Reading, Writing & Raw Sex: Boy Brings Porn to Class on PSP

Are you 14 and plagued by raging hormones?

Forget stashing porn under the mattress; Mom and Dad already know to look there. Instead, succumb to the technological advancements of the twenty-first century and hide it on your Sony PlayStation Portable(PSP). Yes, PSP users have found they can download or transfer digital multimedia to the popular handheld gaming system. All kinds of digital multimedia.

According to the Bismarck Tribune, a fourteen-year-old North Dakota connoisseur of adult entertainment was cited with a class C felony last week after sharing his digital goods with fellow students. One of them tattled and the boy was charged with promoting obscenity to minors.

He was also cited with simple assault for using a key to scratch the fellow student who told school officials he had dirty pictures on his PSP.

AE: As a juvenile, it's very unlikely the boy will bear the full brunt of the law (up to five years imprisonment and/or a $5000 fine). Of course we don't know all of the circumstances, but from a distance, one wonders whether the response was a bit heavy-handed. Confiscation, counseling and suspension seem like more reasonable approaches to the issue. Then again, his retaliation against the tattling student surely didn't help his cause.
