Well, Rob, the quote from above is, "engaging in sexually explicit conduct". One MIGHT think that means you can render what would pass for a 10-year-old completely naked as long as, for example, s/he is just standing there. But put 2 of those 10-year-olds in the missionary position and you are in trouble. The $64,000 questions comes from what is in between. What, say for example, if you render what appears to be a 13-year-old girl looking in the mirror and cupping a breast to measure how she is developing, something I'm sure goes on quite a lot, and is therefore an innocent glimpse of a growing child's life. Some might find it gratuitous, others might look at it and see innocence. I'd hate to find myself in court with a bunch of stodgy hypocrits needing to satisfy their constituants (some judges and DA's are elected) at my expense. Therefore, I will never do any kind of render like this. Which, in my opinion, means my 1st amendment rights have just been trampled.
