Man Uses Facebook To Share Nude Photos With Church Members

Saturday, June 26, 2010

 

This is horrible. In Lexington, NC, a former member of Sonlight Baptist Church in Lexington sent out friend requests to church to dozens of church members. Some of these members were children. The pictures and videos on this man's Facebook page were nudes and some showed his genitals.

When the church realized what was going on, they called all the members of the church. The Assistant Pastor Scott Steed declined to name the church member that sent out the friend requests. Police officials say that no charges can be filed unless children that saw the pictures step forward. The page has since been taken down.

This reiterates the importance of monitoring your child's computer usage. It's also extremely important to monitor the Facebook activity of your child. Even if the person you are accepting as a friend on Facebook is someone you are acquainted with, your child may not be safe accepting him or her as a friend.

Admittedly, my initial reaction was to laugh (sorry everyone) and then shake my head. Some people...

The video seems pretty "low key" and it's unclear whether the person concerned deliberately intended to make certain pictures available or whether he simply forgot that they were in his selection of photos.

I don't think it qualifies him as a
paedophile because he wasn't specifically targeting children.

Regardless... It takes a certain level of stupidity to put nude photos on the web (unless I guess, you're in a business that makes money from it) but it's a whole new level of stupidity to do it on facebook.
