This Makes No Senses but this will teach Some Girls to have some self respect LOL

[Budious]

I remember not too long ago a case where the individual was charged and found guilty of possession of child pornography. The evidence, several small resolution thumbnails that were preserved in his web browser cache, where has reasonable doubt gone? Did that get tossed out the window? Did Bush take it away when I wasn't looking?

[zeta_immersion]

The article mentions nudity but not sexually explicit conduct. Child pornography charges must show that the production of the photos involved a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct or that the visual depiction itself shows such conduct. (US Code, Title 18, Part I, Chapter 110, Section 2252.) If no sexually explicit conduct was involved, the child pornography charges won't stick. As far as I know, no laws exist to forbid the photographing of a nude minor in a nonsexual context. (Naturist families can legally take photos of their naturist children, for example.) They might be able to charge her with distributing the photographs to other minors, though.

I can understand if the people she sent the messages to were charged over Child pornography, but when the child itself took the pictures, I don't know, doesn't seem right? :s

15-Year-Old Girl Faces Child Porn Charges for Nude Cell Phone Pictures of Herself

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,434645,00.html

NEWARK, Ohio ? Central Ohio authorities have filed felony charges against a 15-year-old girl accused of taking nude cell phone photos of herself and sending them to high school classmates.

Police say the Newark Licking Valley student was arrested Friday and held over the weekend. On Monday, she entered denials to juvenile charges of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material and possession of criminal tools.

A spokeswoman for the Ohio attorney general's office says an adult convicted of the child pornography charge would have to register as a sexual offender, but a judge would have flexibility on the matter with a convicted juvenile.

A prosecutor says Licking County authorities also considering charges for students who received the photos.

This same exact thing happened at my Daughter's High School. The girl that did it was the same age, she was not charged with anything. The humiliation she received was enough.

[Ayepecks]

That's messed up.

[roadgeek9]

Whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty?"

[Budious]

This same exact thing happened at my Daughter's High School. The girl that did it was the same age, she was not charged with anything. The humiliation she received was enough.

I think that's part of the larger issue, these girls are not feeling humiliated by these pictures in most instances, and they leak quite frequently to Internet image boards from the original recipients. It's growing acceptable among the youth culture and becoming more frequent.

That is exactly what this girl did, posted it on the Net. The one I know.

What the hell the states laws have something to do in this?

This should even stay within the family and her, well, probably the school as well.

There is nothing "criminal" in this, it's an underage that take pics of her and send them to other underage kids FFS.

According to this, any underage kids that have sex with other underage kids should be held responsible for underage sex...

[DanielZ]

What the hell? These feds are taking it WAY too far. If she wants to be a total slut and take nude pictures of herself, the let her. Although she should have kept it to herself and waited until she was 18.

I would have thought a talking to about self respect from a responsible adult, while ensuring the photos were deleted by anyone else - would be more than enough.

This is quite ridiculous. I thought those laws were meant to protect children from abuse, how about they go and look for someone who really should be prosecuted for child pornography, or would that be too much like hard work? You know, actually protecting abused and suffering children rather than ruining the life of someone's whose main crime was stupidity..

Absolutely. This is absurd!

wha?

you can't even choose to receive or block MMS. If she sent them, how are the students responsible for receiving them? damn it, it is not even April yet.

[mollick2]

This happened at my high school last year. I believe it happened 2 years prior to that too.

Administration normally doesn't catch it though. Last year a dumb freshman took nudes of herself then distributed them herself and blamed someone else for doing it. Obviously she doesn't pay the phone bill, or she would have relized that sending images are one of the things that show up on the bill. She didn't get charged with anything though.

No one has any self respect anymore.

[Azusa]

lol the myspace mentality strikes again.

Damn it why can't the internet/cellphones be harder to use?

[Hum]

Tons of self-made 'child' poRn out there on the internet.

[zeroday]

Child porn? No. Maybe being charged for being so stupid would be suitable for her. And why should the other kids be charged? If she sent it out without asking, that's her problem, not anyone elses.

Newark Catholic is horrible

at least in the UK, that is true though.

If you are underage, and have sex with an underage girl, you can get prosecuted for it.

[pelpel]

If you are underage, and have sex with an underage girl, you can get prosecuted for it.

So who gets charged if it's same age, same sex?

[Crompee]

So who gets charged if it's same age, same sex?

Both.

I think in the UK its:

If a underage Male has sexual relations with an underage Female.. the Underage Male (Note: Regardless of age difference, the Male is still charged if they are both underage.)

If a underage Male has sexual relations with an underage Male.. The oldest Male is charged.

If a underage Female has sexual relations with an underage Female.. Who knows, dont think there has been a case yet.
