Courtney Stodden just turned 18 and porn companies are making offers. She married her husband while he was 50 and she was 16. Do a search and look at her photos. OK, if he, as a 50 year old man was caught watching or downloading porn that included a 16 year old girl, he'd be a registered sex offender. But in some states it's legal to marry 16 years old no matter how old you are. So it's legal for him to have sex with a minor if she's his wife but he would be convicted if caught watching her in porn or sex but not married?

First of all, I don't believe for a second that she is only 18. If you look at her face she looks like about 8 miles of bad road. I'd be willing to bet she's at least in her 20s. She looks too aged to be a teenager. Reminds me of a certain analogy to a saddle...

Whether or not he would be convicted depends on the state; in many states 16 is the age of consent.

Yes, age of consent is sixteen in some places, however, if he were viewing pornographic videos or photos at home online that included girls as young as 16, he'd be convicted of child porn. However, it's legal for him to have sex with a 16 year old girl? This is the part I just don't understand.

I believe its because the consent laws are by state but the porn laws are Federal...mostly due to.the material going past state lines.

Just turned 18? I googled images of her and didn't see even one that she appeared younger than 30's. What am I missing? There is nothing youthful about her.

Interesting thread.

Weid angle that if he married her when she was 16 then made a video of them having sex, not for distribution but just for whatever reasons people make personal pornos (and god bless 'em for all the free internet content they generate) can he be charged with some sort of child pornography violation? That seems absurd if he could.

An an aside, I agree with others on that chick. She looks wrecked for 16 years old:
