Psycho Prosecutor Tries to Prosecute Breast-Feeding Picture as Kiddy Porn

Proving again that a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich, the Dallas Observer reports this bizarre story about a couple from Peru indicted for "sexual performance on a child," largely because of photos of the child breast-feeding.

The bizarre indictment reads: "to wit; actual lewd exhibition of...a portion of the female breast below the top of the areola, and the said defendant did and then employ, authorize and induce Rodrigo Fernandez, a child younger than 18 years of age, to engage in said sexual conduct and sexual performance."

What is the most perverse and disgusting thing in this case is that anyone could possibly view breast-feeding as a "sex act." If anyone needs to be locked up as a dangerous pervert in this case, it's the prosecutor. While the charges were dropped, Child "Protective" Services continues to hold the children, even though the lawyer appointed to represent them is of the opinion they should be released to their parents.

I'd like to blame the demented John Ashcroft for this, but it's strictly local, and the perpetrators in this case are the imbeciles on the grand jury and the prosecutor, Bill Hill, who only dropped charges after being humiliated in the Dallas Observer for his insanity in attempting to prosecute such bogus charges.
