Canadian teen convicted of child pornography after reposting explicit photos of boyfriend's ex

[aGameOfThrones]

Sexting photos of yourself can be perilous, but sexting photos of somebody else could lead to jail time. A teenage girl in Canada has been convicted of distributing child pornography after she sent around five explicit pictures of a girl she found on her boyfriend's phone, CNN reports. The 16-year old defendant is being tried as a minor, and is out on bail while awaiting sentencing.


The trouble began back in November 2012 when the defendant found out that her boyfriend was receiving sexts from his ex-girlfriend. After making threats on Facebook, the defendant commandeered her boyfriend's phone and sent out the explicit pictures she found (of his ex) to several friends. It's hardly the stuff of child porn, the defendant's attorney Christopher Mackie told CNN, but Crown Prosecutor Chandra Fisher seems like she intends to set an example. Fisher said the case should serve as a warning to teens about the dangers of texting and posting inappropriate content online.

Yes, by all means, make a example out of this dangerous criminal.

DA's are apparently the lowest form of life in Canada too...

I feel better knowing she's off the streets.

It's for the children...

Some teenaged girl lets her jealousy overcome her better judgement and some low-life public employee is permitted to saddle her with a felony sex charge for the rest of her life..:mad:

This DA, his staff and the entire court staff that permitted these filings needs to be drug out into the public square and have acts performed on them not suitable for print on a public forum...

I wonder if the boyfriend was charged with possession and the gal who originally sent or took the pic was charged with distribution too? How about we just throw every one in jail now and be done with it? :rolleyes:

[compromise]

This, people, is why you should never send pics to Danno.
