First time I've ever seen the expression.

Same for me.  I would have called it something like lynch mob psychology.

That phrase has been used tons of times here. There's no way you haven't seen it before.

It's more likely that you simply don't remember.

Or that I didn't bother with the 300 threads on child molestation or porn or gaybuttseks or whatever that mentioned it.

Works for me. I told my goddaughter I'd rip the nuts off her boyfriend if he did anything to her.

You need to be telling that to the boyfriend, not the girl.

I meet her boyfriends. I administer the tests to determine their moral fiber. I judge their worthiness.

Boyfriends? In plural?
What is this world coming to.

And about the sexting thing, yeah, prosecute the bastards, and their parents for not supervising what their children are doing.

Modernity, you third-world fuck.

Still, Siegebreaker provides a good example of how laws like this happen.  He cries out loudly against this sort of thing in an effort to mask the fact that he's a child-rapist himself.

Didn't we talk about this already?

Anyway, America's failure gets worse every day.

I love the irony that they won't release the name of the 14-year old mentioned in the OP because she's a juvenile, but they might make her register as a sex offender.

What I want to know is how you charge a 14-year-old with exploiting... herself? No party benefits exploitatively. Sounds to me like there's some loopholes in the code here that need to be patched before a ton of prosecutors abuse them, en masse.

PS - North Jersey. Ugh. At least in South Jersey, the majority of the BS is restricted to the immediate Camden area. Seems like most of North Jersey suffers from Newark-taint, at least on the eastern side. I couldn't comment on the northwest.

I think the justification is that the existence of child pornography creates a danger for all children, by making some sick people lust them.  Therefore, everyone who has something to do with putting it out there is a bad, bad person.

I understand that to be the rationale, but it still sucks. She can't be both the perp and the vic; if she's the perpetrator, then you're going to impose Megan's Law on a victimless crime, which is over-the-top excessive. If she's the victim, then there should be some kind of protection against "class traitor" punitive actions. It feels like this should be treated at most as endangerment of a minor, and most likely as a subset of exhibitionism.
