Campers' Faces On Women's Bodies Not Child Porn, Court Rules
1-18-2008 New Hampshire:
CONCORD, N.H. -- New Hampshire's Supreme Court has overturned the conviction of a camp photographer, ruling that sexual photos that combined faces of young campers with women's bodies were not child pornography.
Marshal Zidel, 61, of Somerville, Mass., was sentenced in June 2006 to up to seven years in prison after being convicted of child pornography charges at Camp Young Judea in Amherst. He was the camp photographer.
Authorities said Zidel used photos of campers and superimposed the heads and faces on pornographic photos.
The court ruled the pictures do not violate child pornography laws, partly because they did not involve sexual acts by actual children and partly because they were not deliberately distributed.
Zidel has been free on bail pending the outcome of the appeal. ..more.. by WSFB.com
