He tells the officers his daughter is already asleep, and that he had hoped they could help talk to her about the seriousness of the situation. The female officer quickly tells him that his daughter could be charged with creating sexually explicit content.

The father protests and says that she is a child who was manipulated by an adult, according to the police report and the father’s TikTok video. The officer asks him if she was taking pictures, and the father ends the conversation.

In audio of the body camera footage, the female officer can be heard asserting again as she walks away from the house, “She’s taking pictures of herself naked. She’s creating child porn.”

This is the same fucking logic groomers use...

Once they get anything they shouldn't have, they blame the victim and blackmail them into more and more stuff.

Even if they do t get anything more, the child would be less likely to tell anyone.

It's fucking insane that the issue isn't these cops, the actual law is set up like this, and there's no way to know how often it prevents report.

Well you see tracking down sex offenders is difficult. But persecuting under aged girls is much easier, so the police took that route. (I wish I was joking. But police are unbelievably bad at catching criminals)

The police can't even be bothered to process rape kits so states just ban abortion to solve the rape problem in America.

Standard same old cop bullshit. They are too lazy to look for the actual bad guy so they try to make the victim (hey she's right here already!) into a criminal they can charge with some crime, so they can pat themselves on the back as the great Heroes of the community.
