...between a 15-year old sending a picture of herself to her 15-year old boyfriend----and a grown
man who downloads videos and pictures of children being sexually abused by adults.
We should never use these "Romeo and Juliet" scenarios to downplay the horrors of child sex crimes, or
water down the laws for adults who are viewing sexually explicit images of children.
The penalties should be profoundly severe.
If we want to have different penalties for the 15-year old scenario--then make a separate law for those
situations. However, we should not loosen the laws just because of the 15-year old situation.
