re: Clarification - Germany downgraded child porn to a misdemeanor

This is the where the US should step into the LGBTQIA+ world and instead of promoting it, crush the ever living shite out of it. Full on war with Germany through sanctions, propaganda, and tariffs until they bend the knee. We don't need this mental disease spreading across the EU and then eventually hit this country.

Child porn is not decriminalized in Germany

My bad. Germany equates child porn to jaywalking is probably more accurate. I apologize to you and the German legislature for my ignorance.

To be fair, most of their alpha males were killed off.

German law currently stipulates that a person who disseminates child pornographic content or makes it available to the general public is punished with a prison sentence of between one and 10 years. Before the reform by Germany’s previous government that took effect in July 2021, it provided for sentences ranging from three months to five years.

Justice Minister Marco Buschmann said the upper limit will stay in place

Ten years. Doesnt sound the same as jaywalking.

You do know we have done similar things here, too? For example, in LA we created laws for sexting out of the blue to specifically remove certain behaviors from possession/distribution of CP.

So this legislation is on par with Germany’s legislation in your opinion?

It was literally created for the same goal: to not have teens exchanging naked pictures of themselves with other teens face CP charges.

In the case, Jane Doe used the phone-based application Snapchat to send a revealing selfie to a boy at her school in Southern Minnesota. He went on to make a copy and distribute it to other students without Jane’s permission. Even though Jane didn’t victimize anybody, Rice County’s prosecutor charged her with felony distribution of child pornography. A conviction, or even a guilty plea to a lesser charge, would require Jane to spend 10 years on the sex offender registry.

Sending sexually suggestive text messages and explicit photos or videos of oneself has become so commonplace that it has a name — sexting. Conservative estimates on the prevalence of adolescent sexting are that 12 percent of adolescents aged 12-17 have sent an explicit image of themselves to another person at some point in their life. A 2012 survey by the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center (MARC) of 18-year-olds found 30 percent had sent nude pictures during high school, and 45 percent had received them.

We can all agree that sexual abuse of children is abhorrent and that our criminal laws should punish that abuse. And an important means of combatting sexual abuse of children is to prosecute those who create, possess, and disseminate works that are a permanent record of that abuse.

In Minnesota, two statutes criminalize the creation, possession, and dissemination of child pornography. The policy and purpose behind Minnesota’s law is “to protect minors from the physical and psychological damage caused by their being used in pornographic work depicting sexual conduct which involves minors” and “to protect the identity of minors who are victimized by involvement in the pornographic work, and to protect minors from future involvement in pornographic work depicting sexual conduct.”

Rather her young life could be ruined all because she sent an explicit Snapchat of herself to a boy she liked.

If Minnesota follows suit, are they now "decriminalizing child porn" or "downgrading child porn to a misdemeanor"?

I used to work with a guy in the 1990's, maybe 15 years older than me, who said that we were still in WW1. WW2 was phase 2 of WW1 and WW3 would be fought for all the same reasons. He was a Navy Vet.

Oh " we do it too".
Have you used this in court.
