The fury of the abused against any and all representation of child abuse is clearly well founded and easy to sympathize with. So it is with fury against any crime of violence ... a child abuse is a crime of violence. It isn't sexual abuse of a child that is the focus of the laws in this matter, it is the CAMERA ANGLE used to portray it. There are numerous examples of major motion pictures that "depict" sexual activity of persons under the legal age ... they just don't show Tab A being inserted in Slot B. The penalty for the right camera angle can be an Oscar, and the wrong camera angle ... 15 years in the slammer! It is arbitrary, capricious, cruel and unusual punishment ...as well as counter productive on the real problem .... child abuse in the real world.
