Submission + - Teen, preteen 'model' sites busted

computational super writes: MSN is carrying the story of the federal arrest of the operators of what they refer to as a "preteen modeling site". The article refers to 'provocative' photos of kids, but goes on to say that "There are no semi-nude or nude images." From the article, it sounds to me like the operators were bending, but not quite breaking, US law. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
