huh. Now that i was unaware of, thanks.

EDIT: actually helps me quite a bit, because of this paper i have written for work where i (apparently) incorrectly attested to the illegality of these materials in the United States

but then why did this guy get arrested?

you're naive

Oh, I was prepared to write something long but then this turns out to be in Australia. Didn't they ban porn with small-breasted women there, on account that they might look underage?

Nope, it's Idaho.

My bad then, the article makes it sound Australian.

Weird to plead guilty then, though did it really turn out that he had actual child porn as someone mentioned earlier in the thread? The virtual one shouldn't be a problem, though also no idea really how far states can adjust such laws to their liking...

Start on the Factual Basis portion of the agreement.  It looks like he was found as part of a kiddy-porn sting in Germany; he was using a P2P network to share a known kiddy-porn file.  My guess is that there were still files on his computer that were "borderline" child porn (i.e. people who may or may not have been under 18 at the time), and that in exchange for copping to this charge he got a lighter sentence than he might have otherwise.   It's certainly important that he was NOT charged with receiving obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children, and that the state waived the five-year minimum sentence in his case.

Read most of it, and frankly it seems a sentence with pretty hard restrictions. Maybe the images of hard to determine aged girls and child erotica suffice, but the two sentences dedicated to them are ridiculous compared to the detailed descriptions of the Simpsons kids, which while disturbing from a majority's point of view, aren't illegal.

Hopefully the evidence of him actually having possessed child porn and his own knowledge of the matter lead to him pleading guilty rather than intimidation of attempts to make full-fledged children out of completely unrealistic yellow cartoons.

Probably the most problematic point for me is him having been a middle school teacher, and I'm not even a parent.

cumming for you?

I better check the ID of my next hentai flick then...Oh wait, I live in the country where you get to see naked underage girls in children's programs.

Ahh Sweden. Is there anything you guys don't do right?
