> Police spoke with Kitna. They say he recalled sharing two images but, thought they were "legal" since he discovered them online.

Because nobody would do illegal things online. I can hear it now, him convincing detectives he was simply browsing the totally legitimate 4chan like any other day and collected these age authenticated images.

I mean it's definitely possible. We hear CSAM and assume it's to do with obvious children, but it also includes 16-17 year olds and in that age range it's not always possible to tell the difference. That, plus the proliferation of self made pornography can make for something of a minefield. I'd bet my left arm that there's an uncomfortable amount of CSAM floating around on reddit or anywhere else that doesn't have a robust age verification process.

This guy is probably a scumbag, but it's also quite possible that he didn't actually know that the persons were underage. Be careful out there.

Bruh in high-school people would literally make accounts about the school and leak peoples nudes on Instagram. It was huuuuge and happened a lot in my city and basically nothing ever happened. Theyd make a page people would dm them nudes of other people and theyd post it, itd get reported, and theyd make a new one but go private. Its insane. I cant imagine how much shit there is out there of 14-17 year olds.
