15-Year-Old Girl Faces Child Porn Charges for Nude Cell Phone Pictures of Herself


NEWARK, Ohio — Central Ohio authorities have filed felony charges against a 15-year-old girl accused of taking nude cell phone photos of herself and sending them to high school classmates.
Police say the Newark Licking Valley student was arrested Friday and held over the weekend. On Monday, she entered denials to juvenile charges of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material and possession of criminal tools.

A spokeswoman for the Ohio attorney general's office says an adult convicted of the child pornography charge would have to register as a sexual offender, but a judge would have flexibility on the matter with a convicted juvenile.
A prosecutor says Licking County authorities also considering charges for students who received the photos.



gotta love when the rules set up to protect get used completely wrong
 
I just hate it when I see laws twisted and used in ways different from the original intention. And seriously they're considering pressing charges against the students who are getting the pictures? Did they even know they were getting the pictures?
 
Thats a BS charge for the people she sent it to. How the hell are they supposed to know what some freak texts them?

or they knew. maybe even encouraged it. hell for all we know they paid her for it.

Why assume the worst from the boys? How come she doesn't default to being the sex starved kid? That's sexist!
 
So when is Miley Cyrus going to be arrested then?

And nude doesnt always equal porn. These laws were made to help stop old perverted drunks from abusing children, not to throw 15 year olds in jail for having a healthy libido and a camera in jail.
 
WOW this is just dumb. I was wondering when this would happen with the way teenagers are now. Hell for all we know most the webcam videos on the net are some 17 year old that made it. It would be one thing if someone forced her into this but then you wouldn't arrest her you would arrest the person that forced her to do this. Also if they do something to the people that got the text with the picture then that opens up all sorts of fucked up shit. Hell if a 15 year old doesn't like someone that is 18 or old but can get their cell phone number, all she has to do is send a text of her and its done. Hell wouldn't take much for her to get the someones cell number. They need to through this case out and tell her to nock this shit off.
 
[quote name='Danimal']This happened in a place called Licking Valley? I'm sorry, but that's just awesome.[/quote]
And ironically, this could have happened because she was lonely, and nobody was licking her valley. Oh, the irony.
 
Licking County? Oh, they're just asking for this.

So, the students she sent the nudies to requested them? If not, how is it their fault. That's like being arrested for receiving spam.

Bad enough this 15yo did self nudies, but to pose in a sexual fashion, concentrating on her privates? We know this because simple nudies would fall under art.

Methinks someone's son never got the pics, and complained to mommy/daddy. Or worse, mommy/daddy's upset they never got them.

Worse yet, somewhere areal child porno is being set free. Still, at least we can rest knowing our kids will not receive self nudoes of a 15yo classmate.
 
I'm so glad that the Ohio criminal justice system has nothing better to do with its time. Unless they have a law against child stupidity, this has been another gleaming example of a waste of taxpayer dollars.
 
Like it or not, this is a legitimate case. While I don't agree with prosecuting those that received the photos unless it can be proven that they solicited or further distributed them, she did produce illegal material that could potentially fall into the wrong hands.

What is the difference between this and an enterprising 15 year old with a camera taking self pictures and selling them? Is it okay as long as it is a picture of himself/herself?

While this person shouldn't be tried as an adult or have to register as a sex offender, some type of punishment is warranted in order to deter the practice.

You're absolutely right.

And to be absolutely fair the very next thing we should do is arrest Bristol Palin (VP Candidate Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter) because she is an under 18 and she obviously got naked, showed her naked body to a boy, and then saw him naked, and then had sexual intercourse!

A small fine or slap on the wrist won't teach them a lesson. Maybe we can both girls to wear scarlet A's too, so their sexuality can be further shamed. I'm sure their classmates already know about this now that it is national news - but there may be one or two people who didn't get the memo and everyone should get on the shame shame shame bandwagon. This is America after all, gotta keep it real - right my Puritan homie (shout out to niceguyshawn)
 
The Bristol Palin comparison is just stupid unless there is film of the conception being distributed that I don't know about.

The pictures are being distributed. If one of those pictures had ended up on an 18 year old's phone, tell me he wouldn't be arrested for possessing child porn.

What you are saying is that as long as it is the child is producing the material, it should be okay to distribute and possess the material.

And, if you had actually read the post, I suggested that this person NOT be labeled as a sex offender (the modern day Scarlet Letter).

And people thought I was crazy when I said the girl in The Guy Game case deserved punishment too...

Kids aren't as innocent as people want to believe.

That being said, bringing felony charges in this case is ridiculous. The girl used bad judgment, but more shit happens at spin the bottle, or in the backseat of a car at that age. Yet, people go apeshit at the thought of a picture of it. Unless you are that kid in Georgia who basically got a ten year sentence for a blowjob...

Should she have done it? No. Should she be charged with a felony for taking pictures of herself? No. Should those who received the pics be punished? Unless they made her take the pics and specifically asked for them, no. Should she have some other intervention/punishment? Yes.

Just the thought of her possibly registering as a sex offender for taking pictures of herself is one of the stupidest things I have ever read.

I never said it was all OK. A little parenting goes a long way. Heck maybe even have a HS counselor talk to her and followup with a discrete administration of detention if you want to send a message.

Think about how irrational your position is. For a HS student, taking a photo of your boob and sending it in a text to a friend is a felony for both parties (thus inevitably leading to becoming a spectacle), but having sex and then taking the baby to term out of wedlock is just fine and peachy as far as the law is concerned.

Which do you think is going to lead to more negative life consequences? And then compare that to which one you see fit to punish (or have federal authorities "intervene" - you're right that word is doubleplusgood!)

my best-friend is an 8th grade teacher, and they take a trip to Washington DC once a year by bus... well 2 years ago a girl was found out to be in the back seat GIVING HEAD to a kid... on the bus.

that's what kids are into these days.

Luck-E!

I can't imagine how embarrassing that must be to get caught giving head on a bus for an 8th grade field trip. But then again, if she didn't have the foresight to realize that something like that would happen, I guess she wasn't hit that hard by it. (That's what she said).

They didn't actually get caught in the act... another kid on the feild trip went home and told his mom... and then she proceded to call the school...

now they have the teachers spread out throughout the bus, instead of all up front.

It isn't just these days.

I was living in North Dakota when in the 7th grade. We went to Bismarck for a track meet, while there there was a guy and girl in the back of the van and she was giving him head.

When I was in 9th grade I was on the basketball team and we had to go to Bismarck again for a tournament. Almost everyone stayed at teh same hotel except me, because I stayed at the same one my family did. One of the cheerleaders, a daughter of the vice-principal, was giving head to one of my teammates at the other hotel. The only reason I found out about it is because the coach did.

This was 1989-1991.

In my sophomore year in high school in Maryland on guy brought porno tapes to watch while we were in a study room before basketball practice. Also that year, the girls that were team managers and that taped our ankles would do so with no bras on so you could see everything as they bent over to tape, and they rubbed their breasts over our legs when they did it.

That was 1992-93.

If people don't think kids are interested in sex they are either naive, stupid or both.

Again, she produced and distributed illegal material. It would be the same as her growing and distributing pot. Also again, having premarital sex, resulting in a baby or not, is not the same thing as the production and distribution of this illegal material so your "negative life consequences" argument is irrelevant.

So, ultimately, your position is that is a child wants to produce suggestive pictures of herself and distribute them without regard of where they end up, everything should be just "peachy as far as the law is concerned?"

I don't think anybody is surprised that kids are interested in sex. I agree with you that if they don't know this, then they are naive or stupid.

I think what many people are surprised at (including myself) is that kids these days are so naive and irresponsible to be doing these kinds of things, urges or not. It's one thing to want attention or be anxious about sexual situations. It's another to take naked pictures of yourself or give head on a bus. It's the lack of thought or discretion that's prevalent that has me baffled.

It doesn't surprise me. Kids (and adults) do stupid crap all the time, it's just when it involves sex people get worked up about it.

A lot of it has to do with the fact that individualism is the most valued thing to most americans, and that starts at an early age. Most other countries, even other industrialized ones, don't place as high a value in individualism as we americans do. Some take that individualism and use it responsibly and some don't. That's the double-edged sword of individualism.

My opinion is that the response should match the offending action. You don't swat house flies with nuclear weapons.

Why do we have to get federal prosecutors involved when a little parenting and HS counselor guidance can clear this right up? If this kid was my relative I'd want the matter to be treated fairly and discretely - not making the papers as a criminal case against a sexual deviant.

You make this kid sound like a teenage Larry Flint, but I just don't see the evidence to support this position.
 
Pics of the girl (with her clothes on):

i wish girls would've texted me photos of themselves back when i was in highschool. this cell phone incident isn't shit compared to the 10,000,000 teenage attention whores on myspace. there are enough 15 year old sideboobs/cleveage on myspace to put the whole country in jail.
 
fucking crazy Puritan values in this country make these things into huge issues. Deny them information about sex until they're, what, 16? And even then, it's taught to them begrudgingly. Then, everyone is surprised when some stupid slut gets herself knocked up or some kid is caught beating it while peeping into the girls locker room. Seriously? Do we honestly think that sexuality starts at the mid point of puberty?

I started spanking it when I was fucking 12 years old.
 
I would be interested to hear what the CAG community would think if it was a male who sent it to a bunch of females.
 
I'm glad she was charged

She's underage. She's sending out underage nude photos. This was willingly - she more than likely wasn't forced to send those out!

Seems simple to me! What's the difference between the 30ish year old creep who would want to view it and the 15 year slut who wants everyone to see it????

And I feel if the people REQUESTED the photo(s), they should be charged too! Child porn laws are there for a reason. Next thing you know those photos would get posted on some myspace account with creeps viewing it and tracking this girl down!

Convict her, make her pick up trash or serve food at a shelter, and do the same to anyone willingly wanting to view the photos (those who just had it sent ot them randomly should get off free....because they had no idea of it)

It might not have made AP/Reuters newswires...

Indecent exposure or the same offences the girl might be charged with, who knows?
 
Here the links to the story(ies) from the Newark Advocate, the local paper where the incident took place and the first newspaper to break the story - it was picked up by the AP wire last night.

As you may very well tell, this is a major story here in Newark (the incident actually too place in Hebron, which is about 10 minutes east and much more than you likely wanted or needed to know.) Pay particular attention to the comments from local readers and revel in the insanity and inanity that is my hometown.
 
I hate stories like this. It's a sensitive topic so the theocratic bullies see the green light to beat up on a naive young girl without fear of reprisal from legislative authorities, knowing that the issue is pure political poison.
