I didn't say it's ok. I think it's trashy too. But realistically, no damage was done to warrant a year in jail, yet alone 15

Also for those saying "Oh who cares if kids were around! Kids don't care!" You could say the same thing about people who masturbate in front of children but they are still BOTH considered child sexual abuse. I bet if that man was by himself masturbating on a public beach with children around, this entire thread would be going off on his ass. A sex act in front of children is a sex act in front of children. None of it is okay. At least not to me.

That's not what I'm saying. But if you think children, especially of our generation don't access those kinds of websites on a regular basis then you are in for a disappointment...

In this scenario, I'm assuming they were having sex at a distance from everyone else. As for the 3 year old concerned, you tell that child to look in the other direction and it's as simple as that. The kid is not going to remember it 10 years time, not even going to remember it the next day. So why should the perpetrators be doing any real time? That is not proportional. It won't repair the situation. It doesn't help anyone. But they may come out of jail after 15 years with a criminal record, a major loss of time, and resentment for society. Who does that help?

Well, there are no children of my generation, I am an adul.

And I don't know how they would access such material on a "regular basis" unless their parents are irresponsible and don't put safeguards on the family computer.

Well, they will have a criminal record no matter what, and they should. So you are saying they should be jailed for as long as the child remembers or is affected by it? Interesting view.
