Hi, all,

I'm posting this thread in this section since most of the users that will read this section are male (at least genetically) and are most at risk.

I sent a PM and email to Eve earlier but it will likely be several hours yet before she even has a chance to look over the messages.

In my profession (senior management IT) I have had to deal with instances involving the FBI when inappropriate material was located on company systems or transported via company provided Internet.

There was a post earlier today from a young lady named "Ashlee". She posted a photo of herself. If she is the age she claims to be (16) then this photo would be considered "child pornography" by the US FBI, International Law, and probably the laws of most (if not all) developed nations.

It's important for everyone who viewed the photo to permanently delete it from your browser's cache. If you haven't viewed it, I strongly suggest you do not open the message. I may sound paranoid here but believe me, if the FBI or similar agency decides to pursue such a case they will absolutely parse through every file on any machine they suspect may contain the illegal material. The law enforcement community is deadly serious about this and having the material "innocently" is not protective.

It's up to Eve to decide how to handle Ashlee's posts and the replies. I'm just suggesting that everyone here be careful (especially the genetic men).

Thanks for listening...

Misty

Thank you for posting this. I also work in IT and have at least read articles that corroborate the kind of heavy-handed response you mention from law enforcement regarding under-age nudity. As they say, 16 will get you 20. I have never had to assist with a criminal investigation, yet, but I guess there is always a first time for everything.

Unfortunately, in posting a warning, you also cause at least some people to want to see what this forbidden image is.

Thank you for the warning Misty.

I hope this issue gets resolved quickly and without anyone being wrongly implicated.

I was wondering if it was a problem being that she is underage. I thought about how I would not post my pic if I were 16. I was going to say something but wasn't sure how to go about it. flag thread or post? I hope this gets addressed.
