Autoexploitation

Eugene Volokh links to news that police have brought up a Latrobe, PA, resident on child porn charges for circulating photos of a 15-year-old girl on the Internet. Which sounds like good news… except the person they've charged is the 15-year-old girl, who uploaded the photos herself. Now, I don't know the details; probably the girl could use a little counseling if, at that age, she's shooting strangers in chat rooms pics of "herself in various states of undress and performing a variety of sexual acts." But it seems a touch bizarre to punish her for exploiting… herself.
