A teenage boy in North Carolina has been prosecuted for having nude pictures of himself on his own mobile phone. The young man, who is now 17 but was 16 at the time the photos were discovered, had to strike a plea deal to avoid potentially going to jail and being registered as a sex offender.

Experts condemned the case as ludicrous. The boy was, however, punished by the courts, and had to agree to be subject to warrantless searches by law enforcement for a year, in addition to other penalties.

The young man was also named in the media and suffered a suspension as quarterback of his high school football team while the case was being resolved.

Cormega Copening, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, was prosecuted as an adult under federal child pornography felony laws, for sexually exploiting a minor. The minor was himself.

He plead guilty, if it had gone to court it would have been dismissed like every other time this has happened

At least he learned the hard way not to trust adults

More examples of un-intrusive, liberty-living conservative small government. Next thing you know, cops and prosecutors will be throwing kids in prison for being naked under clothing. Government so small it can fit into every American's every orifice

>Child Pornography.
>Charged as an adult.

You can't have it both ways Mr. Prosecutor, either he's a child or an adult.
If he's an adult it's not child porn, and if he's a child there's no law broken.

This fucking government ruling annoys me.

I live in South Carolina, and I didn't even know this happened. Honestly besides the random inbred confederate flag wielding red neck pony tail fuck wads, everything is normal.
