I don't see how the punishment is severe. First of all anyone should be arrested for uploading photos or photos of anyone without their permission but when the girl is 16 he deserves everything he gets.

There are no qualifiers needed when it comes to child porn. You post a nude photo of an underage person and that's child porn.

It was only a matter of time before it ( the cp mania hunt ) hit the mainstream public ... now about that copyright infringement ...

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

They are both underage. Not exactly child porn. Not sure if naked people are pornographic anyway.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

Nudity isn't considered Pornographic. Even pictures of children of any age nude is perfectly legal, as long as there isn't a sexual component involved.

Just last week, we had the uncut version of Pretty Baby on a basic cable television network here in Canada. Full frontal nudity with a 12 year old prepubescent Brooke Shields!

The case that Gonzo mentioned seems a bit suspect. I highly doubt the 17 year old was really charged, but that the threat was just used to scare him.

He was charged http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive...1myspace1.html

Your tax dollars at work in Wisconsin.

This thing will never see the inside of a court room. The most he can get of the 3 is the defamation, and even then, with him being 17, that'll just go away.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

If the photos of the minor are obviously displayed to appeal to prurient interests, I'm pretty sure it will qualify as CP and based on the descriptions I doubt they were innocent photos of a nude girl but rather the girl posing provocatively for her boyfriend.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

so you are agreeing with me on the subjectivity of the porn or art debate. Hammer, a 17 year old kid with pics of a 16 year old is hardly grounds for a kiddy porn charge. Only in America.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

Seems to me they need to charge her with something for producing cp if they are going to hit him with possession.

Only fair.


Such bullshit. Yeah, he was an idiot to put them up there. An idiot to wise off to the cops.

But I don't think he was a felonys worth of an idiot.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

He was charged and the charge is valid for one simple reason: He shared images on a minor nude (and likely showing all parts) to the general public. That is distribution of CP. Posession isn't the issue, posting them in public and making them available to anyone and everyone (including a few pedos, i am sure) is grounds enough.

If it was just pics he had on his cell phone, then fuck no. Putting them in public is where the line was crossed.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

No, the line was crossed when they told him to take them down and he told them to fuck off. I would bet that there would have been nothing of consequence done if he had pulled them when they told him what would happen "if he did not remove the pictures"

He wised off to the cops so they decided to charge him.

Never mouth off to a cop, they can fuck you pretty good if they want.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

Charges are just that, and only that, charges.

It takes charges, prosecution and conviction to send him to jail and quite often the first two are motivated by political or media pressure rather than the intent of the law.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

Sorry, have to disagree with that one. An image of a minor nude is not considered CP by either the US or Canadian governments, unless there is a sexual component to it. I can still run down to the magazine store in most cities and pick up a copy of H&E, or other naturist publications. Those are full of naked kids either singly or in groups. Those magazines have been around since the late 1950's.

None of us can really comment on what pictures she did take of herself, and how she was posing, other than what we can read on the complaint. But from what was describes, I doubt it would stand up in any court as CP.

Regardless of all that, that 17 year old does need a good beating.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

Danny... I think "look at how big her hole is" suggests that there was some gyno work here, otherwise who would be able to see the size of her hole? ;)

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

9 out of 10 times that I've seen kids post that kind of stuff, you never really see much. Remember, it's a 17 year old geeky looking kid. But, that's why I said none of us can really comment on the pictures themselves as we haven't seen them.

This will probably be tossed very soon. But then again, the US Prosecutors are quite well known for having little if any common sense in these matters. Remember the 17 year old in Florida who got sent to jail for 10 years for getting oral sex from his 15 year old girlfriend? That conviction was a jaw-dropper around the world!

And we talk about the Middle East being extreme!! I think "Middle America" is quickly catching up!

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

Should have pointed out that the jailed kid was freed late last year after his sentence was overturned. He spent over 2 years in State Prison, and that doesn't include the pre-trial time that he was remanded into custody!

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

I'm glad he went to jail just for being a 17 year old white kid from Wisconsin who talked like "Yo dis yo B homie nawhatamsayin shizzle shizzle foe rizzle dat hoe yo B" Do they even have black people in Wisconsin? Where did ghetto fresh wonderbread here learn his ebonics?

I better watch my mouth though, he might put on the most gangsta ass cheesehead I ever did see and come blaze me son!

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

That's Florida for you, what was it two years ago they charged some middle school student as an adult for hacking because the teacher left the room with a spreadsheet open and he changed his grade on the spreadsheet. Florida has it's own category on fark for a reason. For such a religious state they sure as hell don't believe in redemption.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

Geeky looking 17 year old? ummm... have you see any 17 years olds lately? Remember Tracy Lords? Hardly what I would call geeky.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

I know a hacker jailed for just accessing records that were wide open.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

The kid was given a chance to remove the pics before legal action was taken...now he will have to pay for his stupidity...the term seems unjust but o'well! I do believe that the girl should have some charges as well..she did take the pic in the first place! Where in the hell are the parents at? I would slap my kid upside the head if I thought they might be having sex at such an early age.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

I'm still waiting for the obligatory "Gonzo you violated a copyright" post.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

I think hes busy trying to salvage his kinkos lawsuit.

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

But Traci Lords never looked like this....

That would be, umm, "lame".

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

Another reason myspace should be over 18. And they complain about us. lol

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

I agree with you on that note! The teens should stick to Nick..

Re: Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace
 

Actually, it brings up that whole issue of parental responsibility. Why were the police talking to the 17 year old, rather than addressing the issue to his parent or legal guardian? It would seem to me that the parents of this guy (and the girl for that matter) need a legal bitch slap to remind them that the responsiblity for their children didn't end after 5 minutes of manual labor 18 years ago.
