Tovar, ..., could now face up to 10 years in prison. Tovar is automatically required to register as a sexual offender for the rest of his life.Good.

Expect today's Supreme Court ruling to overturn this.

I'm waiting for the people to show up and tell me that the 16 year old didn't know what she was doing. I'm waiting...
To: Apollo
He should have done this in the privacy of his bedroom. According to our Supreme Court this should be allowed, how dare States try to regulate this kind of behavior (she would be of age in several states), so nothing venture nothing gained. This ruling today is madness.

10 years... for stupidity.

(she would be of age in several states)He. Which makes it even more likely that the SC would deem it protected behaivor.

This ruling today is madness. "It would be interesting to see this case advanced to the Supremes and see if they apply the same cursed logic.

Defense attorneys pointed out that the teen never touched himself in any of the photos and differed remarkably on the prosecutors definition of lewd.
She was a HE.
To: SauronOfMordor
Whoops. I knew that. I don't know why I said she. Having a redheaded moment, I guess. :)

"Tovar was led away in handcuffs as some of his family members wept"
Good.
Sorry, dude. Busted! And that is as it should be.
To: Cathryn Crawford; Apollo
You all may need to read the story again. Both of you refer to the teen as a "she", when the story identifies the teen as a male.
"the teen ... himself"

She is a he! What I said really applies than, heck he could have even bugger him after he was done with the pics (he does have a right to privacy).
To: Apollo
This is not New York City. This is Texas. It looks like porn to me,Looks like Texas juries went 2 for 2 today.

I can understand how some 16-year-old girl might be conned into thinking she's some kind of glamorous model...
but a 16-year-old guy????
Sheeeeeesh.
To: chance33_98
The article uses the phrase "nude teen" again and again, and just works in that one reference to gender. Almost any normal reader would assume this was a teenage girl until hitting that one word. It's what I would call dishonest reporting. It's obviously motivated by political correctness.
