a lot of people are freaking out lauren boebert's son needing to go on the sex offender registry for having sex with his girlfriend when she was 17 and he was 18. normally that would be totally fine.
apparently all of them are missing the fact that it was filmed and shared to others by him. DISTRIBUTING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.
how and why people are defending this is beyond me. it is proof that nobody has actual stances on anything, they just go based off of whatever the current social media vibe is. most people are not real people, i swear.
@pettanko obviously he isn't fucking Peter scully or something, there is a sliding scale of severity and the actual sentencing should reflect that. But people saying that distribution of such material is fine when someone close in age does it is completely missing the mark. Close in age exceptions are meant for private intimate acts, not sharing comprising media. I don't want to approach a slippery slope. The laws exist as they are now for a reason and I think they are good that way.
