"They called me a child pornographer"

Silosighbin

Here's an interesting account of a family's struggle with the law and society. He took pictures of his family skinny-dipping on a camping, in a non-malicious way and upon getting the said photo's developed, is accused of child pornography distribution.


It's an interesting read, but long. If anything it highlights some of the kinks in the legal system and how such unjust accusations of child abuse can effect ones reputation irreversibly. Worth a read.

Reminds Rolf of when Rolf was a middle aged man, back in the mid 1530's, all Rolf had to do was accuse a person of being a Witch and the Inquisition would come knocking.

They were looking for crypto-jews and heretics then, not really witches per se.

Witchcraft being a heresy, either way, Rolf agrees, failed to see the point, you have.

Heresy as in anything and everything. Neighbors denounced each other to get free shit. They usually said they were devil worshippers, didn't go to church, or wouldn't eat pork and thus were cryptojews.
