"I'm also amazed at how she's being tried as a pedophile when she obviously isn't."
CP is a strict liability crime; there are no differing "reasons," a download is a download is a download. Sure, they come with built-in rationalizations about monkey-see/monkey-do causality and about incentivizing a market for the Pedo viewer. But due to the fact that the charge sticks to all, so then must the reasoning. The only ones with a "get out of jail free card" are the duly deputized agents of the Law carrying out their duties as strictly defined under the law; no independent unauthorized "investigations" allowed. But if you're prosecuting it, then suddenly all the things that viewing CP does do not apply. ( Despite that those who were recorded against their will appear no less embarrassed to be exposed to 12 jurors than 12 classmates. Go figure? Someone should tell them how the law works. ) Dante |
