Felony "distributing pornographic material" charges for "stealing porn off customer's phone" - GoFuckYourself.com

Gonzalez was arrested by St. George Police Tuesday morning on charges of felony distribution of pornography.

?St. George city police was contacted by a woman who had taken her cell phone into a local cell phone store for an upgrade,? police Sgt. Sam Despain said. ?Gonzales was an employee at this store.?

As Gonzales worked on the cell phone, Despain said, he saw some personal and graphic pictures that were on the woman?s phone.

?Mr. Gonzales then proceeded to send those pictures to himself,? Despain said, ?without the permission of the owner of the cell phone.?

The woman then went to the police with her concern, telling them what had taken place at the cell phone store.

?Mr. Gonzales was interviewed and subsequently arrested this morning for distributing that material,? Despain said Tuesday.

Gonzales was charged with one count for each image that he sent to himself, amounting to seven counts of distribution of pornography, all third-degree felonies.

Dumb on his part and dumb on her part. They should both be cited for being fucking idiots.

I know this is reaching, but couldn't she be arrested for the manufacture of porn without a license? I mean the guy was only a distributor, not the creator. I say charge them both and hope they never procreate.

I just thought the charges were insane. Here's an update:

The cell phone store employee arrested Tuesday morning by St. George Police, and charged with seven counts of distribution of pornography, all third-degree felonies, has had his charges dismissed by the Washington County Attorney?s Office...because the actions of Gonzales did not meet the felony statute requirements for distribution of pornography...charges have been amended to theft-repair or service, a class-B misdemeanor; and computer crime ? under $500, a class-B misdemeanor.
Felony porn charges dismissed against phone store employee, new charges

Now that's better!
