An unidentified 16-year-old girl in James City County, Va. has been charged with distribution of child pornography for allegedly taking pictures of herself — selfies — and posting them on Twitter.

Originally, a school resource officer was told by an unidentified source about the nude pictures. Police then confiscated the teen’s cell phone and arrested her.

More sex panic idiocy. New day, same shit.

What if I seen it and saved it, not knowing she is under age? Then some day when the government descends on my computer, I get hemmed up on KP charges? Fuck that. “I didn’t know she was under age” isn’t a valid defense and “I’m a stupid bimbo” shouldn’t be one either.
This a different response then the Traci Lords situation. Traci was not charged with distributing
child pornography even though she lied about her age and knew what she was doing was against the law.
