i keep seeing these cases. altho i do not condone these teeny boppers taking nude pics of them selves, i don’t see why they’re charged with child porn for having pics of themselves.
I agree. This is an issue for the parents, not the Govt.
“i don’t see why they’re charged with child porn for having pics of themselves.”
Look up the federal definition of child porn, it does not say anyone is exempt from “production of” the material.
You produce it, or posess it, it’s illegal.
The justice in this case will be in the sentencing, or even in what exact charges are brought up when the trial starts.
There have been cases of underage girls running porn pay sites, pay webcams in particular. With today’s technology it’s something a kid can do in her bedroom without parents knowing.
The problem is they’re distributing them. That they are exploiting themselves is irrelevent from a legal point of view. In any case, I’m sure the proud Murtha district democrats will attack the prosecuters for butting into family affairs.
It does seem pretty weird. But then, the world gets weirder every day.
