Yearbook Porn

[Ranger]

This is just kind of funny, especially since the social police have decided that possessing one of these yearbooks constitutes child pornography.... What can I say, it's Caleefornya!

Students at a California high school were asked to turn in their yearbooks after a photo was discovered inside the memory book of two students possibly engaged in a sex act, authorities said Thursday.
San Bernardino County investigators were notified Tuesday and Big Bear High School employees and detectives began collecting the yearbooks in the mountain community at Big Bear Lake, 70 miles east of Los Angeles.
The background of a school dance photo shows a 17-year-old boy's hand inside the clothing of a 15-year-old girl in a way that suggests sexual penetration.
"The photo was taken at a dance and the suspect and victim are not the focus of the photo. They are in the background and likely didn't know they were in the photo," said sheriff's spokeswoman Cynthia Bachman.
It went unnoticed by the yearbook adviser.
"When the adviser scanned the photo, it was very easy to overlook," Bachman said.
But the scandalous picture didn't escape student notice after the yearbooks were distributed.
"You know, how you look at a photo and don't notice what's in the background? Then, it's, 'Oh my gosh, look what's going on back there,'" Bachman said.
Authorities said no one has been arrested but they released no other information on the boy and girl.
Most students have returned the yearbooks for editing, which involves covering the suspect photo with another page or another photograph.
Detectives were contacting students who haven't turned in yearbooks with a warning they could face a charge of possessing child porn.
Telephone calls to the principal's office were referred to the school district. Tim Larson, spokesman for the Bear Valley Unified School District, didn't immediately return a telephone message.
The last day of classes is Friday, according to the school calendar.

They should charge the school with selling "child pornography"!

Exactly... you can't say "Sorry, you unwittingly and unknowingly possess Child Pornography that was given via the SCHOOL, do not pass go, do not collect $200, Jail!"

Why would detectives be contacting students at all? What crime has been committed? Not surprised that people are trying to strong arm kids though.

It wasn't porn, but a similar thing happened with my high school year book. There were pictures of people drinking and smoking pot in it... big fuss, blah blah, I still have mine.

Pornography Defined: Any visual media depicting the genitalia of a male or female to include videos, pictures, drawings or paintings.
Child Pornography: Same as above only involving minors (US under 18).
The only reason I had that definition lying around was because I had to prove that Maxim was not porn to my COC in Afghanistan.

The child porn thing is just a scare tactic. The authorities can't do jack if the kids don't return the books.

True and all it really is is minors depicting a sex act, it's not any worse that what I've seen on some of my friends younger siblings/children's facebook pictures- which some of that is not really all that appropriate for under 18 to be doing.
