There won't be a public release of the Carrie Prejean sex tape: for it is child pornography.
The story of the Carrie Prejean sex tape is pretty well known by now. The former Miss California was suing pageant organisers and they were suing her. Then, at a crucial moment in the negotiations lawers were able to show a sex tape of Carrie Prejean to her and her lawyers, showing that she had breached the pageant rules about not having been photographed nude (or of course, anything further) before entering the contest.
However, there is something more that still can be said about the Prejean sex tape. It's not about to make it to a video store near you nor is anyone (at least anyone identifiable) about to release it on the web. And even if it is, you most certainly should not try watching it, for to do so would make you a sex offender. For the Carrie Prejean sex tape is in fact child pornography.
Dethroned beauty queen Carrie Prejean calls an X-rated sex video of herself "the biggest mistake of my life."
Prejean, the former Miss California USA, says she made the sex flick of herself alone when she was 17, for an ex-boyfriend.
You've got to be 18 to exercise your constitutionally protetcted rights to free speech by stripping off and having sex of any kind on camera. If you're a day below that age then it isn't free speech, it's child pornography. And those who sell it, those who distribute it and even, in certain places, those who watch it inadvertently can go to jail.
All of which leaves open an intriguing option for Carrie Prejean herself if she wishes to pursue it. If it really is true that the pageant's lawyers played the tape in that meeting, rather than just revealing its existence, then they themselves are guilty of possession of (and quite possibly production of, given the way the law works about how computers reproduce images as they play them) child pornography. Not that this would earn her any money, but seeing them go down for years as a result would be some sort of revenge, wouldn't it?

I won't believe it until I see it!
If she produced it, then she created it. Technically, she is a child pornographer.
Prejean is the only person who knowingly produced and distributed child pornography.
"18 U.S.C. § 1466A Any person who ... knowingly produces, distributes, receives, or possesses with intent to distribute, a visual depiction of any kind ... that depicts a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct ... shall be subject to the penalties..."
"Prejean is the only person who knowingly produced"
Thanks for that. I was assuming that US law was similar to that in most European countries. The "knowingly" is not part of the law over there. You can be (and many are) for "unknowingly" reproducing or distributing.
My bad.
Question. Did SHE "distribute" it pr did her boyfriend? May be hard to prove she did.
People...are you serious? Really, where is the real news story on this page. Did I miss something?
Yeah well if she doesn't face a judge over this it will be a great hypocrisy of the legal system, especially when they are charging minors as adults for "Sexting". If this woman is sparred the bullet of the law only because she is a quasi celebrity then we need to change how we prosecute people for Child Pornography.
If she were to go to trial, so should her boyfriend and everyone else involved in this who made this tape available enough to reach the pageant officials.
But her boyfriend states she was well over 18 when she did the video(s). If she wasn't, she should be prosecuted.
Finally after looking for the Carrie Prejean Sextape for hours...
