...the statute does not penalize the mens rea of the speaker, but instead criminalizes the speaker based on the mens rea of the audience. Under the statute, what matters is not the speaker’s intent, but instead the belief or speculation of his or her audience as to what the speaker seeks to sell, buy or barter.

Cite. Emphasis mine.
Child pornography is a vile crime, but I disagree with the SCOTUS' decision that I can be found guilty of a crime for which no other evidence exists, save the opinion of another person.
