OP Update: No Nude Photos to be Used in Manassas Sexting Case
At today's hearing, prosecutors confirmed to the judge that not only won't they be acting on the second search warrant (seeking photos of the teen's erect penis for video comparison purposes), but they won't be using the genitalia photos they obtained under the first search warrant.
There's not much in the first search warrant that hasn't already been covered in this thread's media snips, but it has been released (the second one is still sealed). WARRANT 1, DATED 03 JUNE 14 (at bottom of article): http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/loca...it-photos/
So, today, prosecutors acknowledged taking photos of the boys genitalia earlier on in the case, even though last week Prince William County Commonwealth's Attorney Paul Ebert had disputed the boy's claim (via his aunt) that such photos existed. "The allegations lack credibility," Ebert said.
LE looks idiotic on this one. Either the police and the DA's office aren't in synch or the prosecutor was full of it when he denied knowledge of any such photos.
Anyway, the teen is still charged with felony manufacture and distribution of child pornography and he'll face those charges in court on August 1st.
