I have to agree. The jokes with Pedo Bear aren't the real issue. It's the people who are profiting off of young girls who we should be pissed at and disgusted with.
Someone directed me to the site www.trueteenbabes.com and I was shocked at what I saw. Girls as young as 13 in sheer lingerie?! This is what they are looking for as far as models:
model for us...
Attractive teen females (ages 13 to 17 only)
Hmm. And you know something's not right when the first four paragraphs on the "legal & copyright info" page is spent defending the content on their site:
All of the Teen Glamour Models that appear on TrueTeenBabes do so with the full written permission of their parent(s) or legal guardian. Copies of those Parental Permission Agreements and Model Release forms are on file at the office of Andrew J. Contiguglia of the law firm of Contiguglia, P.C. and other legal counsel.
The images within this publication are no different than those found in magazines at your local grocery store, including the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, Maxim, FHM, Gear, Jane and others -- all of which have featured models under the age of 18 at one time or another in strikingly similar photographs.
This publication does not contain full nudity, any type of child pornography, or "sexually explicit conduct" as defined within the official Federal Law concerning Child Pornography.
Furthermore, because the free speech & expression exhibited by this publication, our photographer and our models is "neither obscene, nor the product of sexual abuse, it does not fall outside the protection of the First Amendment" Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition 122 S.CT 1389. That is the law, as set down in April of 2002 by the United States Supreme Court. Clearly the entire content of this Internet publication are protected speech.
I was happy to read this on AVN.com awhile back:
New Law Focuses on Website Featuring Underage Girls
TAMPA, Fla. - TrueTeenBabes.com, a website based in the Pinellas County Bay area, has been targeted by a new law because it features 13- to 17-year-old girls in lingerie and G-strings.
The law makes it a third-degree felony for teen-modeling agencies to "distribute on the Internet pictures of minors in provocative circumstances."
Gov. Charlie Crist signed the law into effect Wednesday.
Lawmakers say TrueTeenBabes.com's photos are "borderline pornography," but the operators of the website say the pictures are "glamour photographs" and parents have to sign an agreement before payment - up to $100 an hour.
Sen. Mike Fasano, R-Fla., was instrumental in forging the new law.
"True Teen Babes: That was the one that was brought to our attention," Fasano said. "We have an obligation to protect those children if their parents aren't going to."
The state attorney's office was looking into charging the photographer but was unable to locate any current law violations, Fasano said. This was the genesis for Fasano's support of the bill.
"Taking pictures of a 13-year-old girl in a bathing suit or less than a bathing suit and broadcasting that picture on a website where it's downloaded and purchased by sick pedophiles, then I believe that is against our community standards," Fasano said, adding that the photographer should be "prosecuted to the fullest."
Fasano said he believes that a federal court would agree. Apparently, the photographer for True Teen Babes thinks the same and plans to leave Florida.
Michael Allen, a constitutional-law professor at Stetson University, said he doesn't think the new law will stand up in federal court because it "infringes on the First Amendment right to freedom of expression" and is "too broad and vague."
Fasano disagreed, saying he believes the photos violate the community's obscenity standards. |
