Teens Prosecuted For Racy Photos
An anonymous reader writes with a story on CNet about two teens who were prosecuted under anti-child-porn laws in Florida for having made and emailed racy photos of each other. Both were under 18 years old, so the resulting pictures are clearly illegal; but the teens' intent was not to share the pictures with anyone else. An appeals court majority opinion found that emailing the photos from one of the kids to the other was a careless act that should, it seems, bring down the full weight of the law. A minority opinion argued that the laws were intended to protect children from exploitative adults, not from other children.
Pics or it didn't happen.
This is the next step forwards. It is obviously only teenagers and pedophiles using this site. Best stop it at source. Shut down Myspace, faceparty, and anything else that teens can be involved with on the net. If we stop children using these sites, then we stop pedophiles using them too. Problem solved, right?
AC because this post will likely be moderated troll, when in fact I intended it to be insightful. id: 844933
And those caught masturbating will be charged with sexual abuse of a minor.
There's really no way to speculate about whether or not a crime occured without actually seeing the allegedly obscene images. For the sake of clarity can somebody post these so-called "racy pix" or email them to me (mfoley@hotmail). thx
Well, hopefully they won't make the sentences consecutive. Otherwise I'd have been put away till about the time the sun starts to expand into a red giant...
Have you been touched by his noodly appendage?
Rabbits live in holes, Trolls live in hills, caves and mounds - probably this is the closest thing that slashdot has to offer next to having a +1 - Rabbit moderation option.

Sorry, I can't recall you. I'm sure we had fun anyways.
Fnord.
Agreed, not only should this COUPLE be left alone by the law, but I should have a good look at the pics to make sure they weren't doing anything illegal...
They'd have been charged with child molestation.
The real question is whether they will be prosecuted as adults. Only then would the trifecta of contradiction be complete.
Those nipples I sucked during that time... well, I'd rather NOT see them again... Don't you agree?

You get caught that often!?
I'll tell you when I'm 80
Won't someone please think of the fucking children?
The manufacturer of the camera should be sued for not including warning labels telling teenagers not to photograph themselves!

At least I can keep track of these deviants using the Florida Convicted Sex Offender Database! When a 17 year old girl convicted of Sex Crimes moves in to my 'hood, I'll no *exactly* what to do!

It's harsh to say it, but when stories like this come up I start thinking that maybe the world would have been better off if the Romans hadn't run out of lions.
we went so far as to do it with my folks asleep upstairs just to 'stick it to the man'

I think you may have been doing it wrong. Maybe pay more attention in health class next time

I think an example needs to be made of these kids -- they should be tried as adults!
I'm worried, however, that then the Florida legal system might disappear in a puff of logic....

What a shock, Slashdot. All the people who claim to have lost their virginity at 15 get modded up. :P
