...FBI agents later interviewed Marrero's ex-girlfriend, who confirmed that she was 17 at the time the pictures were taken. A conviction will force Marrero to register as a sex offender and could land him in prison for up to 30 years. According to the U.S. Department of Justice's guide to federal child pornography law, "a first time offender convicted of producing child pornography...face fines and a statutory minimum of 15 years to 30 years maximum in prison." Under Ohio law, which also sets the cutoff for child pornography at 18, Marrero would have faced between six months and eight years. ...

He testified that his room mate had that pic of a 17 year old because it was his. It wasn’t trafficked or anything. I guess that harmed the case, so they arrested him. They arrested him out of spite.
Just saying, while many will disagree, there are many people who are biologically equipped by mother nature herself to be sexually active at 14 or 15 or 16 or 17. When King tut was alive the average lifespan was 14. In the year 1900, the average AMERICAN lifespan was 47. I know some of you out there say you were not interested in the opposite sex until you were 18, the reality is that you are VERY uncommon. And if you are literary, just read a few Jane Austin books. Clearly all her characters would be registering as sex offenders. Except for the older sister who always is a spinster at age 21 in every book. Brook Sheiled was quite nude at 12.
The reality is that sex is a bad idea. You can catch things. You are too young to have a relationship in your teens. The longer you can put it off the better. Your mom was right about that. But spending the next 60 years registering as a sex offender is not right either. They should just be grounded for a week. However if the guy was selling the picks as porn. You can let him rot in a cell.
Dudes roommate was sex offender for having sex with someone less than 13 years old.
Only Biden gets away with it.
“Our FBI is wasting time and resources on this stupidity when real threats exist?! Every agent involved should be fired!”
LOL. Fun to see people get outraged when if the knew the facts they would be embarrassed by their posts.
Never admit you have child pork when testifying at your sex-offender roommate’s child pork trial.
The law is an ass. I subscribe to Shakespeare’s method of dealing with lawyers.
I just learned last Month while serving on Jury Duty that in Texas you are Charged as an Adult at the age of 17 ...
BUT Females cannot Consent until 18. (?)
She’s 17? Three years difference in age? Sounds like a bit of a stretch.
He wasn’t part of the Clinton clique - so the full force of the law applies. Sorry.
*Ding!* *Ding!* *Ding!*
We have a winner!
And why did he give that picture to his roommate who had been convicted of sex with a female less than 13 years old?
Dude should be taken away.
So in Ohio a girl 16 can engage in consensual sex but a letting boy friend take a picture of you dressed is good for 30 years in prison?
” It wasn’t trafficked or anything. “
How do you know that? Besides, giving it to his pedophile roommate was trafficking.
Seventeen years olds are still quite immature especially in regards to brain development.
IDK.. Maybe it’s different because I have boys and they are more immature in their teens.
“What ever happened to federalism? Why is the federal government involved in this?”
Trafficking child pork over state lines is a federal crime.
What you said.
So explain the facts. They certainly are not in the article. Enlighten us.
For stupid post of the year award?
