I have not seen the tape on the video, nor do I have any intention of looking for it. If she was seventeen at the time it was done, as it is alleged, seeing it could potentially be child pornography a crime. Downloading it onto your computer might also be a crime.

There is another interesting issue. Some minors have been charged with "sexting"-- sending text message pics of themselves. That can be prosecuted as distributing child pornography. Will Prejean be charged?

Hopefully not. Let's just move on...
