A 15-year-old Latrobe girl has been arrested for allegedly taking sexually explicit photos of herself and posting them on the Internet.

State police at Greensburg said the girl took photos of herself in various states of undress and performed a variety of sexual acts. She then sent them to people she met in chat rooms on the Internet.

The computer was seized by police, who conducted a forensic investigation and found dozens of photographs of the juvenile stored on the hard drive. The investigation is continuing as state police try to identify all the people who received photos from the girl.

Police said the girl was charged with possession and dissemination of child pornography. A hearing date has not been set.

1. So if the purpose of the law is prevent a child from being exploited...

and the child self-posted the pictures, is she charged with exploiting herself? And should she, as perpetrator, have to pay compensation to herself, as victim?

Boy, this is just too twisted! Is the law then protecting her from herself, I suppose?

2. Interesting business plan.

Transmit underage pictures of yourself via the internet, sue your ISP for transmitting child pornography.

does she have to register herself as a sex offender?
