Teen Porn Laws gone mad?

    This case caught my eye. Some lad has been taking pics of his todger and sending them to his girlfriend. That in itself stikes me as no biggie.

    He stands to be sent to jail and be on the offenders register for pics of himself. Is that mad?

    Police of obtained a warrant to photograph said todger and to induce an erection by drugs. That strikes me as way over the line.

    Should have stuck him in a room with a Ban Garda, no need for the drugs then.

    Mental alright. Badly though out/written law by the looks of it.

    Under Virginia law, anyone in possession of obscene photos of a juvenile is technically in possession of child pornography

    Does that not mean that the court is basically sanctioning the creation of child porn by taking pictures of the guy's dick?

    In fairness, he kept sending them to a 15 year old and was repeatedly told to stop. Sounds like he wouldn't stop, so they charged him with the only thing they could.

    Fair point but isn't this just something that parents sort out between themselves (or am I completely out of touch)?

    "You sit there, listen to what Mr GIRLS FATHER has to say."
    "Now hand over your phone - you can have it back in 6 months."

    Or have I just lost the plot?

    Haha, would the cops not have to arrest themselves if they went ahead with their little "identity parade"?

    He's under the age of consent too. Would you be saying the same if she had sent the pictures to him? Somehow I don't think so. :rolleyes:

    The crime isn't even for sending them to her, it's for creating images of himself and sending them to anyone.

    Too young to take a picture of his own cock but plenty old enough to be hauled through the courts for it. Makes perfect sense.

    You understand that when someone is charged with child porn some poor ****er has to go through all the images and catalog and label them? It's not a job I'd envy.

    Unless it ended up with her suffering some form of trauma I don't see the point. The difference between a 15 and 17 year old is minimal, and it does say that he was her girlfriend. I doubt it was the first time she'd seen his penis.

    Although I do agree that he should have stopped when he was told to stop.

    Sex between 17 and 15 year olds is legal under Virginia law. He probably should have stopped...unless she didn't have a problem with it? In which case, what business do the authorities have getting involved?

    And isn't that the real shame on our society?

    I look back at my own parents and my wife's and there is absolutely nothing that either would have done for us - they wouldn't take shoite though and they'd certainly let us know where we were falling short of their expectations :)

    OK, so if I'm understanding that right, the issue isn't even so much that he was sending the pictures to a 15-year-old, but that he was possessing and distributing child pornography of himself??

    I suppose we better start arresting every teenager for child abuse so, they're all interfering with themselves. Sending dick pics is a pretty stupid thing to do, but the fact that it's even a possibility that the poor lad could end up on the sex-offenders register for life over it is insane. That could literally ruin his life, all over a stupid decision that didn't hurt anyone. Teenagers having sex or engaging in sexual behaviour with teenagers is not the same thing as adults having sex with teenagers.

    Some might even say that teenagers having sex with teenagers is actually quite normal and healthy behaviour*

    We should arrest all parents as well that have pictures of their newborn children :rolleyes:

    Shouldn't she also go to jail for viewing child pornography?

    Regardless, this is insane.
