The strangest thing about this is that the boy is considered both the victim and the perpetrator of the crime. The teen is facing two felony charges, for possession of child pornography and manufacturing child pornography The only thing he's being charged with is manufacturing and possessing pictures of himself. These laws obviously exist to protect children from predators and in this case, the district attorney is saying that he is both the child and the predator. It's a preposterous (though not unprecedented) use of these laws. It's quite clear the the mother doesn't approve of this relationship and she is using the law to clamp down on it. There may be something about the relationship that offends some people's sensibilities (ex: interclass or interracial dating) which is providing the DA cover to do this nonsense.
