Supreme Court to consider appeal in child porn case that predates federal child porn law

CNSNews: “‘This is a child pornography case that does not involve a child,’ Peel’s lawyers told the court in their brief. They are claiming violations of the First Amendment and of the Constitution’s bar against ex post facto convictions for violating laws that were not in place when an alleged crime occurred.”

United States v. Peel, No. 07-3933 (7th Cir. Feb. 12, 2010)
