Definition Of Child Pornography

During juvenile court proceedings, three teenage boys admit to sexually assaulting Audrie and possessing photos of the assault--both felonies. As a result, two of the boys are sentenced to thirty days in juvenile detention to be served on weekends, and the other receives a sentence to serve forty-five consecutive days in juvenile detention. Because the assailants are considered minors at the time of the crime, they are not publicly identified, and their convictions remain concealed.

If a text includes a message that is intended to persuade, induce, entice or coerce a minor to produce a lewd or indecent image, that text is also a felony violation of laws regarding the sexual exploitation of a child. This is true even if both the sender and the recipient are minors. Another possible misconception is the belief that receiving an unsolicited sext image from a minor is not a violation, since it is not possible to know in advance whether a text includes an inappropriate image. The image should be deleted as soon as it is received, otherwise the recipient is in violation of the possession clause of the

A 17 year old girl went to a job interview in the back of the accused’s (Ewanchuk) van. After the interview concluded, Ewanchuk invited her into his trailer to see some of his work. The complainant complied, and purposely left the trailer door open-- though Ewanchuk closed the door soon after, in a way where the complainant had thought he had locked it. The accused began a string of sexual touches, each more intimate than the previous, which the complainant said “no” to, only to have Ewanchuk continue with another advance shortly thereafter. Any compliance the complainant offered was due to fear of the altercation turning violent. Ewanchuk paid her $100 before she left and told her not to tell anyone about it.

In April 2011, GAO, Government Accountability Office, reported that backlogs in the forensic analysis of digital evidence can delay or hinder online child pornography investigations. Among factors that federal law enforcement officials cited as limiting investigations and prosecutions were variations in the steps that agencies believe enhance the integrity of forensic analysis of digital evidence. In some cases, these steps may increase the time it takes to analyze evidence and add to backlogs and delays.
