A NEW South Wales woman who produced porn films featuring two 14-year-old girls has been found guilty of inciting them to perform sex acts.

Rebecca Jane Clarke, of Goulburn in NSW, was found guilty by a South Australian District Court judge today.

Judge Michael Boylan also found the 23-year-old guilty of producing **** pornography.

Clarke had pleaded not guilty to charges of inciting a **** to commit an indecent act and producing **** pornography, telling her trial she believed the girls were 17.

Clarke was one of three people charged over the filming of six homemade pornographic films between July 2005 and February last year.

Her co-accused - Daniel Troy Osis, 25, and Renee Jean Malyschko, 23 - were tried separately and pleaded guilty in June this year to having unlawful sexual intercourse with the two 14-year-old girls.
Osis and Malyschko also pleaded guilty to two counts each of inciting a **** to commit an indecent act and producing **** pornography, while Osis was convicted of two further counts of possessing **** pornography.

Both have yet to be sentenced.

Judge Boylan found Clarke guilty but said she "honestly and, indeed, reasonably believed the two girls were 17".

"I'm of the view that does not matter given the gravity of the offence," Judge Boylan said.

She will be sentenced in January.

The age of consent is 16 across the country (as far as I know).

Most magazine publications though won't feature girls unless they're 18.

However considering that these films were "homemade" they were more than likely NOT for distribution, as such what's made in private would make the age 16, making 17 legal for sex and anything filmed for private purposes.

The age of consent in Australia is 16, the age where you can photograph a model nude or in a sexual act is 18. You can find a loophole and photograph a model nude at the age of 16 with her parents consent.

Strange but true

You don't know when those laws came into effect do you Sir D?

I remember many many moons back, when Lindsey Dawn McKenzie first appeared, Picture published her photos and spun the story that she was 16 years old and couldn't wait to turn 16 to get her tits out.

Wiki is written by lamen who do not have a full and comprehensive understanding of the law. Its not reliable and has little truth in it, you can not use it as it is written and can be changed by anyone.
