Teen girl charged with posting nude photos on Internet

Wonderful, a new sex offender with THREE charges, as such on a public registry will look like a recidivist. Is this prosecutor out of his mind? Charging her with "Possession of CP" for having in her possession, a self portrait? I would love to know WHERE the self portrait was kept? If in her own bedroom, or on her computer, where no one else goes, are such portraits illegal? Are minors viewing child porn when seeing themselves naked in the bathroom? Prosecutors need limits, and this one needs to have those limits reigned in!
1-7-2011 Colorado:

PITTSBURGH (AP) - A 15-year-old girl has been arrested for taking nude photographs of her self and posting them on the Internet, police said.

The girl, whose identity was withheld, was accused of sending out photographs of herself in various states of undress and performing a variety of sexual acts. She sent them to people she met in chat rooms on the Internet, police said.

Police seized her computer and found dozens of photographs stored on the hard drive. Authorities did not say how police learned about the girl.

She has been charged with sexual abuse of children (PLURAL), possession of child pornography and dissemination of child pornography. ..Source.. by 9News.com

Hmmmmm....so, what if an underage person masturbates (essentially has sex with oneself)? Is this person guilty of statutory rape or child molestation - for touching oneself???
If so, then lock up just about every person in the world and put all of their names on the sex offender list!!!

Prosecutors have no accountability. None. They have become de facto judges and nobody seems to be able to stop them.

The police more than likely found out by IP tracking, and as you know there are people scouring the web for child porn, they see and maybe watch more porn than anyone I know. Secondly posting on the Internet took the pictures into the public domain where others including other minors could see them, so that is the rub or the nexus to the charges.

To George - if the act is in some way made public, then yes those would be some of the charges maybe. Where the police come involved typically but not always is when the activity reaches into the public domain.

Prosecutors, the DA office have an extreme amount of state power. They can do darn near anything, and as I found out even make false records, difficult to prove they did it. If you Google Prosecutors let's say "prosecutors false records" you will see the types of things they do. They are just as bad as we see them in TV shows and movies.
