More Than 100 Warrants Served Against 'Girls Gone Wild' Crew

I grew up in New Orleans - have only seen flashing during Mardi Gras, in the French Quarter. Not spring break. Moved to Virginia in 1988 - so if girls flash during spring break as a regular thing it's started since then.

On Mardi Gras day in the Quarter, anything goes. I once saw two men having sex on a balcony overlooking the gay costume contest on Bourbon St. I have photos of women showing their breasts and men wearing costumes that only cover their genitals - but only on Mardi Gras day and only in the French Quarter - basically on Bourbon St. and Royal St.

Which is it, 18 or 21? Or do we have a species of "half minor?" And, if so, how is that constitutional?

These videos include a lot more than just girls flashing their breasts at the camera...

see #23.

With all these charges, why aren't the perverts in jail? Raise the bail HIGH to they can't continue this disgusting trash.

Oh yeah, that's a good use of criminal justice resources. Why don't reporters ever ask cops "How many default warrants do you have in your backlog?" or "What's your PD's solution rate for burglaries?" when covering stupid uses of police resources like this one?

I have always found it quite ironic that an 18 year old is deemed to be mature enough to consent to military service but isn't deemed mature enough to drink alcohol.

I was in Nalwlins during new years eve a couple of years ago and it was 33 degrees out and girls were flashing their stuff.

I know, my true love gave me one for my birthday.

What business is it of yours if a photographer videotapes without compensation what people have always done at spring break and Mardi Gras?

Another stupid Libertarian comment, you little boys don't have a brain in your head.

Bars are "required" to verify age, these men should have asked for ID. Not because it is required, but rather the SMART thing to do!!

I see. You believe in jailing people who do things you don't like, whether thay are illegal or not. The Constitution be damned.

Glad to see this. Those wishing to make porn movies for huge profit should at least verify that the girls they are using are over 18, especially when they are going through the trouble of renting hotel rooms and taking these girls back to them to do the filming. These guys knew damn well these girls were younger than 18. 16-year-old girls look like kids to me now that I am in my 30s. They didn't when I was 16, but now that I'm in my 30s, the difference between 16 and 18 is big in a lot of cases and very noticable.

New Jersey lowered the drinking age to 18 back in the 70's. Between the inexperienced drunk drivers (licensed at 17) and the hormone inspired bar fights, it was a bloodbath. A few years later, they raised it again.

Talk about life imitating art. I think David Caruso, who plays Horatio Caine on Miami:CSI busted a similar film crew in one this past season's episodes!

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

I guess it's the same business as it is if a child is being abused...the girls are underage. I guess we should all just mind our own business? So I guess if my neighbor burns his 2 year old with cigarettes I should just mind my own business?

[Notwithstanding]

Prurient or sexual nudity or partial nudity in films, even when filmed on the streets, is pornography.

Minors are protected from consenting to pornography.

What part of this is unclear to you?

[goldstategop]

Porn is big business. There's lots of free stuff on the 'Net but there's premium content if you're willing to part with the bucks. Sex sells well in America.

[Notwithstanding]

It depends on the beahavior - alcohol is 21. Most things are 18, but it varies. And there is nothing unconstitutional about it.

[JmyBryan]

My bet is these charges don't hold up.

[Servant of the Nine]

Prurient or sexual nudity or partial nudity in films, even when filmed on the streets, is pornography.

No it is not.

What is in these videos is PG rated by movie standards. You have obviously never seen real pornography.

I will further contend that when a parent allows their under age child to go on spring break they have constructively consented to whatever they may do.
There may be a case of Child Neglect to make against the parrent, but there is no rational case against the photographers who documented their actions.
