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.

Can happen in any country that bans child porn. More outrageous cases already happened in Britain, there are people getting arrested because of naked family photos. Samekind of thing has been known to happen in America too, because some states have very tight CP laws.

I love how they say because the GIRL is 16 it's child porn.
So what if it was two dudes? Just sick and wrong? I guess all those boys under 18 dont count as kiddies.

Makes me miss /dis/, pointless censorship. There was nothing against rules in those threads.
This is not freedom. The age should be 14 because teens are more likely to take pictures of themselves, and teens are more aware of what they are doing. After 13 it's ephebophilia.

Since he was only a year older than she was, I say slap on the wrist and stern warning. He's a minor himself after-all.

The dude was 17 she was 16. He's not a pedo. If he were 40 and she were 12, then I'd be right there with you.
They should make him screw 16 year old girls till he can't take anymore. He'll get sick whenever he thinks of one sexually after that and the kids shall be saved.
I do too, should there be a program where people who think that they might be straight pedos get to come in every week for this treatment as a means of prevention?

This is bullshit, Greg Haidl got off for crimes worse than this, just because his dad was rich and had connections.

I, and it seems like most of the other people here, misread the first post.
The guy took a picture of two teens having sex (neither of them him) and posted them without permission. What they're trying to get him for is manufacturing and distributing child pornography.
After reading an actual acticle on it, it makes sense.

That makes sense, but I thought people can take pictures of each other.
