"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

Sexual abuse of children? Was she sending them to other children? If not, then that charge won't hold. The others should.

 

Otherwise, sounds appropriate, assuming Pittsburgh has no other laws that are more specific to this situation.

It was March of 2004, I wonder if I can find a follow up.

Well, you could argue that the law cannot afford the precedent of permitting it in cases f self publicisation. Because then abusers could just twist their victims into doing stuff to themselves. But more probably the letter of the law states that publishing underage photos is an offence, and US cops being what they are they have to follow the letter of the law. *smug intent-based saxon law type Britisher*

Individual constitutional protections are not age dependent; the Supreme Court has noted, "constitutional rights do not mature and come into being magically only when one attains the state-defined age of majority." Planned Parenthood of Cent. Mo. v. Danforth, 428 U.S. 52, 74 (1976).

 

A legislature is without authority to disable personal constitutional rights by age; relevant examples include: a minor may purchase and receive contraceptive materials for personal use irrespective of age; see Carey v Population Services Int
