14-Year-Old Girl Faces 17 Years for Photographing Self

schoolgirl-camera-criminal.jpg

A 14-year-old girl who took naked pictures of herself for her boyfriend’s entertainment and posted them on her MySpace profile faces charges of possessing and disseminating child pornography, with a maximum sentence of 17-years. If convicted, the young predator also faces a lifetime of discrimination as a registered sex offender, along with rapists and pederasts.

This is apparently only one of many such incidents, with authorities now keenly launching a nationwide crackdown on the depraved actions of child-paedophiles, lest a plague of self-exploiting children predate upon themselves.

The girl seemingly wished to provide an erotic spectacle for her boyfriend (who was apparently fortunate enough to avoid seeing the images and so face charges himself), and so she took 30 pictures of herself in a state of undress, described by authorities as “very explicit.” She placed these on her MySpace profile page for his pleasure.

The scurrilous images soon came to the attention of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who rushed to inform state police of the danger this paedophile posed to herself.

Police quickly served an arrest warrant on the girl child abuser, charging her with possession and distribution of child pornography. Though potentially a dangerous sex offender, they released her back into her mother’s custody.

In the event of her conviction, the girl will be forced to register alongside other perverts as a sex offender on the state’s register, as mandated by “Megan’s Law”, a law designed to ensure those who vile reprobates who so much as look askance at a child are denied normal lives in perpetuity.

The maximum sentence of 17 years in jail may be avoided as the young child pornographer may secure leniency, but there is not talk of dropping the charges.

The lady responsible for the creation of Megan’s Law is uncomfortable to see it exercised in this way; she seems to think prosecuting children for taking risqué photos of themselves is an inappropriate application of the law:

“This shouldn’t fall under Megan’s Law in any way, shape or form. She should have an intervention and counseling, because the only person she exploited was herself.”

The recent concern to hunt down the self-exploiting children who despicably take pictures of themselves for the titillation of themselves and their friends has been felt throughout the US.

Prosecutions in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, North Dakota, Ohio, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin have been attempted in order to stamp out these child-run child pornography rings.

A recent case in Pennsylvania, where three girls took nude pictures of themselves, is a case in point. There the perpetrators also face significant sanction.

This case is however notable in that it is apparently the first to involve online social networking services.

Parents are warned to keep an eye on their children’s online activities lest they too turn into child paedophiles, the attorney general having this to say:

“Unfortunately, youth don’t have the same judgment as adults, and often adults don’t have the same technical savvy as the youth.”

Of course, this lack of judgment is no excuse for them not to be properly tried for their wickedness.

Via SFGate.

Protecting children from exploiting and predating upon themselves is clearly a matter of nationwide concern in the US, one of the least safe places to be a child in the developed world, despite having done more than any other nation to ensure children remain asexual until the age of 18.

    Maybe "sex offender" is the wrong label to be stuck with for life. How about "fucking moron."

    I agree this form of extremeist reactions need to be stopped. If a teenage girl sends pictures to her bf that is her bussiness. Now granted she should of sent them through aim or other such means, but a maximum of 17 years wow really. She did no possess child porn, for she herself was the child. Thats like saying you masturbated so that means you raped yourself and if your a young teenager you also are now charged with child rape. Stupdity in the world knows no bounds!

    What a stupid statement. I'm going to assume Anon is a guy. Do guys normally post nude pics of themselves on-line? No. Obviously Anon is stupid enough that if he were a girl he'd be right up there with the other self-exploiting child predators.

    Getting caught doing something illegal is moronic.

    But should taking (even nude) pictures of yourself be illegal? It seems like an unfair jurisdiction on what we can do with our own bodies.

    Does this mean that when a minor masturbates, that they are sexually assaulting themselves? Ridiculous.

    Why yes it does! I'm racking up a huge charge upon myself utilizing the content on this site. I'm gonna take myself to court when I rack up the nerve to accuse myself for the sexual predator. The amount of times I've sexually assaulted myself is quite high so I should be able to get myself locked away for quite a bit of time. =D

    While the whole child predator thing is way over the top, the fact is she could have gotten her boyfriend in a ton of shit and she is old enough to know better.

    She in this case deserves the same punishment that the boy would have received for seeing them (visa-versa if it was a boy showing off to a girl).

    That being said, sharing nude photos and consensual sex with minors (as a minor yourself, or within a realistic age difference 1-2 years), is far to harshly punished atm.

    More distinction needs to be made between a 40 year old violating a 14 year old, and 2 14 year old being stupid.

    Which leads into the insane rape laws atm with regards to just under and just over "age of consent". But that would be a very long tirade and it's been done to death.

    Not to mention the irony of the text.

    The parents are advised to pay more attention to the children's oline activities. But if the parents happen to see any of the child pornography their own children uppload they can get arrested for viewing child pornography.

    How fancy is that?

    It's "the United States of America", shortened into "America". Just like how you shorten it into "United States".

    Which is, for your information, is not specific enough since it is not the only country with the words "united" and "states" in its name. If you want to be anal about it, of course.

    Nope, the US is now the USSA, translated as "United Socalist States of America" (if not now, it will be soon) ;)

    But anyway, it's ridiculous to charge these kids as sex offenders and/or paedos when they're doing this to themselves. It's just teens being stupid, like many of us during those years. The authorities in all of these cases need to take the stick out of their asciis and chock it up to teenage stupidity. Damn morons. (-_-#)

    USA was originally a republic; a constitutional republic.

    But they don't teach that anymore. Why? Because in a constitutional republic, you cannot have your rights VOTED AWAY from you. That doesn't go along with the plan, I'm afraid, so now its a 'SHUT UP AND TAKE IT, YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES, EVEN THOUGH WE CONTROL THEM BOTH AHAHAAHAHAH' democracy.
