All hail our judicial system.

You've gotta be ing kidding me.

What "harmful effect" are these parents talking about?! The kids didn't even hear the song in the video.

Unbelievable.

[Muser]

He used video of minors without permission from the parents, that's gonna get you in trouble tbh.

[Cry Havoc]

Absolutely absurd. So you can be jailed for doing something that's not even illegal? Unless it's illegal to sing sexually explicit songs to empty public rooms, now?

Merits a slap on the wrist, at most.

Ah, so filming people on a beach (some minors) and uploading it to Youtube is now a felony unless you ask everyone for permission. Awesome.

I dunno what the law is in the USA, but over here it's strict as when it comes to photo's/videos of kids. I'm not saying I agree with it though.

Oh, ok.

Parents are ridiculously overprotective when it comes to the possible "exploitation" of their own, but still. This is ing stupid.

[Brutalis]

Wow. No way he gets 20 not with the public outcry and attention.

[redzero]

Hopefully, this man will stay far away from children--where his editing skills can't reach them.

So I guess everyone associated with Clerks deserves to spend 20 years in the clink now.

Maybe a twenty year stint would spark Kevin Smith's creativity.

Unbelievable you don't understand.

Did you miss the nuances?

He made a form of sexually explicit material that included children and without parental consent.

[ChumpDumper]

I can believe Wild Cobra would love this prosecution.

But it didn't include children.

Going by the direction of this , you might even be prosecuted for "distribution" of it because you just posted it on an internet forum

I actually agree with the strict limitations on filming/photographing kids in Europe, but it's not what he's charged with.

wow.. this is unbelieavable.. there's just no limit to how shallow people can get..

[CubanSucks]

There's not too many things that would motivate me to go out with signs, but this would definitely be one of them. THOSE PARENTS. This calls for some Tyler Durden type response

[BlackSwordsMan]

Only a matter of time before this pedo whips his out and s little thomas down the road.
