Ignorance of the law is not a defense against a criminal act. The girl knew that posting nude pics of herself was illegal or at the very least wrong, I can assure you of that.

On the other hand, there is also the case of the 17y/o that had nude pics of his 16 y/o ex g/f on his cell phone that may be charged with child porn also. He does not deserve the sex crime tag for the rest of his life either.

My final point. I am sick of all this "he just made a mistake" BS that I hear in the media and on these forums(not just this one). If you know you are doing something illegal then you need to be punished for it. I dont care if it was a first offense or not, you are still in the wrong. Vick made a mistake so he should be treated more lenient. Hogan's was a first offense so he should be treated lenient. This chick was a first offense. Where does it end? Its about time that you pay the price for your transgressions, whether you have been caught before or not.
