Teen girl charged with posting nude photos on Internet

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A 15-year-old girl has been arrested for taking nude photographs of her self and posting them on the Internet, police said.

The girl, whose identity was withheld, was accused of sending out photographs of herself in various states of undress and performing a variety of sexual acts. She sent them to people she met in chat rooms on the Internet, police said.

Police seized her computer and found dozens of photographs stored on the hard drive. Authorities did not say how police learned about the girl.

She has been charged with sexual abuse of children, possession of child pornography and dissemination of child pornography.

So basically a minor has been charged with sexually abusing herself (wonder what was in those pictures!) and disseminating pictures she was in.

WTF people?

    This is just another way for law enforcement agencies and the government to make money.

    And in this case, the police were probably equally wrong. How can you:

    1. Be charged with sexual abuse of children, when she is one herself.
    2. Be charged with child pornography of herself, unless there was others.
    3. Dessemination of child pornography…. I am with you, WTF PEOPLE!

    So every teenager that masturbates is sexually abusing him/herself now? I mean, essentially, that’s what is being implied.
