Adolescent Sexuality by Dr. Karen Rayne

This blog is an on-going conversation about adolescent sexuality, and all of the nuances and social issues inherent to the topic. I believe…that parents have to talk to their kids about sex…that everyone has sex, and should therefore know about sex…that sex is not all bad, even for teenagers. Read more on what I believe in my This I Believe page.

 

Peeping Tom or child porn?

The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals ruled that a man taking a picture up the inside of a 16-year-old girl’s skirt in public is not illegal.  How is this even possible?  Apparently he was charged as a Peeping Tom - and apparently that law only applies to places where someone can reasonably claim privacy - their home, the bathroom, etc.  Okay, okay, fine.  But what about taking pictures of a 16-year-old’s vagina?  Last time I checked that was illegal regardless of whether the 16-year-old knew about it or not!

    It seems like one has a reasonable expectation of privacy about one’s, well, privates.

    A couple of states, NY I think is one, is trying to fix the loophole.

    Which is stupid, because it’s only a loophole if you want it to be. Give this guy a jury trial and he’s in the pen for sure. grumble grumble
