Children’s Child Porn Ring Smashed

A group of children who engaged in the practice of “sexting”, texting naked and semi-naked pictures of themselves to one another, have been arrested for manufacturing, disseminating and possessing child pornography.
The girls so charged are aged 14 or 15, and are accused of making the porn, whilst the boys, aged 16-17, are accused of possession.
Their child pornography sex ring was uncovered after teachers confiscated a mobile phone from a boy, and whilst rifling through its contents, as might be expected of them, found it to contain nude pictures of a classmate. The wise teachers quickly called in police to crack the case.
Police Captain George Seranko, who helped thwart the wicked pornographers and bring them to justice, eloquently described the photographic consequences of their obscene antics as: “a self portrait taken of a juvenile female taking pictures of her body, nude.”
The captain was clear that the villains must be made an example of:
“It’s very dangerous, once it’s on a cell phone, that cell phone can be put on the Internet where everyone in the world can get access to that juvenile picture. You don’t realize what you are doing until it’s already done.”
The school district was blasé about the child pornography ring uncovered in one of its schools: it found “no evidence of inappropriate activity on school grounds … other than the violation of the electronic devices policy.”
A lawyer with experience with such cases weighs in, saying the laws are not meant to target wicked juvenile pornographers, but “sexual abuse” by “dirty old men in raincoats.”
“It’s clearly overkill … The letter of the law seems to have been violated, but this is not the type of defendant that the legislature envisioned.”
Pennsylvania does not have a mandatory minimum sentence for such offences, so it is his opinion that they may escape jail.
However, if convicted they would become registered lolicon sex offenders for at least 10 years, meaning they would be subjected to such restrictions as not being able to visit or live in proximity to schools (difficult in the case of school children), having to report their convictions to employers, and apparently in some states they would even have to surrender their passwords to the authorities.
There have been a number of other similar cases involving minors creating criminal depictions of themselves, and the law has been successful in ensuring that a number of these juvenile child pornographers have been brought to justice for their crimes.
That said, there are some doubts over whether the privacy violating phone contents searches will fare well in courts.
Disturbingly, we also hear that as many as 20% of teenagers may be wicked child pornographers, as a National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy survey revealed 22% of girls and 18% of boys admitted sharing nude images of themselves.
Truly, even the schools themselves are not safe from this blight.

These are just kids who doesn’t know what they are doing. So, can't they have a light punishment and get over it?
Why punishment? I see nothing wrong except for police and teacher behavior. They should be punished alright.
actually they probably did know wat they were doing
So loli get charged as a lolicon? How unusual.
I, for one, support underage sexting.
The most hilarious thing about this is that it isn't child pornography at all.
Firstly because the photos were merely nude pictures, involving no sexual material whatsoever. Secondly because the people involved are not children, they are young adults who are sexually mature.
Why must the world be so full of gibbering fools?
Because Americans are idiots?
WE WILL PROTECT THE CHILDREN, even if we have to kill them all off to do it!
These kids now have criminal record and are probably on sexual offenders list. They are fucked as far as getting jobs go. Another people on government dole lol.
I'll stick to masturbating to photos of myself when I was 10 then...Nothing wrong with that...Unless they make another 'law'...
Oh lawd! Children fappin' to children!
Although they're at that age...
what if you're carrying nude photo's of yourself. pornographic or not, maybe like portfolio stuff, nude though, but kinda artistic. is that gonna be the same thing?
Artefact, there is a error in your report, right here:
"The wise teachers quickly called in police to crack the case AFTER they saved all the photos".
Now we just need to wait the MOFO's to upload it.
C'mon!!!
Wait a min...is there are proof that this "child porn ring" distributes the pictures over the internet?
From what I see, they are only distributing it within a circle of friends, right?
And these are just kids who doesn't know what they are doing...
Um, they know what they are doing. They are sharing naked pictures of themselves. This us ridiculous; the only reason they have these laws is to protect children from sexual predators. Obviously when sharing these pictures among mutual friends in the same age group that involves no predator whatsoever. And isn't it kinda sexist to charge the boys with one crime and the girls with another? Give me a fucking break. Kids that age are going to be attracted to one another; would you rather they illegally look at playboy? And how in the hell are these purple content with prosecuting children?! Please excuse the rant.
I thought the age range was going to be like 7-12. Those are already teens.
Yeah I think they need to make a bloody distinction in the law between a child and an adolescent as they are NOT THE SAME FUCKING THING.
not an adult =/= a child. It can mean that certainly but they are incorrectly lumping a whole different decade full of ages which are neither children, nor adults.
Hell if I was the kids I'd argue the fucking semantics of the thing. If nothing else maybe they could get the shit to make legal distinction between a fucking child and an adolescent.
"We charge you for creating child pornography. How do you plead."
"Not guilty. I am 15 years old and therefore no longer a child. Either charge me with 'adolescent pornography' or leave me alone with this idiocy."
the teacher looked at the pictures thus he is guilty...
the police looked at the pictures they are guilty...
this is an invasion of privacy...
everyday the people die a little more...
you want to enforce the law...
then nuke the planet...
only way to be sure
A few centuries ago it's common practice to marry a 12 years old almost everywhere, but now it's treated as a crime worse than murder. Just funny how moral can change with time.
Yes, but back then the average life expectancy was about 35 years. People were expected to grow up and start contributing to society alot earlier than they are now.
And teachers wonder why nobody likes them...
This is kind of why I setup my phone to lock up on power up and 30 seconds of idol time. (Keeping people out of my call log & contacts if it's lost or stolen)
Ithink they are right keep it up guys i wish i were in your shoes haaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Over reaction? Or maybe spot on teacher and poilce work
where is it from again japan?
Pennsylvania USA
Hicksville, Dumbfuckistan.
I suppose that's correct too LOL
Links to those vids would be nice. To uh...speculate.
I think I could prove that those images are not intentionally made pornographic material but made by mistake, thus making the accusation illegible!
But eh... I first need to see all of them /grin
You have a filthy mind. Filthy, filthy filthy...
No, we're trying to help here /grin
remember that a boy's cellwas taken so do you really want his pics
I notice these threads get way more comments then normally when it's related to child pornography.
The whole case is just stupid. If they want to distribute naked pics of themselves go for it. They will understand the consequences later on when they finally develop a brain. I think the teacher isn't completely wrong but he could have handled the situation way better. I would have just consulted the parents. Girls have it so damn easy lol. They could be just selling body shot for cash. Sounds like a nice inside school business if you don't mind be labeled a slut or worse
Not really sure if it's so much caek that draws the comments, or the politics/legal that does it, but...I don't see what the harm is in letting these stupid kids do stupid things on their own. IMO though probably not relevant, the pictures should not be admissible in court because the teacher in this case acted as a representative of the State when he examined the phone and found the pics of them.
Sigh, desu~
Well they ARE child pornographers.
I don't wish to go over the morality of it: right or wrong, as citizens we all play this game of Law. We're protected by it, so we're in the game. So, we must keep every violations our own secret. It's simple, really.
I hope you see your own stupidity. Why hide from thing that is suposed to protect you? It's obvious that when you feel the need to hide is from your enemy not your friend.
Hah, so minors can now be labeled sex offenders for possessing naked pictures of themselves? That's as retarded as saying that you can go to jail for seeing yourself naked in the shower.
oh noos.
don't tell the police about the shower masterbaters then. that counts as both underage porn and underage sex.
ROFLMAO.
genecide too as thousands of potential people drown (as may be the case of males)
Whatever happened to the days where the teachers just went to the parents and you got the shit kicked out of you and that was it?
Government got bigger and certain laws bind teachers to report these kind of things or get fired.
.......this is why I hate people. How fucking retarted is the police. GO AFTER REAL CHILD PORNOGRAPHERS YOU STUPID S.O.BS..
"Your tax dollars put to work" ...yeah.....I'm thrilled
you dumbass...
Those kids above WERE child pornographers!
You say that like you think they WOULDN'T charge someone who committed suicide with 1st degree murder if they weren't already dead.
Only reason why they don't is because it's impossible for now.
But they were pornographing THEMSELVES. That's like charging someone who atempted suicide with atempted murder.
or people who dump waste at a refuse site as enviromental vandals
It's not their fault they got these kids as child pornographers, kids are the only ones these lazy idiots can catch.
yeah!
And people withdrawing money as theft!!!
I guess the cops can't catch real criminals, so they go after kids being dumb kids. The Barney Fife vice squad.
Also, why the hell didn't I get to go to school with girls like that?
