simpsons child porn case

quote:

CARTOON characters are people too, a judge has ruled in the case of a man convicted over cartoons based on The Simpsons, in which children are shown having sex.

In the New South Wales Supreme Court today, Justice Michael Adams ruled that a fictional cartoon character was a "person" within the meaning of the relevant state and commonwealth laws.

Alan John McEwan was appealing his February conviction for possessing child pornography and using his computer to access child pornography.

"The alleged pornography comprised a series of cartoons depicting figures modelled on members of the television animated series The Simpsons," the judge said.

The cartoons showed characters such as Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson having sex.

McEwan was convicted and fined $3000 and placed on a good behaviour bond.

"In my view, the magistrate was correct in determining that, in respect of both the commonwealth and the NSW offences, the word 'person' included fictional or imaginary characters ...," the judge said.

"... The mere fact that the figure depicted departed from a realistic representation in some respects of a human being did not mean that such a figure was not a 'person'."

In dismissing the appeal, the judge ordered each party to pay its own legal costs in the first case dealing with the "difficult" issue.

not sure i agree with this. banning child abuse products is about preventing children from being harmed in the making of such products. i fail to see the victim here. not really any different to above-age actors pretending to be underage (ala recent SVU episode).

Animated gifs of Simpsons porn were floating around in the 90s/early 2000s.

To call a fictional animated character a 'person' is going way overboard, IMO.

But based on:

The dude is a pedo, so I don't give a shit. 3k and a pat on the backside probably turned the sick fucker on.

i thought that was rather ambiguous. if the 'child porn' they are referring to relates exclusively to the simpsons stuff, then i don't consider that child pornography. i mean, why appeal the charge for the cartoons if you've been caught with actual child pornography?

It said he was in the process of appealing a kiddy porn charge from February. Doesn't sound like the same case to me. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I'd definitely get six consecutive fvking life sentences in the US

Simpsons characters are identified as "persons" = burning alien cocoons depicts child murder
