Continuing on from Kev note a week ago about the change in UK law in respect to the legal age for nude models in the UK now being retroactively changed from 16 to 18....to confuse things even more...
...now...today in Florida a major decision has been ruled by the courts in the crimnal case against the GIRLS GONE WILD video producers....who are candid film makers who go to Spring Break and Mardi Gras events all over the usa...and mostly film wet t shirt events and girls flashing their boobs. The Feds tried to prosecute the producers of this series, cos some of the girls exposing themselves were apparently under 18....
Anyway...in a major court ruling today...the judge ruled in favor of Girls Gone Wild and threw out the case the Feds tried to bring...stating that under age girls exposing themselves in public is NOT child pornography.
The ruling in this case is the same as in all court cases in recent years regarding public film making....i.e. when you go out in public you have no reasonably expectation of privacy and you are basically responsible for your own actions....so if you flash your boobs and end up on the box cover of a Girls Gone Wild video...thats your fault for exposing yourself in public...and the producers are not responsible to know what your age is. Like it or not....today's court ruling merely upholds that public film making is not illegal.
