(MYFOX NATIONAL) – An Australian man has admitted to having pornographic images of cartoon characters, including those from The Simpsons and The Powerpuffs Girls, and now must register as a sex offender, reported The Queensland Times .
28-year-old Kurt James Milner of North South Wales, Australia, will have to report to police after pleading guilty to possessing the images.
In January 2008 police went to Milner's house after receiving a tip about disturbing material. Milner did not allow the police to search his computer at first, but later handed over the machine. Police forensic experts recovered 64 images of cartoon child exploitation material in the machine's recycle bin.
Milner told police he downloaded the images to show them to his friend "because he believed they were funny," according to the newspaper report. The images depicted figures from The Simpsons, The Powerpuff Girls and The Incredibles in sexually explicit positions.
Ars technicia reported that the Australian Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that sexually explicit illustrations of children qualify as child pornography.
Milner received a suspended sentence and had to post a bond. In 2003 Milner was convicted possessing child exploitation material of actual children.
In 2008 another child pornography case also featuring characters from The Simpsons, an Australian judge ruled that though the cartoons may not be realistic depictions of children, they should still be considered people and therefore could be ruled as child pornography .
Though not consdered pornography, cartoon mother Marge Simpson recently graced the cover of Playboy magazine.
So I guess that cartoon of Bart that's been on the internet for years, bending over and mooning the world is porn?
no.. Child porn is defined as
Child pornography is the visual representation of minors under the age of 18 engaged in sexual activity or the visual representation of minors engaging in lewd or erotic behavior designed to arouse the viewer's sexual interest.
Since that cartoon was not designed to arouse the viewers sexual interest nor is he engaged in sexual activity, it most likely would be considered child porn..
that's really creepy. why would you have porn involving the powerpuff girls? they are suppose to be in kindergarten. i know they are cartoons but i still find it really disgusting.
This stuff is just plain bizarre. Ok guys, watch what porn cartoon's you pass around. What the hek is next. Cartoons really now! Is this really considered child porn, what was the intent of this creep.

YUPPERS Judicial has finally gone off the deep end. Too bad they ruled insane asylums were illegal, they might have been well cared for if not for stepping in their own mines laid.
