Better hope you don’t pull jury duty that week or you too will be guilty of viewing underage porn.
“pull” jury duty?
I wonder if there is anyway that we as mere citizens could help this boy? Does anybody know if any means of help are available to those of us who find this disgusting. I hope all this needless torment doesn’t drive the kid to self destruction.

So, it sounds like the girl’s mother objected, which maybe could be why they are charging the boy only?
If that is the case, I must say I admire his ability to not retaliate with a public “she started it” (which of course would just ruin both of their lives).
I don’t think it really has anything to do with “decency.” The fear and embarrassment a 15 year old girl would feel in a situation like this would probably be paralyzing.
I actually have been a 15 year old girl.
At that age, I really wouldn’t have been worried about the public fear and embarrassment — my guess is she’s just afraid of her mom (who probably privately has prosecuted her).

So are you saying nothing worse could be said about the prosecutor?..that being gay ought to condemn him? His desire to debase and molest this 17 year old boy doesn’t equate to being. Perverted, disgusting, vile perhaps but not gay.

it was a bit off-color, but the idea was to sabotage the ‘cred’ he would ostensibly gain.
i say ostensibly because it’s hard for me to imagine even the most ignorant bible-thumper being impressed by this atrocity. i would think the prosecutor is doing it out of pure mania. maybe i’m being too optimistic.
it would be better to play the pedo angle, though. more PC and, imho, would be more effective anyway.
Naw, I’d refuse to look at it. The judge might cite me for contempt but he’d be arrested within a few days for viewing it anyway so I’d be vindicated.
Cops and prosecutors are always consistent and demand speedy justice, right?

In the perspective of this crowd, and you and me, yes, you are right.
In the perspective of the people who elected him into the office, the other charge may take higher weight against him, true or not. As sad as it is, prejudices of the target group can be (and are) used as a political weapon, and in this case I would make an exception and go for it.

Yes, a medical practitioner can refuse refuse to provide treatment in a situation that is not an emergency. And should in this case — it’s not even a treatment; not for the benefit of the “patient”; not without potential side effects; and lacks proper informed consent.

Sick Americans probably will widely support this just as they apparently widely support prison rape as part of the correctional process. For the rest of us though, our heads are exploding to hear about pretty much real rape to investigate some kid self taking dick picks. Something close to real-raping a kid or potentially destroying his reproductive organ for the sake of the poor boy who was photographed by this horrible child pornographer.
With the outrage seen here over inducing an erection though we should reconsider the wide acceptance of cavity searches for women and girls perhaps returning the rapey connotations that perhaps it is going too far to stop some pot, same thing for cavity searches of men and boys. I feel that a cavity search is a power move on most occasions which could safely be done by x-ray and a warrant if so desperately needed.

Plus speaking up could provoke the DA into going after her as well, since she took similar pictures of herself.

I’m thinking of the officer in training, who had absolutely no imaginable clue as to what “compel physical evidence” meant out on the streets. They are courageous espescially for confronting the unknown unknowns.
As an American, I was equally vocal on the recent thread about the “Black ASU prof beaten by campus cops without provocation, charged with assault” as I was on this thread. I don’t take it lightly when police overstep their boundaries.
I equally don’t appreciate people resting on claims of police brutality as a way to excuse their own poor behavior. I have and will speak out on that as well. Making false claims makes it harder for those with genuine claims to be heard.
This, the potential of silencing opposition through intimidation, is what happens when police and prosecution who in most juristictions have a culture of acting in bad faith when trquired to “get the job done” get the benifit of the courts defaulting to and having public pressure to continue to assume good faith in the face of overwhelming evidence.
We have raised over a hundred years of weak lawyers who become weak judges, where are the activist judges and lawyers for absloute civil rights? Perhaps they can’t get elected because of an electorate who prefers rights stomping tyrants?
FWIW I think many Europeans have the same weak minded attachment to handing over power as Americans, most Asians seem to never have considered an alternative, and Africans, except the 1%ers, are too oppressed by capitolists to get to the rights part of Maslow’s pyramid.

I didn’t mean to imply that all 15 year old girls (and boys, for that matter) would be paralyzed by fear and embarrassment, only that it would be a perfectly normal reaction. (I would have curled up in a ball in my bedroom in a catatonic state!) But, yeah, calling the cops doesn’t reflect well on this girl’s mother.

I think you really misread davide405’s post.
The “question posed from ignorance” is his own question he poses in the next sentence.
No one’s attacking anyone in this thread.
