child pornography/sex offenders

[HaxorNubcake]

What I be prosecuted for possession of child pornography if I took pictures of myself nude(17) and stored them on the comp? what if I put them on the internet?

(purely hypothetical)

 

[shortspanishguy]

yes you would be held accountable.

 

[Ronstang]

Why would you want to do something like that?

 

[LtPage1]

No, but someone could be, I'm sure (ISP/hosting service?). Also anyone who downloaded them.

I don't. As I said, it was a purely hypothetical situation. However..say a teenager kept a rigorous exercise regimen and wanted to measure his progress through full body photographs. If the police for some reason or another accessed his computer, would he be held accountable?

There was just a thread about a case here where two underage teenagers took pictures of themselves..kept them to themselves..but now they're both sex offenders.

I'd guess this fits under that, unfortunately.

yeah but see they had pics of each other. What I'm asking is pictures of yourself ONLY

probably lots of people have pics of their kids with no clothes on (e.g., when they were in the bath or swimming pool). it's not pornography just because the child has no clothes on. there would have to be some kind of sexual activity or exploitation, I would have thought. Also, I doubt anyone would be dumb enough to prosecute such a situation.

yes because your computer might be haxored and then you'd be embarrassed so better if we try you for possession of child pronography!

You ever thumbed through the nude art books available at a normal book store like borders? (Yes, I was bored, and nude art sounded interesting haha...) There are some pretty disturbing books in there... innocent pics of your own children nude? well ok... but... publishing those photos in a book for the whole world to see??? :Q

I see no reason why nude portraits of kids or babies should be off limits for photographers or artists. the hysteria in the USA over child pornography is ludicrous.

 

[Staples]

If you are a guy I doubt it. But if you are a girl, you can get in trouble. There have been cases.

Ok, sure...everyone is entitled to their opinion. But honestly, would you want YOUR kids pictures to be seen by the world?
I don't have kids, but if I did... I assume I would have better stuff to worry about than some psycho hunting down my kids after seeing them in a book.

Reading recent news articles(for example a 17 year old that did exactly this), you'd probably become classified as a sex offender for the rest of your life, and possible jail time. Still interesting that nudity seems to be the root of all evil. Violence is good, unless it's in a video game, if it's in a video game violence in terrible. But what's REALLY bad is nudity and violence in a video game!!!!

 

[GTaudiophile]

Yes, I believe so. There are many stories of teens doing this and being arrested.

 

[Beev]

Yikes... better wipe my hard drive...

That's like, so not fair. When I was 14 me and this girl were like, hittin' it off so we used our webcams n stuff. Now I gotta go to jail. Why it gotta be like dat?

God I'm tired...

 

[PrinceofWands]

I'm sure you would be in today's society...doesn't make it in any way right, but it would probably happen anyway. Completely ridiculous culture we live in. *weeps*

 

[Zysoclaplem]

It's not your body until you are 18. Hey, we let them make these laws. It's our own fault. We definitely have enough people to rise up and overthrow but we never will.
