Prosecutors had tried to prevent the copying on grounds the videotape showing a girl "flashing" her breasts was illegal child pornography. Florida's child pornography law makes the depiction of "sexual conduct" illegal and defines that term to include physical contact. There was no physical contact in the video. This is a bad ruling. Would "Girls Gone Wild" be considered porn if there were only adults in it? Probably not. But underaged girls changes the whole equation, and federal law is pretty clear on that.

Perhaps they need to be prosecuted under federal law in addition to these Florida law cases they face.
Even a clothed minor can be shot in a "lacivious" manner according to some rulings.
