Teen arrested on child porn charges after posting photos of his ex

[plifter]

Another issue is why does everyone automatically consider pictures of a naked teenager to be pornography? By definition of pornography:

pornography

noun
creative activity (writing or pictures or films etc.) of no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire

Nudity does not automatically make a picture pornographic. You could also have a picture that contains no nudity but is still pornographic. Who determines whether something has no artistic value? I guess a jury made of people who are likely to be idiots (based on my estimation that 95% of the world's population are idiots).

Uh, but SHE took the damn pictures! And SHE sent them to him!

I know. The only things that matters under the law is the age of the subject. The one thing I learned in law school is that the law isn't about justice, it's about the law.

Trying to teach the douchebag kid a lesson. No judge will sentence him the same way they would sentence an adult. He'll get community control for 3-4 years just to check his attitude toward law and order.

If the law has minimum sentencing requirements the kid could face jail time. There was a 17 year old up in MA that got 8 years for having sex with his 16 year old girlfriend and that black kid down in GA almost got thrown in the brig for a long time for that BJ he got from the 15 year old.

There are some crazy laws on the books in this nation and sometimes judges have their hands tied.

Which is why judges hate those laws and I agree. Mandatory minimums is law and order pandering. If they do have a mandatory minimum I assume the prosecutor will offer a lesser charge as a plea and still prove their point.

wait, let me get this straight - everyone here is ok with minors having sex legally, but not taking pictures legally?

LOL

ROFL

ROFLMAO

hahahahahahahahaahaa man some people are fucked

 

[stilleto]

what I don't understand is- if she's a minor, so is he?
the law doesn't differentiate between her being 16 or 6, so why aren't they treating him like he's 7?

IMHO
this thread is worthless without said pictures

 

[velvett]

you mean she was the photographed person?

And yes....I agree

Well, she was the photographer but she was also the one photographed.

Someone please tell me how a picture of her naked is considered pornographic!
