This is a blatant abuse of trust and just plain creepy. I think it could hurt the kid psychologically if they know about it and are not counseled about it, so it is in no way a victimless crime.

well it isnt victimless NOW, of course. if he was just keeping the pics to himself, then it really, really was.

again not sticking up for him just pointing out obvious things people seem to have forgotten!

edit: hi couch isnt it fun to be on the defending pedos side

lol i got som sweet pix wanna see em later?
 

Are you serious? Seriously?  Do you think an 11 year old actually knows the series of serious consequences of what he/she is doing? And if there is a person who is under the legal age being photographed in a pornographic manner, I seriously doubt the kiddie had been informed of exactly what it is/the consequences of what theyre doing.

When was the last time you were around an 11 year old kid? They know way more than you think they know.

Also, Couch, I see what you're saying. I don't think it should be a 'child pr0n' charge. SOME kind of charge, imo, but that's not even logical.

what im saying is that im pretty sure the ILLEGAL part of it comes from the fact that the kid is involved in it and they are being taken advantage of though' date=' not cause the government thinks its gross and doesnt want him doing it.  It's illegal because it harms another human being.[/quote']
I gotcha. I'd subscribe to that.
