[Citizen Blade]

The law is supposed to get adults who take advantage of kids and the pervs who consume the resulting product (thus providing a market for the kiddie pornographers’ wares). DAs shouldn’t be bothering if no kids were taken advantage of by adults and there was no perv intent on the part of the accidental possessors.

I agree. I don't think these laws were meant to apply to a 16 year-old girl sending her boyfriend racy pictures of herself. Labelling either/both of them as sexual offenders, potentially for the rest of their lives, serves no legitimate purpose whatsoever. These laws exist to prevent the sexual exploitation of underage kids, not to punish teenagers for doing, frankly, what teenagers naturally do.

Here in OK.....people have been arrested for indecent exposure...for taking a leak. And guess what....they are now on "the list" for sexual offenders.

“If the law supposes that,” said Mr. Bumble,… “the law is a ass—a idiot. If that’s the eye of the law, the law is a bachelor; and the worst I wish the law is that his eye may be opened by experience—by experience.”

-Charles Dickens
