I think more nuanced question--at what point should consent transfer from the legal guardian to the individual?
In the age of the internet, should consent given on behalf of a minor be in perpetuity?
- jasonhansel 5y agoI don't think that consent by a legal guardian is ever sufficient in this sort of case. Distributing nude images of a person should require the consent of that person, not (just) that of a legal guardian.

- balls187 5y agoIANAL, but isn't that why the designation of legal guardian exists--to allow someone else to make decisions on behalf of someone else? I think the point you are trying to make is that a legal guardian cannot offer consent that is unlawful, as such consent would not be valid. Perhaps that is the angle the plantiff is going for--that any oral consent given is unlawful and voided because the image was used in a pornographic way.
