statements about himself,
here.

The US
Attorney's Office spokesman
was in the courtroom, as well
as other Federal Defenders
beyond Amy Gallicchio, who
conducted the direct
examination complete with
Bright's messages with the FBI
agent, who Bright called
Princess and then Liz.
Judge P.
Kevin Castel of the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
let the jury go to lunch from
12:30 to 1:30 pm, then told
the lawyers to return to
discuss the jury charged at
1:15 pm. Inner City Press
reported, It's coming to
endgame, and it has.
Assistant
US Attorney Alexander Li in
his closing statement
emphasized to the jury the
Peter Bright went to Duane
Park with condoms to meet what
he thought would be children.
Li said Bright is not an
age-playing vigilante trying
to catch the FBI agent but
rather a man attempted to have
sex with children, with a
lesson plan to teach about his
foreskin.
Many
Federal Defenders were in the
gallery for the closing
arguments. Amy Gallicchio had
argued, in writing, that "Mr.
Bright actively engages in
role-playing involving
bondage, discipline, dominance
and submission, sadomasochism,
commonly referred to as BDSM.
He is particularly interested
in ageplay." But what
will the jury think of it?
