A 16-year-old Singaporean male student has been apprehended on charges of possessing child pornography, allegedly obtained from a 17-year-old girl’s digital device.
He faces two charges; disseminating lewd material and producing child pornography. While he admits to distributing the lewd material, he denies the more serious accusation of creating explicit child pornography. Due to his young age, he will be confined to a specialized school instead of regular detention.
Child pornography cases stemming from digital devices pose a novel challenge worldwide. For instance, California initially lacked specific laws addressing direct victim identification in such cases. However, subsequent legal amendments now encompass all pornographic content involving minors.
