29. Kiddie porn is rape porn

A 10 year old can't give consent. I'm not going to go so far as to directly compare rape to this, other than to say that consent isn't involved in either. But it should be widely condemned at least, if not banned in the most egregious cases.

Good read. Thank you for posting. nt Coexist Sep 2012 #1

Wow, one of the best articles I've read in a long, long time redqueen. So, so much info here riderinthestorm Sep 2012 #2

It really was hard to choose which paragraphs to use... redqueen Sep 2012 #31

Good article. Thanks for this. It's important to point this crap out, smirkymonkey Sep 2012 #3

I work with a woman who blamed Kate Middleton for getting photographed. Curtland1015 Sep 2012 #4

The photographer was on a public street. Nye Bevan Sep 2012 #7

They weren't. Unless that person was using a very powerful telescopic lense. Curtland1015 Sep 2012 #8

And what of the women whose images are shared on creepshots? redqueen Sep 2012 #9

Not when the photographing is done like this: NYC Liberal Sep 2012 #10

Well, that's a bit different from the Duchess situation. Nye Bevan Sep 2012 #13

I do think the photographer WAS stalking Kate Middleton. MicaelS Sep 2012 #20

You got it. NYC Liberal Sep 2012 #21

I don’t understand how that is not illegal. It looks like imprisonment to me. tblue37 Sep 2012 #22

You couldn't have possibly read the article to have made this statement riderinthestorm Sep 2012 #12

Upskirt photography is illegal, is my understanding. Nye Bevan Sep 2012 #14

creepshots isn't upskirt shots. redqueen Sep 2012 #16

This one's been defending the photographer in other threads as well Posteritatis Sep 2012 #51

Define "In view". IIRC the distance was the best part of a mile. TheMadMonk Sep 2012 #17

Kate Middleton was not "in vuew of a public street" obamanut2012 Sep 2012 #32

He could not have taken her photo with a regular camera. To get those shots in a private sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #37

Bathroom/dressing room = reasonable expectation of privacy. Nye Bevan Sep 2012 #38

Not anywhere NEAR a half a mile zoom OriginalGeek Sep 2012 #45

Digital "zoom" on a phone camera isn't exactly a telescope. (nt) Posteritatis Sep 2012 #50

If you are on private property, even a back yard, and a neighbor sneaks around taking sabrina 1 Sep 2012 #58

Um no.. Voyeurism should be illegal MattBaggins Sep 2012 #41

It seems like the default reaction. redqueen Sep 2012 #11

Here is my question: weren't there security guards and servants around? adigal Sep 2012 #39

A half mile isn't earshot. (nt) Posteritatis Sep 2012 #52

While I find this conduct reprehensible Egnever Sep 2012 #18

Please read the first two paragraphs at the link, and tell me how to avoid those situations. nt redqueen Sep 2012 #19

Why, that should be simple lolly Sep 2012 #59

Exactly. Just wear a burqa redqueen Sep 2012 #60

Please explain how people can avoid telephoto-wielding photographers 800m away. (nt) Posteritatis Sep 2012 #48

Did you catch the NON-consensual part? undergroundpanther Sep 2012 #23

I would go one step farther and say part of the blame goes to those who seek this content Major Nikon Sep 2012 #25

This has gone on forever with the paparazzi - Jackie Kennedy in the 1970s adigal Sep 2012 #40

It is much worse now. redqueen Sep 2012 #42

It is indeed, there used to be a few boundaries, now only fear stops them. bemildred Sep 2012 #43

I wish people would stop paying attention. Stop providing the demand. redqueen Sep 2012 #44

Not much chance of that. bemildred Sep 2012 #53

But there are literally millions of pictures of sexy, naked people on the net... redqueen Sep 2012 #56
