Teen "Asshat" Posts Pictures of Nude Girlfriend on MySpace

He was charged and the charge is valid for one simple reason: He shared images on a minor nude (and likely showing all parts) to the general public. That is distribution of CP. Posession isn't the issue, posting them in public and making them available to anyone and everyone (including a few pedos, i am sure) is grounds enough.

If it was just pics he had on his cell phone, then fuck no. Putting them in public is where the line was crossed.

No, the line was crossed when they told him to take them down and he told them to fuck off. I would bet that there would have been nothing of consequence done if he had pulled them when they told him what would happen "if he did not remove the pictures"

He wised off to the cops so they decided to charge him.

Never mouth off to a cop, they can fuck you pretty good if they want.

Sorry, have to disagree with that one. An image of a minor nude is not considered CP by either the US or Canadian governments, unless there is a sexual component to it. I can still run down to the magazine store in most cities and pick up a copy of H&E, or other naturist publications. Those are full of naked kids either singly or in groups. Those magazines have been around since the late 1950's.

None of us can really comment on what pictures she did take of herself, and how she was posing, other than what we can read on the complaint. But from what was describes, I doubt it would stand up in any court as CP.

Regardless of all that, that 17 year old does need a good beating.
