What does that even mean?
As ewww as that sounds, I don't get why the law sees that as an indictable offense. To my uneducated eyes it appears like a victimless crime.
Like, I wouldn't want people who work with children to read or write stuff like that, but given that we allow the publication of novels that talk about all sorts of crimes, why should this be any different?
So... eww but at the same time meh?
That's why I'm confused.
There are plenty of movies, music, and art depicting murder, torture, rapes, etc., yet they aren't considered criminal.
Charging someone with writing CP just makes it seem like you have a flimsy case against them, and you have to charge them with anything you can think of.
I think that if they are charging them with that, it must mean it's an indictable offense according to our current laws. You can't charge somebody with being a poor Elvis impersonator, for example.
In the article they describe the charges for each of the accused and all of them are accused of what to me look like much more serious crimes, so at the end of the day I'm glad they caught them. It's just that specific charge which I find odd.
