I agree that the placing of cameras in a locker room is probably
illegal (I don't know about TN, but I am pretty sure it would illegal
in CA unless certain safeguards were in place). But the notion that
it amounts to child pornography is quite a stretch. The idea that you
could get that to stick is pretty far fetched. There may very well
have been some perverted intention on the part of somebody involved,
but unless you can prove that the people behind this were doingthis to
get their rocks off, it amounts to criminal stupidity and that's about
it.

The laws vary, but generally they define child pornography as pictures
of children nude or engaged in sexual conduct. I inadvertently saw
a nude child picture some asshole included unmarked in his Kazaa
collection. I considered it to be kiddy porn and sent him a message
saying so (I promptly erased the file and sterilized my hard drive).
Some woman was even arrested recently after a Wal-Mart employee saw
a picture of a 2yo child sitting naked in a kiddy pool. So my
contention is that any images of a child in a state of nudity can
be considered child pornography. At the very least Tenn. prosecutors
should throw in the child porn charges in an attempt to get a plea
bargain favorable to the state.
