13-Year-Old Charged In Child Porn Case
The Associated Press | October 18, 2004

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- A 13-year-old Lacey boy who posted pictures of himself on the Internet was charged with possessing and dealing in child pornography.

A Thurston County deputy prosecutor, John Skinder, said the boy was charged Friday with possessing and dealing in depictions of a minor engaged in explicit behavior.

He was released to his parents while the case is pending. If convicted he faces up to 60 days in juvenile detention.

That's idiotic. I mean it goes without saying that he shouldn't have done something like this, but because of a stupid stunt he will probably be labeled as a sex offender for the rest of his life. Which an incident like this doesn't really warrant...

Given that the material he possessed and dealt in was himself, it is kinda wierd. Seems like a dumb and dangerous thing to do but I'd rather see those who rewarded or incited such actions charged. Where he got the idea and the knowledge of a ready market is more important in many ways.

I remember hearing about some kids a few years back that got busted for child porn.
it was two teenagers who had filmed themselves having sex. they weren't perverts, just dumb kids. I don't remember what happened to them, the charges were probably dropped.

I don't know any more about this 13 year olds case then was mentioned above. it could be that he simply took nood's of himself (dumbass) and put them on his own site to show to his own friends or some chick that is the same age. is it illegal for teens to take nood pics of themselves?

Well I dunno what the photos depicted but I s'pose if it was something graphic there might be a case. But it was probably relatively harmless in which case the kid should be grounded, not tried in court.

The sad part is there are probably thousands of pervy bastards who searched high and low on the net for those pics when they caught wind of the story............anyone seen partsbara?
