The widespread misperception of the phrase "child porn" is also a problem here. The public automatically equates "child porn" with "preteen child molestation", and will support all sorts of draconian police actions against those accused of it. They don't realize that publicity seeking cops will use an image that *might be* a 17 year old posing solo to effectively make someone guilty until proven innocent, justify arrests, public defamation, and asset seizures.
I would guess that the vast majority of adult webmasters have pictures on their hard drive that *could be* of a mature 16-17 year old. Even if he knows you ultimately cannot be convicted, a cop with a vendetta can use that image as probable cause to fuck up your world in so many ways its scary just thinking about it.
