What’s wrong with this picture?
Computer-generated images of children having sex are protected by free-speech provisions of the United States Constitution’s First Amendment.
Supreme Court justices by 6-3 vote on April 16 nullified the Child Pornography Prevention Act (CPPA) because it was unconstitutionally vague and prohibited speech containing serious literary, artistic, political or social values.
Justices had the nerve to associate virtual kiddie porn with the works of William Shakespeare and motion pictures Traffic and American Beauty.
Adopted by Congress and signed by the President in 1996, the law banned any visual depiction “that appears to be a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct.”
Cyber commerce will now reap another bonanza. Imagine future classified ads in porn publications soliciting artistic pedophiles with computer experience. (28 APRIL 2002)
