If she's on the sex offenders list, does that mean she can't live with herself?

I can understand if some slimy creep took pics of her or something -- then he could be charged with something.... but to charge her with a crime for taking pics of herself? What the heck?? What about looking at herself in the mirror naked -- does that constitute engaging in child porn as well? :confused:

according to their interpretation of the law, apparently yes.

HA, I live in Greensburg. Latrobe is like 5 minutes away from my house. Who'da thought my town would've made ATOT top topic of the minute.

Anyways, it sounds like the typical crap people do around here. I always said that there was nothing to do around here, but as you can see, people amuse themselves.

I don't agree that the charges should be so harsh though. Probably just trying to set an example and try to keep kids safe. Lots of online stalker stuff going on or whatever.

Weird. I graduated from Latrobe HS. My cousin probably goes to school with this girl.

Where do you draw the line though? If they don't prosecute for this, then in theory, all a pervert has to do is talk the child into taking their own pictures and giving them to him. Child porn is illegal, doesn't matter who made it.

Does this mean....

If I was to take "explicit" pictures of myself when I was, say 14, and then distrubute them when I was, say 40, I would suffer the full force of the child pornography laws?

Even if, for lack of a better reason, it envolved no one else but me? I was exploiting myself when I was 14, because I am 40 at the time of distribution?

I call paradox!

Nah, she just has to stay at least five miles away from herself.

They are naked under their clothing, so I'd advise against it

They're using legal methods to prevent her from spreading child porn pics to perverts. It's an attempt to limit what's going out to the internet pervs of the world such as yourselves. And yeah, this gets her in a position where maybe she'll never try something like this until she's of age.

That's what I was thinking, actually.

People can be so clueless.

Well, at least get her to wait until one minute after she turns 18, because that's better somehow...:confused:

I love how our society is structured.

No, I think that just means she has to knock on her own door and inform herself that she is a convicted sex offender. :confused:

And if she doesn't her probation is revoked.
