6 Pennsylvania Teens Face Child Porn Charges For Pics of Selves

mikesd81 writes "MSNBC reports six Pennsylvania high school students are facing child pornography charges after three teenage girls allegedly took nude or semi-nude photos of themselves and shared them with male classmates via their cell phones. Apparently, female students at Greensburg Salem High School in Greensburg, Pa., all 14 or 15 years old, face charges of manufacturing, disseminating or possessing child pornography while the boys, who are 16 and 17, face charges of possession. Police told the station that the photos were discovered in October, after school officials seized a cell phone from a male student who was using it in violation against school policy and the photos were discovered at that time. Police Capt. George Seranko was quoted as saying that the first photograph was 'a self portrait taken of a juvenile female taking pictures of her body, nude.' The school district issued a statement Tuesday saying that the investigation turned up 'no evidence of inappropriate activity on school grounds ... other than the violation of the electronic devices policy.'"

    Buy up pictures from teens for resale. Easy, electronic transactions that are nearly untracable and a virtually unlimited supply of pictures.

    We all know there is a market, and nothing sells like porn. Time for some real home-grown kiddie porn from the US. I wonder what sort of domain name would work for this?

    But you have no right whatsoever to look through the contents of my phone.

    They may have looked at the contents in order to identify the owner of the phone so that it could be returned to the proper owner.

    I would also guess those teachers showed each other the photos for awhile before acting on them. This from first-hand knowledge of teachers in what was to become my high school watching students have sex in a car after school in the parking lot.

    But they can't even get that right.

    I tried looking for 2 girls 1 cup and all I found were a bunch of stupid attention-starved kids making yucky faces and otherwise behaving like retards. I feel cheated!
