here's an interesting story about child pornography there's a fifteen-year-old
girl in florida fifteen years old who was arrested on a child porn charge for
allegedly showing some of her classmates a picture on her i thought
the picture showed to juveniles engaging in orel sex according to a police report
the girl admits to having taken that pornographic picture an affidavit that
was filed uh... to the sheriff's office
and the document does not identify the juveniles in the photo even though a
sheriff's spokesperson said that the fifteen-year-old who took the picture
herself
is one of the people depicted in the picture you with me so far louis
fifteen-year-old girl
fix a picture orel sex
uh... are taking place
presumably she is one of the two individuals in that picture our
follow-up
she's arrested for child porn
on may twenty first that by phone was seized from the girl during class by an
employee of wired grass ranch high school
and uh... and subsequent interviews
five different witnesses told the police officer that they had been shown the
child porn by the defendant
and the girl later admitted to taking the picture and and having it on her
iphone
goal gets arrested she's charged with a felony child pornography count and
agrawal
has uh...
uh... also
city did also says that the girl's name is rejected we don't know who it is
uh... and uh... it will be given is that he's fifteen years old
first of all
bill clinton explained that orel sex isn't actually sex anyway so it's a
really don't know if we can call a child porn
but putting putting that aside for a second
v
spirit of child porn laws
i think is without question
to prevent adults
from exploiting children by taking pornographic pictures of them
uh... it is not to punish children taking pictures of themselves
and their similarly aged friends remember child porn
you're in possession of pictures uh... of of reviewing pictures explicit
pictures of a minor but this is a fifteen year old and she is presumably
one of the individuals indicator
there is no that concerning fifteen has pictures of herself and success showing
that
that's concerning at something uh... her her
are at the parenting issue parent or guardian needs to deal with harry
guardian issue but this is really not the intent of child pornographers
is it chicky is she being protected by being arrested for being in possession
of a picture of herself
i we could argue that if it eventually leads to the destruction of the picture
she's in some way benefiting from this arrest
but this is not the intent of the laws
now and i think the only thing that could save ur here is that
because she is a minor she make it right is a minor moon and this might not end
up on their permanent record ever on her life
or hopefully dropped altogether hopefully but uh... you know if she is
labeled a sex offender
back imagine that writing a picture of yourself
and and someone else was your age yeah mitts on it doesn't this kind of show
the problems of
overzealous prosecution but more broadly also how absurd it is that there is such
a little prosecution of wall street white-collar tight crime yet we still
have time and band within the legal system to arrest a girl for having a
picture of herself
yeah i mean there's there's plenty of uh... better things that we could spend
our resources on i would say that this is an really uh...
did the reason why we don't prosecute wall street executives no uh... if
there's anything in the criminal justice system that would explain why we don't
focus on better things i think it's the drug war certain with specific a related
to this uh... i think uh... assuming that the other person involved in the
oral sex consented
so this video being taken and published forever was published
i would say that uh... it's ridiculous to it involve a legal system in our if
it was a consent issue with that i think it's there may be
and it would be a different case yes
