Reply to comment by Kosa_Twilight in UF Quarterback Jalen Kitna accused of possessing child pornography by Cussi2021

So his excuse was that he found it online so he thought it was okay, which is probably bullshit but kinda makes me wonder.

Like, I've definitely seen online videos with naked young adults. But in real life, an 18-24 year old could look exactly the same as a 16 year old. If I think I'm "innocently" watching a video of what I'm assuming is a consenting adult, but turns out to be a 17 year old, am I gonna be charged?

I feel like it would have to be much more stark of a difference to actually be charged. Like clearly pre-adolescent victims would be a lot harder to excuse, versus teenagers. Although I do remember this:

That's crazy. They had a pediatrician on stand to try saying that she was underage. They must have had it out for that guy.

Two things about this particular adult film star.

  1. She looked really young, and anybody would have thought is was child porn.

  2. One of the film directors she worked for was arrested for making actual child porn.

I remember on Google+ there was a page showing CP - toddlers and stuff. It took over 2k people mass reporting to get rid of it, but I'm still scarred. I was 14yrs old when that happened.

I didn’t read this particular article, but I did read another on this incident. The wording used to describe the offending images hinted rather strongly that you’d have to be fairly blind to not recognize that one of the people in the images was most definitely under the age of 18.

And that's what I assume. I'm curious if there is a vetting process for porn sites that advertise using words like teen, young, innocent, etc.

Well, a couple years ago there was a big kerfuffle about that in the news concerning PornHub. Apparently some content leaked past whatever moderating system they had in place. In response they simply removed a whole swath of content if there was no way to verify the ages of people in said videos and will not promote or allow uploads of anything they can’t 100% verify as being legal content. I imagine other “major” porn sites likely followed suit.

I can only imagine the amount of money a site like Pornhub pulls in on a monthly basis. Completely reasonable that they’d install a policy moving forward that anything unverifiable is denied a posting.
