PA Superior Court Gets it Right – Viewing Child Porn is Illegal in Pennsylvania

(From an AFA of PA release): Last week’s decision by the full Pennsylvania Superior Court reversed the bad November decision by a three-judge panel. Under that decision one could legally view child porn on the Internet as long as the images were not intentionally saved on the computer.

“Child pornography victimizes children and fuels the minds of potential child molesters, it still boggles the mind that three judges here in Pennsylvania could rule that simply because someone did not know the images were being automatically stored on a computer he would be free of any wrongdoing even while intentionally seeking and viewing child porn,” commented Diane Gramley, president of the AFA of PA.
