Girl Charged With Child Porn for Posting Nude Pics of Self

The girl posted nude photos of herself on a MySpace profile, police said.

The social networking world is rife with sexual exploitation of young children, but it rarely happens that the exploiters are the children themselves.

A 14-year-old girl was arrested Tuesday for allegedly posting nearly 30 naked photos of herself on MySpace, according to NorthJersey.com.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children tipped off police that someone was posting naked pictures of a teen on a MySpace profile.

As it turns out, the culprit was the teen herself.

Authorities investigated the case for a month before zeroing in on the suspect, who said she posted the pictures for her boyfriend’s pleasure. Anyone who was online “friends” with the girl through the site or knew her name could see the pictures.

The teen was charged with one count each of possession and distribution of child pornography. Police remanded her into her mother’s custody.

A sheriff’s department spokesman told NorthJersey.com that more arrests in the case are possible.

It could get crazier under law. Since she's a minor, her parents could be charged for letting her do this--despite not having a clue that it happened.

This isn't the first time this has happened. I was reading recently about a teen-aged girl who took a nude photo of herself and sent it to her boyfriend. They were both charged for possession. Talk about unintended consequences under the law.

For some odd reason the zaniness of this reminds me of the scene in Blazing Saddles where the guy is holding himself hostage to get away from the bad guys?

The intelligence level is similar on both sides

Soon, minors will not be allowed to look at themselves in the mirror naked. Underage masturbation will be prosecuted as child molestation.

Actually, the root of the problem begins far before that. I blush to mention it, but children are, gulp, being born naked. With that kind of begining, you can see that only trouble can result.
