Poll of the Day > 16 y/o Girl who gave ORAL SEX to her BF on VIDEO had her Conviction UPHELD!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

A 16 y/o Maryland Girl who recorded giving ORAL SEX to her BOYFRIEND in a video had her conviction of child pornography UPHELD by the highest court after she shared that video to her friends!!

They voted 6-1 at the Court of Special Appeals after the 1 minute video of herself was shared around as Judge Joseph M. Getty asked "Can a minor legally engaged in a consensual sexual activity be his or her own pornographer through the act of sexting?"

The decision found that lawmakers had not included exceptions in the law for consensual sex or for self produced child porn finding that the law applies to the child when they are both the subject and sender of the sexually explicit material

The court also wrote in their 35 opinion that they sought a potential change to the law

They acknowledged that there are reasons for treating teen sexting differently than child porn

Judge Michele D. Hotten, the lone dissenter, advocated the the law was there to "protect children form exploitation and abuse" adding it shouldn't criminalize consensual sex acts between minors

She said that the teen wasn't exploited by anyone and did not seek to subject to minors who recorded themselves in non exploitative sexual encounters to prosecution

The 16 y/o made a 3 person text with her 2 best friends back in 2016 (she is now 19) and a 16 y/o girl and 17 y/o boy were in that conversation.

They attended Maurice J. McDonough and the chat was expected to be private but the group is said to have "fell off as friends" a few months later

Those 2 had ultimately shared a copy of that video to the school resource officer and that officer was from the Charles county Sheriff's Office

The girl who performed the sex act on her bf was the only one charged and was sent to juvenile court where she didn't have mandatory sentence and didn't have to register as a sex offender but rather on probation, electronic monitoring and undergo weekly drug testing.

Pritzlaff said overturning the conviction would disregard the legislature's interest in protecting minors and stopping child porn

Do you think what she did should be considered child porn?

Pritzlaff - Voted In Against overturning



Hotten - Lone dissenter who voted in overturning

16 -17 is not a child so no.

The whole thing is absurd, but I suppose it's hardly the only time that the victim and the defendant are the same person. (Unless her boyfriend was also underage.)

...doesn't sound like she got much of a punishment anyway.

he looks like a creepy guy, ok?

Yes. Because of the seriousness of the crime, it needs to be well defined and in this day and age, where almost every kid has a camera on them at all time and no device being absolutely secure, sometimes examples need to be made to get such points across.

Then make examples out of real criminals. She did nothing wrong. At least, it doesnt sound like she did anything bad... The only bad thing was sharing with her friends. But that depends on if the BF was ok with it...

So do most adults. Besides these are teens that are over the age of sexual consent in Maryland so I really don't see the issue.

I was wondering when this was gonna happen. So many underage people record themselves and then it gets spread. I wonder how this will all pan out.
This could get blurry when it comes to black mailing but it looks self motivated.

I think it is child pornography. However, if they are posting their own video they shouldn't be charged the same as someone who is posting underaged videos of someone else.

Thats bullshit, if this keeps happening then there will serious problems.

That girl must be mad as fuck at her "friends" for showing the school officer the video, WHY?
Also mad at the US government for punishing the now nineteen year old girl.

You do not see an issue with a loophole allowing child porn, when it is the child in question making the material and spreading it?

Teens are not children. 16+ is legal. So no.
If she was legit diddling children and doing this you would have a point.

did you just find out about it or something?

Depends on the local laws, hence the hard limit on 18 on porn.
---

18 for porn is because they are adults at 18.
Teens can fuck legally at 16. Doesn't matter if they record it or not to me and in this case she's not uploading it to the net for all to see anyway. It's not child porn too as they are teens and they are legal. Again I see no issue with this. You're not presenting any reason why I should.

We need to stop infantilizing our youth.

I would consider it sexting. But the problem is the law involving sexting...
