The person who released these pictures and the owners of websites who hosted them, must really be sweating right now. Have fun in jail, fuckers

 

[sgossard]

Holy shit this thread is going places.

To hell and back baby.

Am I the only one who thinks it's kinda an oxymoron to take anything Hollywood-related seriously?

 

[Supervlieg]

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

U no tag yet?

 

[M3d10n]

To be fair, the Mary Elizabeth Winestead pictures were supposedly a few years old, and McKayla is 18 years old right now. So it's very possible.

I wonder if they'll be accused of producing child porn and put into the sex offenders registry. After all, they were the ones who took the pictures.

 

[sgossard]

Dude, he's 18.

 

[OverBlood 3]

Hahaha, that cat!

Dude, he's 18.

21. Even so that's 4 years difference, which is nothing.

How do the owners know its CP either?

is imgur liable for someone else uploading this pic there?

 

[sk3]

I'm curious how a case like this would evolve.

You would have to prove the photos were taken before she was 18, rather than the accused needing to prove the photos were taken AFTER she was 18 right? Because she is of legal age now. They could have been taken last month for all we know.

All of the metadata on the actually leaked pictures is tainted and potentially modified, so it cannot be trusted. I guess you could do forensics on the device used to take the pictures, if they are still there. Apple would possibly have logs of when the picture was first synced to their servers.

Seems like a hard case to prove.

Are ISPs also accessories to this felony?

if neogaf ran the world, the police would arrest anyone who has seen mckayla's nude 17-year-old pics for pedophilia.. facepalm

I doubt anything will come of it.

The hacker/leaker(s) are screwed either way. Jail time is very likely

Man, these fuckers got all the internet darlings. Yikes.

is iCloud liable for hosting this CP too?

Are there any Zooey's in the leak? Just asking.

It's likely just scare tactics and it's working, which is good because she nor any of these women deserved this. I'll be honest, I saw the image when it came out before the age nuke was dropped as it was being spammed around 4chan. It actually shows less than Vanessa Hudgens photo so people could also argue whether or not it falls under artistic. Personally because reasons I'm convinced she actually is 18 in it but all the same better safe than sorry.

Is it the law that you have to know it's child porn? I was under the impression that "I didn't know she was underage!" isn't a defense to statutory rape...same concept? Arguably, if she just recently turned 18, they should have or could have guessed.

Although, I can't say for sure, as I've never had a reason to fully investigate these laws (LOL unlike all the people I just mentioned, who are probably scrambling to research it as we speak).

 

[Irminsul]

I don't know about the US, but in Germany, the hosting service wouldn't be liable unless it knew about the content and didn't remove it upon being noticed.

 

[AnotherNils]

This really comes off as a creative lawyer idea to get the pics off the internet. "You can't prove they were taken after her 18th birthday, so therefore child porn!". Nothing scares people more into compliance more than "child porn"!

in an age of teen cellphone ownership it's completely plausible, and if it helps limit their clients exposure after their pics were illegally shared, I'm quite fine with it (unless Feds were to prosecute under false info).

Biologically yeah, but morally, age in this context is defining mental development and maturity.
Being a 15 years old with prematurely developed features, shouldn't undermine the protection offered by society, i think anyone with a brain would agree with this.

And so this whole discussion is kind of pointless, because it doesn't matter what you find attractive, it's morally wrong to engage sexually with someone without that mental development that we (a bit arbitrarily, for practical reasons) established being around 18 years of age (year more year less depending on country).

We're talking about looking (and likely fapping) at someone's pics. If persons body is physically indistinguishable from someone of the age of the consent it takes a high fucking horse to call people creepy or immoral.

"I didn't know she was under 18!" is a defense to statutory rape in the situation that the girl (or boy) has lied about their age and you've met them in say... a nightclub they've used fake ID to get into.

nah, people are just exaggerating here as always. dont worry

 

[whatever77]

Saw JLaw's boobs, I am good.

 

[JJDinomite]

There's pedophilia...

And then there's REAL pedophilia...

 

[Omegasquash]

Man, these fuckers got all the internet darlings. Yikes.

That actually bugs me a bit. No one cared until it was their sweetheart Jennifer Lawrence that got hit.

 

[sgossard]

So I shouldn't have microwaved my laptop? Make up your mind gaf, am I a lowlife criminal or not?

That makes sense in the context of a nightclub, but it's not going to help the distributors of these photos...

So, have fun in jail, fuckers!

 

[MIMIC]

This is like that episode of "Degrassi" when Alli sent a nude photo of herself to her boyfriend, and when they were fighting, he sent the pic to everyone's phone in school.

Wait a minute....no, I don't watch that show.

It's considerably creepy to fap to this material anyway, no? It's one step removed from a peeping Tom jacking off at a window.

 

[sgossard]

Saw JLaw's boobs, I am good.

LOL, my man.
I'm more of a Kristen Ritter man myself, though.

 

[Sylver]

This new is just to make people who saw and saved those pics bad and fear about it.
Lol.

 

[Randam]

No one is going to jail.

Srsly guys..

 

[Keri]

Oh, people are going to jail. At the very least, the guy who leaked the pictures.

 

[sgossard]

If I went and posted here the goddamn McKayla pic and you guys saw it even for a second you guys would now be pedos, right?

 

[Unbound By Death]

You never know if one of the cops is a gaffer. You did good.

If you don't know it, maybe.
Otherwise i think it's fair to consider a creepy behavior.

Again, i don't fault anyone for finding whatever attractive, as that's out of someone's control, but how you decide to act after that, is where morals enter into play.
So saying "i find 16 years old attractive --> therefore i would smash" isn't a morally good reasoning.

 

[sgossard]

How many years in the can do you get for "being creepy" these days?

 

[Vermillion]

Sucks to suck.

 

[UrbanRats]

i don't know, but i didn't talk about jail nor anything legal, i'm talking about a personal sense of morality.

 

[sgossard]

I know man, I'm just messing with you.

Who's the oldest "celebrity" involved in this nonsense?

This whole seeing 17 year olds naked thing is very, very important to you. This thread at this point is mostly just you saying "Ohhhh, apparently I'm soooooo bad for seeing this. Maybe you should all see so you're all soooo bad" and being super passive-aggressive and victimized every other post like you're the Rosa Parks of young ass.

LOL, Rosa Parks of young ass.

And no, mister, I'm not gonna talk about this topic in a serious manner, thank you very much.

Edit :I'm curious myself as to why I find this nonsense so hilarious.

 

[biggersmaller]

I don't get the outrage. A 17 year old's topless seflie is about as immoral as pics of 20 year olds drinking beer.

I'm sure it's embarrassing to her and she should feel rightfully violated, but calling that image 'child pornography' is an insult to true victims of real child porn. Hell, when I was 15 I was posting selfies of myself flexing in the mirror to "hot or not." I actually had to develop film, scan it, then upload that shot via dial-up.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

This thread only further proves that labeling pictures of 17 year olds "child porn" is as ridiculous as labeling people convicted of statutory with 17 year olds "rapists". Honestly, a Chris Hanson picture posted in response to a 21 yo poster saying he'd sleep with a 17 yo?

I know this is America and sex is icky and gross, but we need to expand the vocabulary around these issues because it sounds fucking dumb as currently described.

 

[wildfire]

Great jumps to conclusion and simplistic thinking buddy. Using your twisted logic if neogaf ran the world we would be destroying 17 year olds but keep the population going because 12 year olds are physically mature.

*rolls eyes*

Careful Kano. He has access to imgur and knows how to upload.

Hot or not wasn't around in the 70's brah

So Apple hosts child porn on their iCloud servers, goodbye Apple.

Well, what was the outcome? Can't leave us hanging bro.

 

[Valhelm]

I think it's ridiculous that a 16-year-old girl can legally have sex with a 50-year-old in some parts of the US, but if she sends a picture of herself to a friend, both the sender and the recipient can be accused of a sex crime.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

NVM, linking images from FB is a damn nightmare

 

[Samyy]

Nothing is going to happen to major websites that hosted it (ie. Porn.com) from that article all they had to do was remove it.

The leaker will get hit hard.
