14 year old boy convicted of possessing child porn

    WTF??
    Parents and teachers have been warned about the growing danger of "sexting" among teenagers after a landmark conviction yesterday.

    A South West teenager who was sent images on his phone of a 14-year-old girl performing sex acts with older teenage boys pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography.

    The case is believed to be one of the first convictions of its kind involving "sexting" by children, in which they send sexually explicit material by mobile phone.

    The boy, 14, pleaded guilty to possession of child exploitation material after police found a 30-second video on his thumb drive.

    Police charged three older boys, aged 15 and 16, with sexual penetration of a child over 13 and under 16 after a teenage get-together on August 27.

    The girl, who had been invited to the event, was supplied with alcohol before the alleged offences. The 14-year-old who pleaded guilty yesterday was not at the party.

    Bit mental like. Presumably if hes 14, and he went off with a 14 , or even a 15 old girl, then by law hes a kiddy fiddler. In this case, someone sent him a video to his phone and he got stung for it.

    Mental law to be honest. Its there for the right reasons, but has a few bugs, to say the least!

    That's crazy. They're just being idiotic horny teenagers, its not like he has naked five year olds on his phone or anything.
    Whats even MORE messed up is the case of the teenage girl accused of child porn when she posted a naked picture of herself online.

    So, if you're 14, and have a ****, is this sexual molestation of a minor?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It's unusual, I think, because imagine if someone sent some heroin to the judges. The judge could then be also foudn to be in possession of illegal substances, just like this boy was even though he didn't actually do anything.

    Then again it is Australia......it's not even the 20th century over there yet socially.

    Does nobody remember the saga a few years ago with the picture of the girl in part of her school uniform that was being sent around schools? It was announced back then that possessing the picture would be an offence.

    The girl, who had been invited to the event, was supplied with alcohol before the alleged offences. The 14-year-old who pleaded guilty yesterday was not at the party.

    Video of the sex acts, which were recorded on a mobile phone, are believed to have been distributed among school mates.

    The convicted boy received the footage on his phone, took it to a school computer and downloaded it on to a thumb drive, before putting it on his home laptop.

    Teachers at the school became aware of the footage less than a week later and alerted police.

    Det Sen. Sgt Lindsay Garrett, of the online child exploitation squad, said the young girl would have been humiliated.

    Teenagers needed to know needed to know once sexual images were on the internet or on mobile phones, they were hard to stop, he said. "Once it's out there, it's out there for life."

    Robert Fry, president of the WA Council of State School Organisations, said parents and teachers needed to be aware that technology had advanced and allowed children to film explicit activities.

    He said the case should serve as a strong warning to teenagers.

    Education Department director-general Sharyn O'Neill said: "While I am not prepared to make any comment about the case, the filming and distributing of images designed to demean and humiliate anyone is disgraceful."

    WA Secondary School Executives Association president Rob Nairn said principals were aware that sexting was an emerging issue in schools. It had been working with the Education Department to develop new policy guidelines to help schools prevent and deal with the problem.
    The boy's case was referred to a Juvenile Justice Team.

    It's not like he was just sent the clip. He also put it on three different drives.
    Then again, he's only 14, and most 14 year olds are idiots.

    It doesn't say anything about the sentence, but it can't have been more than a slap on the wrist.

    On the other hand, I completely agree with the dudes who had sex with her being charged.

    The person who sent the clip around should be sent to the island of gay rapists.

    were they not 15 too ? im just wondering that if she was 14 and they were 15 and she performed sex acts on them then is she guilty of anything ? genuine question.

    Harsh. Its the exact same scenario in many US states.

    I think the mentality of charging teenagers with these offences is that by doing so, they are showing other kids how serious an issue this is. The rise of 'sexting' would scare the shíte out of me if I was a parent of a teenager.

    Kids as young as 13 and 14 are taking explicit shots of themselves and passing them around without a thought to the consequences. These pix don't always stay confidential and stuff that gets posted online is permanent. There are real predators out there. Also, the more kids see this happening the more pressure there is for them to be doing the same.

    I don't know that criminalising kids is the way to do it, but it is a real issue and something does need to be done to drum home the very real consequences of this.

    Well, I'm just a simple Hyper-chicken from a backwoods asteroid, so I don't know, but if you ask me, then I'd say that the fact it was filmed and distributed is what led to the convictions.

    We all know that 15 year olds having babies is not uncommon, but the father is rarely convicted. Similar to that is parents walking in and finding their teenager banging someone of a similar age. Again, convictions are rare in these circumstances.

    Teenagers have sex. That is an undeniable fact.
    Is it right? I'm on the fence on that one to a certain extent, but it does seem right when you're 14 and so is your partner. The main problem is that it usually happens through drink, so inhibitions go out the window. On top of that, condoms or other contraceptives are rarely used, so the chance of unwanted pregnancy is quite high.

    The difference in this case, as I see it, is that this girl was obviously quite immature or unstable. She was also drunk. Factor in the scumbag filming it and you have a girl who will go through a great deal of suffering because of one silly act.

    This will haunt her for many years to come. Ten years down the road she will be recognised by someone who saw the clip and had a pedal to it.

    We can all turn around and say that the girl played an equal part, but I don't believe this to be true.
    I'm not denying for one minute that 14/15 year old girls are willing to have sex (christ, I had more sex at that age than I did throughout my entire 20's), but it's usually a troubled girl who has sex with 3 boys in one night.
    The thing is, society will see the girl being ridiculed and bullied, whereas the boys will be treated as heroes. No, it's not right, but that's the way the world is and it's not going to change for a long time.

    im not saying the girl played an equal part, not when she was being filmed by someone else, actually the person who filmed it should get in some serious trouble.

    all in all i dont think its really fair to say that its only a troubled girl would sleep with a few guys in one night just because its almost as if we're judging the boys as men in their 20's. so a girl must be troubled but a boy of the same age mustn't be ? i just dont think that criminalizing them is the answer

    before anyone jumps on me, i do think its an awful situation for the girl now, after reading the story it said she was given alcohol, so who gave the alcohol to the boys ? maybe theres more to the story

    And not helped by attitudes such as (and available on AH):

    - My under-age son has sex with an older woman? Little legend! :D
    - My under-age daughter has sex with an older man? I'll take a ****ing crow-bar to him! :mad:

    Go on back to 4chan and your hentai kiddie porn. Good lad.

    I'd disagree to a certain extent.
    Most girls of that age would tend to be more wary of societies view on sex. Boys of that age are treated like gods when they have sex. Girls are viewed as whores.
    In most circumstances (from my own experiences at that age) it was always the troubled girls who were promiscuous. Those from stable backgrounds tended to be in long term relationships before having sex.
    Boys of that age will fúck anything regardless of their background.
    before anyone jumps on me, i do think its an awful situation for the girl now, after reading the story it said she was given alcohol, so who gave the alcohol to the boys ? maybe theres more to the story

    I'd imagine she got the alcohol in the same way that most kids of that age get it. I doubt there is anything sinister involved there.

    I will say though that most of the times I had sex at that age, it happened when me and whatever girl were sober. Looking back now, the girls were quite troubled.

    the fact that she was apparently drunk changes things


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,252 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    I see a group getting someone drunk and exploiting them as the real crime here, even without the age being considered.


  • Registered Users Posts: 865 ✭✭✭ShadowGal


    oh ok, i had it totally wrong then. i didnt know that they brought her there and plied her with drink to take advantage. i thought it was just a load of teenagers having a party that got stupidly out of hand

    Bloody media, Its been around since the 3310 just because its now "sexting" as opposed to sex-texting doesn't mean its a completely new phenomenon.
    Saw shag-bands in the news a week or two ago as well, only how many years late? :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,468 ✭✭✭Ectoplasm


    I'm so sorry the term the media uses offends you :rolleyes: I don't really give a monkeys how long it's been around, the fact that it's around at all would concern me if I was a parent. My point is it's not a good thing, whatever the fúck you want to call it.
