Restitution in sexual abuse cases


NYTIMES

When Amy was a little girl, her uncle made her famous in the worst way: as a star in the netherworld of child pornography. Photographs and videos known as “the Misty series” depicting her abuse have circulated on the Internet for more than 10 years, and often turn up in the collections of those arrested for possession of illegal images.

Now, with the help of an inventive lawyer, the young woman known as Amy — her real name has been withheld in court to prevent harassment — is fighting back.

  1. I'll bet certain mosdos are sweating bullets.

    You don't have to produce videos to be held culpable.

  2. Joseph - would it be possible to identify yourself as Joseph2 when signing off in future comments here? Would make this less confusing :-) (as I've posted under this name for a couple years on this blog.)

    I noticed on a different thread earlier today you did sign off that way...

    Thanks!
