On the legal terminology side of things? I have a friend that spent 8 years in prison for owning and distrubuting pornagraphic material depicting a minor. We've been friends for 30 years. I didn't stop being friends with him when he came out as gay, which was not acceptable during that time (especially in the south), so I don't wanna stop now. We've been through a lot together and he did his time in prison.

I'm just curious, how young were the minors in the porn, but i don't want to ask him something like that. If they were little kids, that would be difficult to look past. Underage minors as in 16 or 17 is more forgivable. The younger the worse.

Does the terminology I gave in the op give any indication? If they were actual little kids would the terminolgy had said child pornography, or is minor a catch all for anyone under 18, including little kids?

I'm not a lawyer or anything, so the terms might not be as concrete as I am imagining them to be. The best course of action in my opinion would be to call your friend a disgusting pedophile and block his number.

Legally and morally, no

One of my best friends I grew up with got sentenced to 14 years several years back for a real serious sex offense a while back. It's a hard thing to come to grips with. You think you know someone, then something horrible happens and everything you thought you knew was a lie.

An actual answer on the terminology would be cool. Surely someone knows the legal aspect. I guess I should have asked somewhere else?

"Minor" is a catch all term, so it's not going to tell you anything about the ages of those in the material he got prosecuted for.

Thank you for actually answering.

He's always been morally gray. Like he'd still shit from Wal-Mart all the time, but I never expected something like this.

That's uh. That's not morally gray. That's just theft.

Sorry if so few of us are helping you figure out what kind of child porn your friend was distributing. I think most of us are kind of mind blown that you are even making an effort to remain friends with a piece of shit like that.

I don't know why you thought making this topic was a good idea

I figured people could maybe be big enough just answer the legal question.

Admittedly, it's my fault for giving too much detail.

Can we talk about that morally gray thing some more? Did you say that on purpose as a reference to WoW? Because morally gray does not cover shoplifting and distributing child pornography.

That's the bad shit.

the legal aspect is irrelevant, it doesn't take more than 2 braincells that distributing child porn is wrong full stop no matter what mental gymnastics you can come up with

Theres r/legaladvice if you really must know but it sounds like you should just cut ties with him. Arent you a father as well?

I am. 2 beautifuls. I wouldn't let him near them, if that's what you're thinking.

I know he did his time and is regretful of what happened. And I don't believe A person's past should bury them their whole life, especially if they genuinely want to change. Despite that, I still couldn't let my kids around someone like that

To me, there's an enormous moral difference between a late teen and a 5 year old. Both are bad, obviously, but 1 is just sickining.
