Police Say 15-Year-Old Girl Who Saw Herself In Lewd Photo Guilty Of Child Porn Offence
THE San Bernardino Sun – awesome tagline: “San Bernadino & The Inland Empire” – reports that the local Sheriff’s Department is impounding all copies of the Big Bear High School’s 2011 yearbook. You see, one of the photos could be interpreted as child pornography.
One photo “appears to show a 17-year-old boy with his hand inside the clothing of a 15-year-old girl“.
Says sheriff’s spokeswoman Cindy Bachman.
“A lieutenant said the photo printed in the yearbook was taken at a dance. The (couple) are in the background of the photo and are not the intended focus of the photo. When the photos were scanned and proofed by an adviser, they must have missed the photo.”
It’s all very adolescent. And then the adults got to making threats. Says the Sheriff’s Department:
“At this time, anyone possessing the photograph should be on notice to turn in the photographs to school staff or the Sheriff’s Department or risk potential criminal charges involving possession of child pornography.”
Because the 15-year-old might see a photo of herself and thus break the law, right?
Oh, brave new world…
