No it is not.

Don’t show naked pictures of your underage girlfriend to a child pornographer, and don’t talk about doing that at the child pornographer’s trial.

I know that this all seems very unfair to people who like child pornography, but too damned bad.

I suspect that Marrero has been viewing his roommate’s collection.

A 17 year old isn't a child.

Who has the resources to prosecute against the spirit of the law?

A seventeen year old isn’t mature enough to evaluate the potential lifetime consequences of having naked pictures of themselves while they were young distributed.

Hence the law.

A seventeen year old is not a child, but they are a minor.

Sounds to me like the real story here is that he was a witness for the defense of someone else that the FBI was prosecuting and this is their opportunity to retaliate against him.

That darn Mueller is everywhere

“And what would you say if your daughters naked photo was given to a convicted pedophile and possibly distributed all over the world?”

I’m doing my best to raise my daughters in such a way that they make better choices than to let someone take a compromising picture of them that will follow them all the rest of their lives.

I agree. Witness intimidation seems to be a thing with the FBI.

Stories like this make me thankful that:

1) There weren’t laws like this back in the 80’s.

2) I didn’t start dating until I was 19.

3) All of my dates were my age or slightly older.

Complete subversion of the DoJ and they’re wasting time on this.

I need to move to a mountain and be a hermit. I always thought people like that were weird, but they don’t seem as weird anymore.

You to have ALL of the information to make a decision, but this sounds like one of those cases where if I was on the jury I would be keeping the nullification option open.

This is what the insane sex laws have brought about.

I have seen several cases very similar to this.

Many states modified there sex laws to prevent this from happening if the ages between the people were less than three years difference.

I would hope that if you were on the jury you wouldn’t base your decision on reason.com click-bait ...

Makes no sense at all.

Jail the prosecutors and judges first!
