Check Out This Idiot

Teen Alex Phillips puts girlfriend's nude shots on MySpace: Child Porn?

I definitely believe the charges on the guy should stand. Hopefully he spends his sixteen years productively doing something positive to turn his life around. We know his English skills need improvement.

The article questions if the girl should also be charged as well. I don't know. If you take a nude photo of yourself, and you're under 18, then distribute it to someone who is also under 18, should you be charged with child pornography? Even if that person would be considered your legal lover?

I'm wondering if the courts should consider a new branch of law to cover adolescents, since what they consider a "child" and what they consider an "adult" seem to be a grey area depending on the crime.
