Sex Private Teen

⚡ 👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 INFORMATION AVAILABLE CLICK HERE 👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻

Fayetteville, North Carolina, cops have charged 17-year-old Cormega Copening with sexual exploitation of a minor—his girlfriend, who is the same age—because the couple sent each other nude photos of themselves during their relationship.
There's no evidence the photos were ever sent to anyone else, and police only became aware of them because they searched Copening's phone for unrelated reasons that haven't been specified. Even so, the teen—formerly the starting quarterback at his high school—faces decades on the Sex Offender Registry and up to ten years behind bars if convicted. He's also been benched from the team while Jack Britt High School investigates the matter.
Copening's girlfriend—who remains unnamed in the news articles—is also facing charges, ABC11 reported.
These teen-sexting witch hunts are almost always outrageous; they conflate child pornography with something far less sinister. It's perfectly normal—and wildly common—for kids to express an interest in sex. Should authority figures discourage underage sexting? Sure. Should they ruin kids' lives for doing it anyway? Absolutely not.
But Copening's situation is more outrageous than most. As far as I can tell, the pictures weren't shared with anyone else—this isn't a case where a boy texted a girl's nude photos to all of his friends and caused her some considerable public humiliation. The photos were private, and remained that way, until the cops got hold of them. If there's public humiliation here, police intervention is the cause.
Consider as well that Copening reciprocated with photos of his own. Does not a mutual, voluntary exchange of photos undercut the notion that "sexual exploitation" is a factor here? It's more than a little ridiculous to accuse these two of exploiting each other—although this is precisely what the authorities are doing, I presume (the specific charges against the girlfriend were not reported).
Lastly, it bears repeating that these teens were 17. If they had waited until they were 18 to send the photos, no crime would have occurred. Eighteen-year-olds are recognized as fully-autonomous sexual adults. Kylie Jenner, who just turned 18, has been inundated with requests to make a sex tape (indeed, filmmakers began making these requests even before she turned 18). The law, by its very nature, permits no nuance: you are 18, or you're not. But it's ridiculous to think that teens are magically transformed into adults on their 18th birthday. Many of them—perhaps Copening and his girlfriend—might be ready for mature relationships that involve sex (or, at least, sexy pictures) prior to the government's randomly-selected date.
There's one more disturbing angle to this story. If Copening is too young to send pictures of his own body, is he not also too young to be made a social pariah? Don't news agencies often withhold publication of the names of crime victims when they are underage? Copening is a crime victim, according to the police, but multiple local news agencies reported his name and the full situation. They reported on his suspension from the high school football team. They showed his headshot. They pointed out the likelihood that he will have to register as a sex offender.
The criminal charges and possible jail time are the worst consequences of the police investigation, but the smearing of Copening's name and ruining of his high school experience are also unfortunate outcomes—each of them much worse than the harm from a nude photo swap that would have never come to light if the cops had minded their own business.

This outrageous article questions one of the most basic premises of our great nation’s criminal justice system: that the letter of the law must be applied to all criminal conduct, so that we can populate our penal colonies with men and women of all ages and from all walks of life. The author makes much of the fact that these culprits were almost 18 years old. But they were not 18, and so must be punished for any and all crimes that they may have committed. No one, for example, would dream of excusing a devious, and highly inappropriate, act of criminal impersonation on the grounds that it was “almost” satirical. Such acts are either clearly satirical, or they are not, in which case they cross the line into the rankest form of criminality and must be punished with forced labor and internment.

God, I miss being a teen and being exploited by Lori R – a Junior who molested me when I was a freshman. Yes, I still remember – it was THAT good…
Of course, we didn’t have the cell phones and the sexting….she actually had to physically…do things. Nasty, naughty, wonderful things. To me. In person.
And this inspired your life’s work as a cougar hunter, right?
Your confession is appreciated. The police will be along shortly, you monster.
Well, the girl crying in the bathroom for half an hour afterwards while saying her Hail Marys definitely stuck in his mind.
They always are, it seems. FACT: Naughty Catholic girls are the worlds oldest meme in continuous use.
Probably a good 2 minutes, over five times in a ten minute period.
I remember the first time I got molested by another 17 year old. I suppose just remembering is the functional equivalent of looking at child pron.
Lori Rothman? If so, you’re one lucky bastard.
Copening’s girlfriend?who remains unnamed in the news articles?is also facing charges, ABC11 reported.
Copening found an opening, amirite?
No. It’s because Cormega Copening is not white and it’s possible his girlfriend is. This is NC afterall.
There have been many white boys prosecuted for this nonsense. He’s being persecuted for being born male and then behaving like a typical male.
Does not a mutual, voluntary exchange of photos undercut the notion that “sexual exploitation” is a factor here?
It does not matter one whit to these authoritarian assholes.
In Mexico the age of consent is 12, as is the case in most of Latin America. You would think with the increasing Hispanic influence in this country, perhaps the laws would be evolving — but, knowing the Obama administration record, they’re probably more likely to raise the consent age to 26.
I realize Cormega is black; is his girlfriend actually white? Do you have a link?
It took me 15 seconds to find his girlfriend!

I have to wonder if maybe this is a move to eliminate the starting QB of a rival HS?
My observations of people that belong to that many organizations and hold positions within them have led me to believe that they are almost always assholes.
That too, I just noticed the HS athletic association membership and wondered if maybe there was maybe a conflict of interest there.
High School Athletic Officials Association
He’s a sports official – umpire, referee, or similar. Certainly sworn to objective enforcement of the rules of the game.
IOW a cop for HS sports. I guess he can’t get enough AUTHORITAH boner in his day job.
If the cops don’t charge them with something, how can they argue that they’re legitimately passing the photos around to each other?
mkay, I Sugarfreed it myself but still, what sort of files do you keep on you hard, I mean hard disk?
Now if he would just share his IP addresses and router password I’d be able to see his link.
He told Microsoft his first name was Robert?
It’s probably the IT folks who did that.
He goes by “Robert” with his own PC? That’s awful formal.
“Is it possible for two teens to sexually exploit each other?”
But of course they’re motivated by hormones. What motivates the overcharging in cases involving teenagers only – repeat, no adults involved?
What motivates the overcharging in cases involving teenagers only – repeat, no adults involved?
The need to get one’s AUTHORITAH boner on?
As a teen, I once had an offer to be exploited by two females teens. But a male teen friend and I had to agree to the two of us each exploiting the female teens together each first.
How dare they be sexually aware before their 18th birthday.
I could never get decent reception on mine.
My camera. I could never get reception on it. Cameras are supposed to take calls and connect to the internet, right?
Camera with a built in printer. It was ahead of its time.
OK, that right there should be a dead giveaway that this is just the plot of the next Thomas Pynchon novel
Or a bad comic, in which CC is actually the real-life indentity of the supervillain attempting to create the Omega Opening.
Or maybe there is just a really dirty joke about “opening” around here somewhere.
Except for the stupid laws, why should 17 year olds be discouraged from sending nudie pictures? Seems like a fine idea to me (as long as they accept the significant chance of the pictures getting out to a broader audience).
And teenagers should be sexually exploiting each other. As long as it is mutual, a little exploitation isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Because any sexual picture of someone under 18 is child pornography! Child pornography! As in pornography of children! And if the image is transported anywhere then it’s trafficking of child pornography! The children! Think of the children! Ohhhh! The children!
This is all so fucking stupid it boggles the mind.
Why should they even be allowed to see themselves naked?
We need to throw any parent who has a gay teenager living in their home in jail if they dare to have a mirror in the bathroom!!!!!
Exactly! They might get excited and molest themselves! Self-abuse!
“I hear that. I spent most of my teen years loving my body. ‘Course it was tough love, but…”
No one wants to hear about your ding-dong.
And as as long as they are neither fattys or uggos.
Cops are necessary but sometimes they just lack imagination. And memory. When we were young we’d brag about what we “got” with a girl. “Did you get BT?” etc… now the kids probably want proof. Remember “Carnal Knowledge?” “Bullshitter!” was the cry. Now they have a means of providing proof we would have used, had we been able to convince a girl to pose (“Of course I love you” usually worked). Kids are kids. Sex is sex. I wish they’d leave them kids alone. The dual exploitation of minors is particularly idiotic.
The cops probably remember not getting any, and are acting out of jealousy.
The sadism and cruelty of these absurd prosecutions honestly leaves no other conclusion. Nothing else makes sense, other than some kind of incredibly childish, petty jealousy and envy. It’s repulsive.
Christ, you bragged about your diseases?
Butt Turds are a disease? I thought they were how you took responsibility for the sin of eating.
Cops aren’t necessary in the way we have them today. What’s needed are services that provide physical security, investigation, dispute resolution, property reclamation, and tracking of wrongdoers. There is no reason at all this needs to be done through a tax-funded near-monopoly system.
I wish they’d leave them kids alone.
Because all in all, we’re all just bricks in the wall.
Yeah. This is what happens when the kids stop playing baseball and no longer equate further advancement to bases on the diamond.
I thought it had been ruled by the courts that nude photos of children as long as they were not posed in a sexually suggestive manner where not illegal pornography. I think Reason had an article years ago about some parents who got reported for taking pics of their toddlers in the bathtub.
That’s how it should be, but it all comes down to the discretion of the cops and the prosecutor. For instance, if the sight of your infant child in the bathtub gives the DA a chubby, then it’s automatically sexual and YOU will pay the price.
Now I know how to get revenge when my mother shows people my baby pictures.
And the DA gets to set up a private server at home to archive the aforementioned pictures for ………….future reference.
I guess the idea was that because they were a romantic couple, the pix were supposed to be sexually suggestive.
Of course if they’d simply seen each other nude, posed sexually or not, that wouldn’t be child pornography, because no -graphy. Doing it over a distance using writing technology made it illegal. If they’d done it over a distance using telescopes, OK. If they’d been playing doctor (or doing some club initiation thing or challenge) & sent each other nude pix w/o the romantic involvement, then OK, it’s child graphy but not porno.
“I never sent or received any exploitative texts/pics. The exploitative designation was added on later.”
People really need to learn (and this poor kid is learning the hard way) that there are a lot of people who take certain jobs specifically because it allows them to fuck up people’s lives. That’s what they want. They’re just looking for targets. And there is little better than a job in government, especially in law enforcement, for doing just that.
This is why, just to protect yourself, you should avoid cops and prosecutors and like at all costs. Shun them. Do anything you can to never, ever have contact with them.
Because they’re not all like this. But since you can never know when they are, and therefore there is a significant chance of encountering the bad ones, you have to treat them all that way. And they do nothing to change that (by weeding out the horrible ones in their midst). Which is probably an indicator that the bad ones are the majority.
Then there are assholes who want Chris Christie for Chief Executive/Prosecutor.
Remember, kids- sexting will ruin your life.
It’s like I told my stepson who is entering high school. “Stay away from drugs, kid. Not because drugs are bad. All the stories they’ve told you are lies. Thing is, if you get caught then it can ruin your life.” Then I listed off a bunch of the shit that follows someone around for the rest of their life when they have something drug related on their record. Also I reminded him that that shit about your record being sealed when you turn eighteen is also a lie.
Think we need to have a similar ‘talk’ regarding sexting.
Yep. One of my business partners has a son in HS so I am constantly inundating her with articles about drug war horrors. She is, at this point, satisfyingly terrified of the popos.
Her son, however, wants to go into criminal justice, so that may have back fired.
This is why I believe cops increasing get no respect and are seen as evil bastards by one and all.
On how many police cars have you see it … “To Protect and to Serve”. Who is being protected? Who is being served?
Guess we should be glad the evil bastards didn’t shoot them. What happened to the idea that the police might warn a violator with a minor transgression? Black, white, blue brown, green, or yellow, the police are now the enemy of the people and the shock troops of the new police state.
They protect and serve the public, which is everyone except any particular individual with whom they deal with at any given time. So when they do this shit they do it in good conscience because they’re protecting and serving everyone except the person whose life they ruin.
They are in general, protecting and serving the government, which may or may not at any given time benefit the public.
This is why, when a cop gets killed, my gut reaction is “what did he do to cause this”, or “he probably deserved it”. Unfortunate, I did not always feel this way.
They Protect and Serve themselves, for their pensions. That’s all they care about.
Heck, generations ago they were seen as evil bastards to be avoided. How much worse could that attitude have gotten?
“To Protect and Serve” is a cookbook. It’s a cookbook!
I’m having trouble accessing the link to Robby’s computer…
Did you try “Guest” as the password?
So let’s be clear about this. By age 17, you are mature enough to make the decision to enlist in the military to go kill and be killed, but you cannot take a naked picture of yourself or someone else because it’s exploitation.
But committing a crime as a minor ‘magically’ transforms that minor into an adult who is fully accountable for that crime. No amount of good behavior will enable a minor to be treated as an adult–but one ‘wrong’ action will.
“We seized his phone and while our investigators went through the phone they saw there were photos of himself and another person on the phone,” said Sgt. Sean Swain with the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.
And, by investigators, they mean everyone in the department. Fucking perverts.
There needs to be an app that auto-records and uploads any unauthorized use of your phone.
There’s no mention of what led to the phone being seized. Somebody ratted them out.
From the linked article, ABC11 reported:
Officers took his phone while investigating another incident.
Oh I bet. Probably had to go out and purchase a brand new 4k monitor in order to better view the “evidence” with.
There also needs to be a security app with three pass codes. One for letting you into the phone, one for a “privacy” mode that shows no personal information and hides significant files, and one that automatically wipes your device entierly and shuts down for 24-48 hours.
Great idea. But tha
