The "Celebrity Nude Leak" Potentially Had Child Porn

[Ape]

Lawyers are saying that McKayla Maroney was underage in her pics. That would make the content distributed child pornography.

I wonder how the FBI will go after this. Will they take the IPs of everyone that visited the web page or just the person who hacked the pics like they are already doing. I'll just grab my popcorn and watch how this plays out.

 

[Delta Assault]

Um. Hopefully they follow the spirit of the law and not the letter.

Cause otherwise, that's a lot of people going to jail.

They need more evidence than IP's and more so to push it out to anyone outside of the US.

I only looked at the Kate Upton ones...

No.

95% of GAF going to jail. Lmao

Whoever leaked this is going to get a lot of years in prison.

 

[SamVimes]

How old was she? If she was 17 calling it child porn is fucking insane.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Shouldn't she be arrested for possession and distribution of indecent images of a child or is that a UK only thing?

 

[Pandaman]

95% of GAF going to jail. Lmao

plus 650,000 redditors because i'm sure there's been a 17 year old on gonewild once or twice.

some people act like they're going to get their door kicked in over their web cache.

 

[Delta Assault]

Well, I don't think possession is a crime when you're the one possessing your own pictures. And it's not really distribution because she never chose to distribute the pictures, they were stolen and leaked without her permission.

Heyyyooooo. We've got a live one here.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Everything has been plastered all over twitter, you really didn't have to search any of it out. Plenty of unsuspecting people witnessed things that they didn't consent to witnessing. It's such a massive clusterfuck, if they want to start throwing people in jail for seeing the photos they're going to have to start building prisons on the moon to fit everyone in.

Quick, someone call Alex Jones with that one. Secret moon prisons.

 

[Rivitur]

You shall be our sacrifice to the FBI to keep em off our back.

 

[SamVimes]

Uhm, you think 17 is a child?

 

[Broder Salsa]

Will they take the IPs of everyone that visited the web page

Yes certainly. Just need to get those new prisons done first.

I heard there was a specific popular porno video back in the day of a hot porn actress, and then it was revealed that she was underage when it was shot. It became illegal to view the video, but anybody who had already viewed it was okay. Seems like how it should be in this situation, regardless of how similar her body is in the photos compared to her currently legal body.

Spoiler

(I haven't seen the photos.)

I do feel for the women who had their photos leaked. I had a nude correspondence with a girl once, and some of her hot GIFs made it onto a porno site. Apparently some other guy she was sharing them with had no sense of honor and just put them out there. Sure, she might have been a little more careful in who she trusted, but it's really the fault of the person spreading the pics, even more so if they weren't shared the pictures to begin with.

 

[lupinko]

Uhm, you think 17 is a child?

Uh yes?

 

[Couleurs]

Uhm, you think 17 is a child?

According to federal law, yes

http://www.justice.gov/criminal/ceos/citizensguide/citizensguide_porn.html

Images of child pornography are not protected under First Amendment rights, and are illegal contraband under federal law. Section 2256 of Title 18, United States Code, defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor (someone under 18 years of age).

 

[Cuyejo]

Wouldn't she be in problems too?, she produced the material after all...

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Well, I don't think possession is a crime when you're the one possessing your own pictures. And it's not really distribution because she never chose to distribute the pictures, they were stolen and leaked without her permission.

There have been a number of cases where boys and girls have been arrested for self nudes that were either posted to the net or sent privately and discovered later.

 

[SamVimes]

Uh yes?

17 year olds are fucking, smoking and drinking. That doesn't make them intellectually mature but they're sure as shit not children.

According to federal law, yes

http://www.justice.gov/criminal/ceos/citizensguide/citizensguide_porn.html

I'm not saying it's ok, i'm saying labelling someone that age child is gross.

 

[Pankratous]

Heyyyooooo. We've got a live one here.

17 is legal in the UK. I'd absolutely destroy most 17 year olds, if I was single and looking.

Next E3 the servers will hold up like a charm.

 

[Chariot]

Looks like the States have to rebuild Florida into an open air jail to get all these pedos to justice.

Please tell me that you're not over 20 years old.

Well then.

We're not going to top this post guys, might as well close down.

 

[KissVibes]

So, is McKayla Maroney in trouble too? I'm not saying she should be; typically teens get in trouble when they send explicit images of themselves to people.

 

[LyleLanley]

I'm not sure that fucking, smoking and drinking is a definite sign that someone is an adult.

Well... That sure is something. Out of curiosity, how old are you?

 

[nomis]

I do not condone nor have I ever personally viewed a sexually explicit image of an individual under 18 years of age

Yet I'm starting to get the feeling that this thread is veering into the well trodden GAF territory of people thinking US law is the first and only word on what defines someone "reaching maturity" in the moral sense.

 

[GraveHorizon]

Is this thread going to turn into a debate over the arbitrary distinction of how old is "old enough"?

Spoiler

16.

 

[Cuphead]

Glad I was too busy eating burritos to actually look at any of these photos.

Distributor of cp should get more punishment than people who view it?

That's what I was thinking because didn't she technically produce child pornography and be in possession of said pics.

 

[nomis]

Heyyyooooo. We've got a live one here.

A live what? Pedophile?

That's what I was thinking because didn't she technically produce child pornography and be in possession of said pics.

It's almost as if prosecuting her and the bazillion redditors who looked at her nudes would be a massive waste of time and effort for the FBI just to end up at an outcome where nobody wins.

 

[Dryk]

Well, I don't think possession is a crime when you're the one possessing your own pictures. And it's not really distribution because she never chose to distribute the pictures, they were stolen and leaked without her permission.

Aren't there a bunch of court cases at the moment where schoolchildren sexting each other are up on manufacture and distribution of child porn charges? It's super dumb, but she should be careful it doesn't happen to her too (who am I kidding she's famous).

 

[Aiii]

I think there's a picture of me as a baby, naked in the sink, getting a bath.

Are my parents going to jail?

Spoiler

Literally everyone has a picture of this of themselves. Pretty sure nobody is going to jail for having a naked picture of themselves.

 

[GraveHorizon]

Sure, and let's punish cops that brutalize/kill innocent people and rapists that sue their victims for child support while we're at it.

 

[TheSadRanger]

So what does that mean for the sites that were hosting said images like imgur? Most of those images were hosted on reddit through imgur.

 

[SamVimes]

I'm not sure that fucking, smoking and drinking is a definite sign that someone is an adult.

They're biologically mature, that's all that matters in this. If someone's body is developed to that of an adult they're definitely not a children, we're not a talking about a gangly 12 year old girl that is just developing breasts.

Now i'm definitely not saying that they should be protected in a different manner as they're minors (although in most of the world 17 is legal) but that's it, they're minors. Not children.

 

[Versace]

A live what? Pedophile?

P(a)edophiles don't go for 17 year olds.

We all belong in jail. But I don't think those pics were taken with sexual intent. She probably wont be prosecuted because she is a celebrity.

I'm 21. Getting it on with a 17 year old is absolutely not weird here, and is perfectly legal (16 and above). People should remember that different laws = different morals.

 

[nomis]

Oh, I'm fully aware of that. I was just asking yogloo what they intended to say.

 

[KissVibes]

I'm not saying that at all. Personally, I don't think she did anything wrong as she probably sent them to one person and they only got out via an iCloud vulnerability. In similar cases, I've heard that the teen who took the shots themselves also face legal trouble as they're the source and are considered the first distributor.

I was simply asking if that was the case here.

Does that count for nude pictures though? I assume you're from the UK.
