ABC News: Teen Charged With Sending Nude Pics of Herself
This story is a fairly extreme example of just how screwed up our nation is when it comes to sexuality:
Teen Charged With Sending Nude Pics of Herself
A 15-year-old Ohio girl faces felony charges and may have to register as a sex offender for allegedly taking nude photos of herself and sending them to her high school classmates.
A sex offender. Because, clearly, by taking pictures of herself, she’s demonstrated that she poses a danger to others.
The girl, whose name has not been released, was arrested last week and charged in juvenile court with possessing criminal tools and the illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material.
The criminal tools? A cell phone. The minor she illegally used? Herself.
As if that weren’t stupid enough, Broadsheet reports:
What’s more, charges might still be filed against the students who received the photos, regardless of whether they received them unwillingly. State law holds that “anyone possessing material that shows a minor in a state of nudity is guilty of a fifth-degree felony,” according to the Newark Advocate. If convicted, they could face registration as a sex offender for 10 years.
Involuntary child pornography! That’s impressively stupid.
Really, though, the icing on the cake is the name of the high school the 15-year-old pornographer attends: Licking Valley.
Yeah.
