Man faces 10 years in prison for downloading Simpsons porn
A former middle school teacher in Idaho is facing up to 10 years in prison for downloading Simpsons porn—that is, pornographic cartoons depicting child characters from The Simpsons engaged in sexual acts. After a search warrant led to the discovery of more than 70 such images on his computer, 33-year-old Steven Kutzner immediately resigned and pled guilty at a subsequent hearing. Unfortunately for him, this case has a precedent: In 2008, an Australian court handed down a landmark ruling when it decided that Simpsons porn counts as child pornography; earlier this year, another man was found to have a collection of pornographic drawings featuring The Simpsons, The Powerpuff Girls, and The Incredibles, and was forced to register as a sex offender.
