His parents are defending him. Some authorities want him to pay for the damage his party caused.

He's been on the news and in the media a lot of the last few days. The kid is an absolute fucking wanker and he needs to learn a few lessons in life that his parents obviously haven't been competent enough to teach him. There's nothing heroic about his actions as far as I'm concerned.

I doubt he'll be convicted of child pornography. I'm sure they'll push it in court, but the jury will think about the fact that he's underage himself and taking pictures of his peers and so they'll find him not guilty. I'd lay money on it. Remember that the law is one thing, but the average person on the street will interpret it as another and those people on the jury will think back to when they were this boys age and they'll take that into consideration when they make their decision.

I think they'll give him some community service work to do and maybe a fine which his parents will probably pay, and next year he'll do the same stupid thing again.
