What?! NY Court of Appeals Say Watching Child Porn is LEGAL

What in the world is really going on?!!

“Rather, some affirmative act is required (printing, saving, downloading, etc.) to show that defendant in fact exercised dominion and control over the images that were on his screen,” Ciparick wrote. “To hold otherwise, would extend the reach of (state law) to conduct — viewing — that our Legislature has not deemed criminal.”

It’s true: Under article 263 of New York’s penal code, it’s illegal to create, possess, distribute, promote, or facilitate child films, but it’s not illegal simply to view it. And the evidence in the case against Marist College Professor James D. Kent consisted of images found in a Web cache on his computer when he took it in to get it scanned for viruses.

As Johnson points out, federal child films laws don’t mention browser caches, and just that evidence hasn’t been enough to win federal convictions in the past. Since he didn’t know the cache was capturing the Web content, Kent couldn’t be held responsible for collecting them, the court ruled. Because as we all learned from this ruling, simply looking at child films is legal in New York.

Lord, have mercy, please. This is why we have pedophiles who want to claim young boys and girls as their mates and it be legal! Its true- look it up for yourself. The New York court needs to repent and see the light because it is so, so wrong!
