The latest case
comes from Iowa, where the state's supreme court just upheld
the 2005 conviction and sentence of Jorge Canal. While he was 18,
a 14-year-old female friend asked Canal to send her a picture of
his penis. Even the Iowa Supreme Court acknowledges that the
photo was at her request, that the two weren't romantically
involved, and that the whole exchange was intended to be a joke.
Nevertheless, it upheld Canal's conviction and sentence, which
comes with the requirement that he register as a sex offender,
likely for the rest of his life.
