The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania has filed a lawsuit against the Wyoming County district attorney for threatening three high school girls with child pornography charges over digital photos in which they appear topless or in their underwear. The district attorney has demanded that in order to avoid the charges, the girls be placed on probation, participate in a five-week re-education program and be subject to random drug testing. The photos were among several discovered by Tunkhannock School District officials on students' cell phones.
At issue in this case are two photos depicting three teenage girls. One shows Marissa Miller and Grace Kelly from the waist up wearing white bras. The other depicts Nancy Doe (a pseudonym used to protect the girl's real identity) standing outside a shower with a bath towel wrapped around her body beneath her breasts. Neither of the two photos depicts sexual activity or reveals anything below the waist.
The district attorney has asserted that the girls were accomplices to the production of child pornography because they allowed themselves to be photographed. The district attorney has not, however, threatened to charge the individuals who distributed the photos.
Pretty amazing.. destroying reputations.. lives.. because of pictures of a human body. It's just silly.. stupid.. and simply evidence of a perverse sexual repression going on in this country.
I'm not sure how that's ever going to change. Parents are paranoid about their kids.. and do not want the kids doing anything they did growing up. So.. legislate it all. Get law enforcement involved.. attorneys.. judges.. spend all that tax money.
It's really unbelievable how stupid most people are.
