Va. Teen Faces Child Porn Charges For Tweeting Nude ‘Selfie’

http://washington.cbslocal.com/2014/02/07/police-teen-faces-child-porn-charges-for-tweeting-nude-photos-of-self/

JAMES CITY COUNTY, Va. (CBSDC) – A local teenager is facing child pornography charges after police say she shared nude photographs of herself on the social networking site Twitter.
According to WAVY, the unnamed 16-year-old suspect took “selfies” in which she was not wearing clothing, then shared them online at the end of last month.
Officials with the James City County Police Department told the station that teenagers sometimes fail to grasp the severity of the situation when publicly sharing private materials.
“It’s not just friends that see what they post but also strangers and everyone else out there,” Stephanie Williams-Ortery, a representative of the department, told WAVY. “You have no idea who’s out there watching. You never know who’s going to see what you post.”
A school resource officer was informed of the then-publicly available photographs’ lewd nature, and talked with both the teen and her mother about the situation.
Authorities then confiscated her phone and charged her with one count of distribution of child pornography.
The matter could become a criminal one with the potential of jail time, though experts who spoke with WAVY said that she will likely have to complete a Sexting Education program.
Officials hope a lesson has been learned by the teenager — and by others around her age — either way.
“I would hope that they would not then forward it on to their friends because then they become guilty also of distribution of child pornography, whether they know that or not,” Williams-Ortery was quoted as saying.

The only possible "victim" of this "crime" is her. Hmm.

I, for one, will feel much safer once this monster is off the streets and behind bars. It's for the children! Support your local law enforcement and DA, they are there to protect you!

The situation will go from bad to worse when they offer her a Plea Deal, which persuades her to waive her other rights so the Govt can get Money.

So they are protecting her from herself by ruining her life with a felony charge and possibly a spot on the registered sex offenders list? How can one victimize themselves again?

No, they never stop. They never have. They keep reaching until they get what their reaching for because there is no penalty for doing so. Then they immediately start reaching again.

I'm just messing with you. But, yeah. Right click. You wouldn't believe the wealth of information people share around here posting pictures of their guns and whatnot. And they probably don't even know it.

Edit - Oh, nevermind. I guess you were talking about the actual scene of something.

Wouldn't establishing a record on her like this run the risk of limiting her possibilities further in life?

We can't expect young people to be all grow up all of a sudden and not do the sort of things it takes to grow up.

Without knowing the context of the nude photographs, doesn’t the element of distributing child pornography require the intent of providing other’s with sexual arousal or gratification (e.g., why nude toddlers or children playing or taking a bath are common in advertisements or in motion pictures and the like (including the undergarments section of every major department store), along with family scrapbooks all across America)?

And is there not a loophole in the law about cases involving the photos or video being made by the child depicted in their own sexually suggestive materials, that they themselves are exempt from criminal prosecution, but the subsequent possession of those materials by other individuals is not?

And does the act of merely posting material legally qualify as the “distribution” of that material. How is that logically relative to say printing or emailing it out en mass to other individuals? That is to mean there is only one virtual source of the said material being made available (with the respective post likely being directed at one or a few specific individuals), and whatever else others choose to do with that material (e.g., download and/or distribute it) is entirely out of the originator’s hands and moreover is beyond their control and intentions.

Silly!

This isn't about her it's about the prosecutor and the headlines he's able to generate.

Yeah, I would bet up to $1000 that you're on a federal watchlist now if you used google search terms to find that information.

They have to make an example so others think twice about doing this. Can't have anyone feeling sexy about themselves before the govt approved age
