One step closer to thought crime


It's child porn because the FedGovs say it is

This one is unbelievable.

In a federal indictment announced this week, the U.S. Department of Justice accused Pierson, 43, of being a child pornographer--even though even prosecutors acknowledge there's no evidence he has ever taken a single photograph of an unclothed minor.

Rather, they argue, his models struck poses that were illegally provocative. "The images charged are not legitimate child modeling, but rather lascivious poses one would expect to see in an adult magazine," Alice Martin, U.S. attorney for the northern district of Alabama, said in a statement.

Got that?

No sexual acts.

No nudity.

Just poses that someone interpreted as "lascivious."

Now I am not exactly a fan of child modeling.

But for crying out loud, open this can of worms and every single picture of children is suddenly open to prosecution.

When does it stop?

The scarier part of this is that people don't realize that this was almost inevitable, once we started doing it "for the children."
