ALLEGAN, Mich. -- A Michigan high school student faces child pornography charges over an Internet party prank.
Prosecutors charge Ryan Zylstra, 17, posted a picture of two teens having sex on his blog. The photo was taken at a New Year's Eve party at Zylstra's home.
Authorities said the boy in the picture is 17, while the girl is 16. According to prosecutors, the age of the girl makes the sexually explicit picture child pornography under the law.
Zylstra now faces up to 2,300 years in prison if convicted of the most serious charges, which are felonies.
Tuesday, Zylstra was in court and waived a preliminary hearing. The decision means his case will be bound over for trial in Allegan County Circuit Court.
No trial date has been set.
