However, I agree he was very close to adulthood. Depending on the area that decision could go either way.

As I understand it, it’s not the taking of the photo that was illegal. Or rather, shouldn’t have been. Nude is not necessarily pornographic. It appears that what was illegal was posting/publishing a photo of a minor without getting a consent signed. (and anyone under 18 the waiver needs to be signed by a legal custodian, her parent).

It looks like you need to learn your own “stuff”. He was 17 when he did what he was charged with.

“In late August, Rich pleaded no contest to child abuse charges…. He was 17 when he posted the photo of his then 15-year-old girlfriend on the social networking Web site.”

I’m sure you can find this in any number of places but the particular quote above is at The Bradenton Herald online

Well, to correct this.. let me tell you the boy was in fact 19 when it happened if you had any brain or credibility. Did you ever think that.. HELLO it was on a friday night with drunken rampage.. no one was on myspace except the freaks. And they were the ones that saw the picture.. no one had access to it.. and did you notice that he made 600 flyers and passed them out to a local party of everyone in the high school. Note:he had already graduated and she hadnt. Thank you and learn your shit

What if he’d posted it to a site for pedophiliacs who love underage girls?

She was 15. If I’m not mistaken, he could have been charged with the production and distribution of child pornography.

And when it comes to your contention that his being under 18 somehow mitigates this… Since when is 17 too young to know right from wrong. We’re living in a society where teenagers are increasingly being tried as adults because they’re increasingly committing adult crimes.

And your contention that “she had the full ability to remove it”. Sure, but what if someone had the ability to copy it and redistribute it before she could exercise that ability? What if that someone then posted it to a kiddie porn site?

Once he published that photo, this boy set in motion a variety of possible consequences that could have messed up this girl’s life for a long, long time.

So, I ask you to reconsider if a potential 30 day sentence is too harsh for a callous and potentially heinous act committed by someone only a few months from legal adulthood?
