The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed Wednesday that it's illegal to create realistic-looking child pornography by digitally grafting images of children and adults, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
A defendant had argued that images found on his computer did not qualify as child porn.
"Unfortunately, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out a federal law prohibiting child porn and created a gray area in the law," said Daniel Weiss, senior analyst for media and sexuality for Focus on the Family Action. "The Ohio court made a clearer distinction between what is legal and what is not. But, in the end, any pornography that sexualizes children is harmful, period."
