Teenager Arrested For Posting Naked Ex-girlfriend Pics On MySpace

By - Source: Tom's Hardware US | B 14 comments

 

Lacrosse County (WI) - 17-year-old Alex Phillips thought he was "getting back" at an ex-girlfriend by posting her naked pictures on MySpace, but it seems the local police have other plans for the teenager. Phillips posted two pictures of the 16-year-old girl on his MySpace page and spurned warnings by the police to take them down. He refused and was arrested for child pornography, defamation and sexual exploitation.

    Oh nice, another article relevant to electronics industries that we can't get anywhere else (fark, cnn, drudge, digg, etc.).

    people have been posting their ex girlfriend's pics on usenet for decades. They probably aren't so stupid as to tie their identity to the posting, but stupidity has existed among humans for millenia.

    I don't get it, tomshardware has been getting larger yet the pool of quality articles has been drying up???

    That probably made her feel awesome. I bet this dumbass completely forgot about CP laws thinking it's ok because he's also a child.

    I could think of a dozen people that need to be arrested relating to the naked picture. How come that only arrested one?

    Noooo, must delete massive collection of terrorist plans / child porn / pirated music / stolen government file / etc...

    @doomsdaydave11,
    No doubt, total idiot. I wish cops always had the decency to ask you to stop before they arrest you.

    Cop: please don't try to smuggle that large amount of cocaine into the US
    Me: oh, sorry, i'll try again later

    He's going to have MAJOR trouble getting dates after this. Technically, this removes him from the gene pool, so he should get a Darwin award.

    The girl should also be arrested for child pornography, since she took the pictures, and transmitted the pictures to him via her cell phone (which should be an additional charge). I'm completely serious. If we're going to have "children" being arrested for "child pronography", she's just as guilty as he is, and not arresting her is nothing short of reverse discrimination sexism.

    @AARRGGHHH
    You know I think you're right. Its pretty stupid that somebody can get charged with taking photos of themselves, but I think it would technically be considered distributing child porn.

    @aevm
    Its true, except that he is still physically capable. He could donate to a sperm bank or move and change his identity.
