Re: Friend busted for child porn, wtf?
[ QUOTE ]
What constitutes child porn, by the way? Say an 18 year-old is dating a 17 year-old, and she sends him some racy photos of herself naked. Because he now possesses naked pics of a minor, is he engaging in child pornography? If he takes the pictures of her, is that kiddie porn? But he could be like 5 months older than her... I dunno, maybe it's 13 or younger?

Well, in Louisiana, 17 is legal.
Plus, there's a qualifier - they have to be erotic in nature. I believe just naked pictures aren't covered. So, like, pictures of a 6 year old girl in the bath tub aren't considered pornography.

It is forbidden to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with the intent to distribute, a visual depiction of any kind, including a drawing, cartoon, sculpture, or painting, that
* depicts a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct and is obscene, or
* depicts an image that is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in graphic bestiality, sadistic or masochistic abuse, or sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex, and such depiction lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

This is likely hardcore stuff.
