Two 16 year old high school students, now 17, were charged with sending sexual photographs, of themselves, to each other. The girl made a plea deal with prosecutors amounting to 1 year probation and $200 fine, while the guy is facing jail time and the requirement to register as a lifelong sex offender.

If this isn't the ultimate example of a pussy pass I don't know what is:

Quote:

A North Carolina high school quarterback is on the bench, facing felony charges and sex offender status for exchanging nude photos with his girlfriend when both were 16 -- all because of a state law one critic says "makes terrible sense."

Cormega Copening, 17, and his girlfriend, Brianna Denson, were charged as adults in February for sending "sexually explicit" photos of minors -- themselves -- to each other's cell phone when the Fayetteville teens were 16.

Quote:

Officials from the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office originally planned to charge 16-year-old Brianna Denson with two felony counts against herself for sexual exploitation of minor. The Kafkaesque situation potentially comes with real consequences. Had Denson been convicted, she would have faced prison and been required to be listed as a registered sex offender for the rest of her life for a crime she would have committed against herself, the Fayetteville Observer reported.

To avoid that, Denson ultimately pleaded to a misdemeanor charge of "disseminating harmful material to minors." In July, District Court Judge Stephen Stokes sentenced her to, among other things, one-year of probation, a $200 fine, a class on how to make smarter life decisions and forbid access to a cellphone for the duration of her probation.

Quote:

Copening was charged with two counts of second degree sexual exploitation of a minor and three counts of third degree sexual exploitation of a minor after authorities found nude images he and his girlfriend exchanged on their cell phones. Each count is a felony charge and a felony carries at least two years in jail.

Copening also faces the possibility of becoming a registered sex offender

Ruining a kids life (but not the girl's) over a couple of tit shots sent when they were 16. Welcome to Full Retard.

Age of consent is 16 in North Carolina.

So they can see each other naked in person and it's legal. They can have actual sex and that's legal. She can also get pregnant and go on welfare and that's perfectly legal.

Also according to state law, they can get married at 16 with parental permission. But if she'd gotten pregnant, they could get married even younger with no permission: "Minors 14-15 may obtain license with court order in case of pregnancy or birth of child."

But sending a nude photo? Jail time!! Off with their heads!!

I wonder if their lawyers brought all this up -- and if so, whether the absurdity of it registered with the judge. Basically, the law gives a free pass to 14-year-olds who get knocked up, but jails kids two years older for sending dirty pics. WTF!

This is bizarre almost belief. The relevance of her pussy pass here almost entirely pales in comparison to the absurd use of that law.

[PapayaTapper]

The real criminals in cases like this are the investigators and prosecutors that bring charges in an instance such as this. Rather than seeking justice for a victim that's been harmed they are inflicting the harm themselves for the sake of adding to their "conviction" scorecard to advance their own career. Fucking scumbag motherfuckers.

Crickets from the feminists on the incredibly obvious pussy pass.

These cases aren't new. In fact it has been well documented as pedophilia in the eyes of the law because 'reasons'.

[Gorgiass]

At least a few states have changed laws because of high profile cases like this. Maybe NC will follow suit, and hopefully his case will get thrown out. Some of the charges people can face for minor offenses are ridiculous, probably to encourage plea bargaining like she did, but most people won't receive anything near the maximum even if they are convicted.

If two teenagers want to send nudes of themselves to each other then what does the government have to do with it?

[Phoenix]

But how did they even know about the pictures though?

If I had to guess, I'd say that the girl's parents reported the boy to the police to protect little buttercup.

This is some true big brother shit right here. Here is a prime example of when legislation has gone too damn far and dug into people's personal lives where they don't ever belong.

Sure, they were older kids technically, but God damn, they were dating and experimenting with sex before 18 isn't a crime yet. Or is it? From star quarter back to sex offender in the push of a text button.
