In real life, there have been many instances of teens who were charged with
manufacturing child porn for taking pics of themselves. But the victim in a
child porn case is the child depicted, so it's a bizarre legal theory indeed
that says you are both the victim and the perpetrator of the crime at the same
time.

Under that approach, they could also charge teenagers with felony sexual
assault on a minor if they're caught masturbating.
