Suppose someone downloads a video of an 18+ year-old girl claiming to be 16. Then years later a computer repair guy finds it and calls the cops, and the cpu owner can't remember where he got the video. In the end a jury is presented with a porn video of a girl claiming to be 16. What happens then?

The only reason I bring this up is because I was going through some newsgroup archives the other day and came across a story of a guy who was caught with several xxx pics of girls who the police thought where between 16-20 in appearance, but there was no way of knowing who they really where. So they slapped him with a possession of CP charge. He took a plea bargain (fines, cpu taken, sex offender list) because it would have cost $6,000 to have a professional testify what he thought their ages were.

Now just imagine if this guy had been caught with one of the said videos. You can put a professional on the stand all you want. The bottom line is the girl in the video says she's underage. You never know what a jury will do.

This stuff should NOT be spread around for obvious reasons.
