A Salt Lake City mother was arrested for shopping the face of one of her daughters classmates onto a picture of a woman "engaged" with a dog and then putting the pictures around the school.

Danette Stark, Mother, Creates Obscene Image of 13-Year-Old as Retaliation, Say Cops - Crimesider - CBS News

She has been charged with 18 counts of "sexual exploitation of a minor" however there is already talk in the local media that that will not stick, citing a New Hampshire Supreme Court ruling which overturned a conviction of a camp counselor who morphed the heads of his campers onto "adult models", because the pictures did not depict the parts of the minors.

Woman

Stark indicates she created the fliers for "perceived wrongs".

Of the 30 that were posted, 12 fliers are still unaccounted for.

Even if the criminal charges do not stick, she could still face a civil suit for libel and defamation of character...

To say nothing of any possible retaliation from the community itself. Some people...

She posted the images in the school? Can't she still face charges for exposing minors to pornography?

Ah! Missed that part. In GA it would stick... don't know about Utah.

I figure they at least have her for possession and distribution of bestiality and exposing minors to pornography.

Possessing beastiality isn't a crime, in and of itself. Actually PERFORMING the act, however, is.

Lemme see what Utah law says... Nice! They've got something similar...

I'm pretty sure Utah, being the puritan of all puritan states would have a law addressing it.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Nice way to set an example for your kids.
