Child pornography exploiting child what the fuck seriously what the fuck?

This is without a doubt one of the more stupid lawsuits i,´ve ever seen. NO kids where harmed in the production all he did was editing it in if that,´s the chase then every john and Jane doe out there posting pictures of their or other peoples kids on youtube to a song should also be put on trial.

I assume this is in one of the American counties where prosecutors have to get elected?

Does anyone have the original video or a mirror of it?

They maybe right in charging him because although no kids were involved in sexual acts, it seems he edited a video and made it look like he's singing a sexual song to kindergarten pupils. In the end, it's a question of morality. The video could be seen as condoning the immoral use of sexual songs in a room full of kids.

Nice. This ought to teach stupid people to stop doing stupid things in a stupid way, and may be, they won't end up in a stupid situation. ;)

Wtf is this? Editing a video is a 20-year felony? Where is this, Saudi Arabia?

Well then, surely Monty Python deserve the death penalty. After all, they actually made children sing a sexual song:



This guy should get John Cleese as his lawyer.

Load of crap, this guy hasn't done anything wrong - certainly nothing like pedophilia.

The only issue I see is parental permission for the kids in the video, but the worst that would come to is taking down the video.

Does anyone know the metric or standard applicable in this case? I'm not familiar with the law at bar, maybe, if you can link the provision, we can talk about it. Of course, such discussion is only academic and shouldn't be used in a legal issue, and only as a matter of opinion.

The law in question:
750.462g Use of minor for child sexually abusive activity; prohibition; violation as felony; penalty.

Sec. 462g.

A person shall not knowingly recruit, entice, harbor, transport, provide, or obtain by any means, or attempt to recruit, entice, harbor, provide, or obtain by any means, a minor knowing that the minor will be used for child sexually abusive activity. A person who violates this section is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 20 years.

The only one I can find that applies is "passive sexual involvement", which seems pretty vague when set beside all the rest.
