Default Child Porn Court Case

I wanted to bring this to the board’s attention and get reaction to this court case. The court case is Williams v U.S. It is in the U.S. Supreme Court. The article I read can be found at lawyersusaonline.com.

Mr. Williams, the defendant, plead guilty to offering pictures of himself and his toddler daughter in sexual acts on-line. He reserved the right to appeal. In his appeal he argued that the statute was so broad that it could include images that might not depict actual children or might otherwise not be obscene. Mainstream movies such as "Traffic," "Lolita," and "American Beauty" were used as examples of movies that might be caught in federal prosecution. The law in question is the Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today Act 18 U.S.C. 2252.9(a)(3)(B). The law provides that it is a criminal offense for anyone to "advertise, promote, present, distribute, or solicit . . . material in a manner that reflects the belief, or that is intended to cause another to believe, that the material or purported material is, or contains an obscene visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct; or a visual depiction of an actual minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct."

My take on this is that, unfortunately, the defendant, while a scum bag, has it right. The law is overbroad and federal prosecutors could use this law to bring criminal charges against any one who produces a depiction of young love, say Romeo and Juliet, let alone any website that promotes teens engaged in sexual intercourse. I think that the court will invalidate that act. What do you all think?

I think the law of "common sense" should prevail here that this sicko should be hung out to dry.

This is one of those topics where one side such as Hollywood can get away with producing underaged kids getting raped etc. with the blessing of the courts - hell - we even talk about Academy Awards when this happens.

Then - there are a few sick f*cks who take pictures of kids and rather than focus on them, the entire industry is branded as child molesters. Even to this day some of my extended family have problems allowing their kids near me since I work in the adult industry, therefore I am going to solicit their children for porn.

Motive - intent? There is a fine line between the constitution and freedom of expression. We all know the ethics/morals of what is right and wrong in abusing children - yet we are more careful to protect the rights of those who will ultimately affect a child's future than the children themselves.

I did not tell the whole story. The defendant is still in jail and will be whether or not this conviction is reversed. He also pled guilty to another crime and got 60 months on it. The defendant has many more nights in jail which I am sure we want to be filled with anal rape.
