Forums Forums General Forums A - Z Lifestyle An interesting thought

Look Zipper I'm not arguing with anybody about what breaks the law or what is moral or immoral , all I am trying to point out to everyone is that what you or anyone else may see as a bit of harmless nosing about on the net or a casual joke (i.e cartoon pictures of Bart Simpson acting in a sexual manner, remembering that Bart is a minor) leave you, the person opening the file on your computer (i.e. making an image) liable to prosecution and this (INCLUDING the picture you posted that you forwarded from E-Bay if it showed an older woman dressed as a minor acting in a sexual manner) WOULD be seen in the eyes of the law as illegal. As I said before I don’t know the exact wording BUT dressing a 40 year old woman up to look like a school girl then posing that 40 year old woman in a sexual pose is classed as ‘Depicting a child in a sexual manner’ and would be classed as an offence that would put the offender on the sexual register. Like it or lump THAT’S the law and I’m just trying to make people aware of this, as many people are NOT aware that they often break the law even when recieving a joke e-mail off a mate.

So this item for sale is illegal because it shows an older woman pretending to be a schoolgirl?

Which schools have you seen that have a uniform like that!!!!!!!!!!
Point taken though.Thats why the whole thing is such a difficult issue to control isnt it.

"Pornography is the portrayal of a sexual subject matter for the purposes of sexual excitement and erotic satisfaction." (not my quote by the way just one legal definition). For a picture to be considered porn, the intent has to be sexual. A picture of an adult can be considered porn if they are positioned in a sexually suggestive way (the Judge would decide) and if that adult is dressed as a child or depicts a child then it becomes ‘Child pornography’ It's somewhat technical and I can only relay it in layman’s terms but that’s how the law stands. But this helps a little:
“child pornography” means any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, picture, or computer or computer-generated image or picture, whether made or produced by electronic, mechanical, or other means, of sexually explicit conduct, where—
(A) the production of such visual depiction involves the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct;
(B) such visual depiction is a digital image, computer image, or computer-generated image that is, or is indistinguishable from, that of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct; or
(C) such visual depiction has been created, adapted, or modified to appear that an identifiable minor is engaging in sexually explicit conduct.

I’ll leave all of you to make your own minds up on this one as I’m running out of ways to say the same thing and I’m sure most of you have lost interest by now and dropped off to sleep!
