    Quoted from Quiddity:

    I need more information before I tar and feather him... Two counts seems like a really small number if he's really some secret kiddie porn lover. I mean... his HD's could have 17k images and another 15k pornographic videos on them, and out of that huge number there's only TWO things that warrant him being charged over? I know, I know, 'Merica. Just seems ridiculous that someone's life is potentially going to be ruined and it could boil down to him downloading two images that he thought were legal.

    Let's be real clear on this: NO IMAGES OF CHILD PORN ARE ACCEPTABLE. Zero. Anything greater than the number 0 makes you a scumbag. It is up to the courts to determine if John did something wrong and he is entitled to due process.

    Quoted from Frax:

    It's not acceptable to be a [removed] and distort what someone else said either. There wasn't any question of that. Stop being dumb. Thanks.

    Distorted nothing, [removed]. Responded to a direct comment.

    This is all a sad situation. We will need to let due process take its course.

    Quoted from Quiddity:

    Too much ambiguity in the law for me to agree with that. Examples? Eighteen year old kid takes consensual pictures of him/herself with their sixteen year old girlfriend. http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/04/07/sexting.busts/ Two sixteen year olds in North Carolina takes pictures and video of themselves and the files are found on one of their phones. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/09/21/n-c-just-prosecuted-a-teenage-couple-for-making-child-porn-of-themselves/?utm_term=.8756a769e761
    Given the choice, I'd personally define child porn as any non-consensual image/video taken, with the caveat that ability to consent legally being dependent on the age involved. If the legal system is going to charge a fifteen or sixteen year old as an adult with a crime, then they should have the legal ability to consent to pornography.

    You bring up thoughtful points and with technology and society norms being where they are things become tricky (i,e; teens sexting, etc). However, we have a very different situation in this case where a much older person could potentially have access to this type of material. It is one thing for an 18 yo to have pics of a 16 yo girlfriend; a much different story for a 69 year old man to have the same pictures. As myself and others have said, it will be up to the courts to decide what is really the situation here.
