BOISE, Idaho - A former middle school teacher in Meridian has pleaded guilty to possession of visual representations of child sex abuse.

The U.S. Attorney's office said Steven Kutzner, 33, had downloaded more than 70 animated cartoon pornographic images on his computer. Many of them depicted child characters from The Simpsons.

Kutzner was a former middle school teacher at Lake Hazel Middle School in Meridian. He resigned immediately after the search warrant was served at his home.

Kutzner will be sentenced Jan. 5, 2011. He faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000.

Strange one this, its a cartoon but I guess its still kiddy cartoons. It can't be classed as sex abuse if its a cartoon though lol
(before anyone thinks it, NO I don't have any interest in this kind of thing lol)

Personally, I think it's stupid. Obviously real child porn is wrong, disturbing, and perverse. Children are exploited in the making of it obviously and therein lies the problem. Making the possession of such material is done largely to protect kids from those who would make it and decrease the demand for it at the same time. However, if some sicko wants to watch animation kiddy porn, then that should be his business since no actual children are involved. Besides, I've seen some anime porn of Fred and Wilma and it didn't make me horny at all, just made me laugh my ass off. I could see where this kind of stuff might have a similar effect or purpose, especially if no other such kind of kid porn was found on the guys computer. Oh well, it would sure suck to be him.

Was thinking the same thing. I've seen adds with cartoons many times and what about some anime. I'm thinking its because he was a middle school teacher

How do they even know you have that on your computer? Big brother, or a snitch?

@bobbintb: Perfect Argument. You could also argue that Lisa, as well as the other Simpsons are much further from being human than any Unicellular - and it's not illegal to watch them have sex regardless of their age.

Totally crazy that verdict. Simpsons porn isn't pron at all, it's not very funny, not arousing in any kind and censorship there is like censoring the thoughts of the cartoonist himself.
