So, under-aged "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" is the equivalent of intercourse in your mind? .... Polybius
Intercourse and oral and anal sex are still sex. Only now we say that not being able to consent still means that you CAN consent. ... weegee
Did I mistakenly log on to a Triple X-Rated chat room by mistake?
I thought we were on Free Republic discussing some teen-aged girls who took naked photos of themselves and were then being prosecuted for "child pornography" by the D.A.
Ya know, discussions about using common sense in prosecutions, overreach of Government power, Nifong-like D.A.'s, etc. The stuff the FR deals with.
Why are you now, out of the clear blue sky, dragging "oral and anal sex" into the discussion?
This thread is getting waaaay too weird.
Time to move on.
We don’t know the content of ‘these’ photos but we do know what sort of photos and videos are quite common among those of college age.
You say that two teens “looking” is all that teens do these days. They are having sex. Be honest. It isn’t just looking. It’s hooking up. Again, not these 5 kids (or however many in this case), but among teens today.
There is a law that establishes the age to consent to sex. Except it doesn’t mean that anymore, because of an attitude like yours “they are just gonna do it anyway”. Being under the age to consent still permits them to consent. To far more than just “show me”.
You deny such activity occurs. You think that the law should distinguish between one class of individual who can trade in this sort of imagery and one sort who cannot. The law does not draw such distinctions. When they are older (and still have the photos/videos in their possession) do they suddenly become “something else”?
