Man Jailed For Putting Family's Faces On Porn Pics

PROVO - A Utah County man will spend six weeks in jail for editing sexually explicit photographs -- to include faces of family and LDS community members.

Lance Rushton, 37, was sentenced to spend 45 days in jail for creating the bogus photos, which he even uploaded to the Internet -- where they remained for approximately a year. After serving the sentence, Rushton then must wear a GPS tracking bracelet for an additional 45 days.

Rushton apparently used sexually explicit photos from the Internet and edited them to include the faces of family and church members -- including young children.

Judge Claudia Laycock also ordered Rushton to write letters of apology to the victims.

Rushton regrets his actions, according to his attorney, and has been in therapy since his arrest.

I :heart: Utah county

Utah County is where all the crazy LDS folks come from. Any story (no matter how tall) you heard about the Mormons is probably true in Utah county.

I agree the children is a little much, but that is freaking hilarious. :laugh:

I wasn't aware that such a thing was punishable by the law.. WTF?

Slander, I guess?

Maybe. It's technically child porn if you use the likeness of someone under 18. But it's pretty tenuous since it was clearly part of a larger motif.

I wonder if the sentence took into account the entire photo or just the part with the children. He's lucky to get off relatively lightly, but therapy is a bit much.

EDIT: Or is it child porn? I've seen Photoshops of underage celebrities before. Would that legally be considered child porn?

Side note: Mormons hate Utah Mormons.

It's a fact, ask any mormon you know (that didn't grow up there).

Why the hell would you want to put your family's faces on porn pics? Does he want to see his mom in a porno?
