No my friend i think your are mistaken and perhaps not looking at all the implications.ph0b0s123 said:
The actual definition of child porn changed from state to state and country to country. In Canada (for example) even cartoon or hentai of children pornography is as punishable as if you took real photos your self.
Many states follow whats called the 2 or 4 year rule of course depending on the state laws and how they are worded for things as statutory rape or child pron (the wording is very important for law). The 4 year rule is like a buffer allowing someone of close age, but one technically a minor to still pursue sexual activity with out criminal liability. So if this guy whos 18 had like a 12 year old in nude photos he would be busted. On the other hand other states make no difference for the 4 year rule when it comes to child porn, so a image of a 17 year old is treated the same way as a image of a 7 year old. Usually in cases involving child porn, the details of the young victims (child who the subject, terms actually used irl) in the said photos are left out, somewhat a unsporken rule of liberal media when reporting such cases as news.
