Local Prosecutor Decides Pictures (of Alleged Rape) Are Worth A Thousand Words
Pop quiz: You are a local prosecutor, and you’ve obtained pictures of an alleged rape. The pictures show the alleged violation taking place — the victim and the alleged assailant — as well as other teenagers drinking and partying. You should:
(a) Use the pictures as evidence when you prosecute the rapist.(b) Put the pictures in a file and never look at them again (if you determine that the pictures show consensual sex).
(c) Do not charge the alleged rapist, but show the pictures to parents in your community.
If you answered (c), then you must be from Kansas. Click on the link below so Kash can tell you how they help parents in the heartland.

Another flyover state where it's cool not to have opposable thumbs.
If the story as retold by Kash is accurate, then that prosecutor should lose his license and potentially be brought up on charges of distributing child pornography.
Save the pictures in a secret place to be used later when one wants to get romantic with themselves.
First for realz, yo!
agree 100% with .2
What's more morally questionable: Showing a photo with censored identities that depict underage children having sex, in an attempt to alert parents in that community to what their children are up to, or posting a story on a widely read blog about a hostage situation involving a law student whose dad is the hostage taker, and whose mom is the hostage, allowing the student's identity to be easily discovered by all readers, and then entitling the story, "Best Excuse for an Extension, Ever"?
Serious ethical question.
6 - Jeez, can't believe you're beating that dead horse. If you are so enraged, you should boycott ATL in protest.
Bye.
Wow, potentially a cool $75 million though! In A Civil Action, they said something to the effect of the size of the payoff represents how sorry the defendant is for his / her conduct. She wants this country attorney to be VERY sorry for what he did.
6 = clearly upset . . . . still believes his excuse was best.
If minors who distribute photos of themselves can be prosecuted for child porn, surely this twit can also be prosecuted for this idiotic behavior.
Fascinating to see numbnut document review monkeys excoriate a hard working prosecutor.
The prosecutor did get in trouble, according to Kash:
"Felman’s family filed an ethics complaint, leading the Kansas Supreme Court to reprimand Campbell and suspend him from practicing law for six months."
ill go with;
D) Save pictures and jerk off feverishly later.
6 has a good point.
Van Winkle would totally win that case for the city and the prosecutor.
And if you want to see the pics, e-mail 10
It's a different world once you get west of Minnesota and Iowa. With the exception of Missouri, the rest of the Midwest is not as crazy as folks out in states like Nebraska and Kansas.
14 ??
- 10
It is hard to take seriously prosecutors who prosecute people for tipping cows.
... I mean see 11.
I've noticed that apparently the new cool thing on here is to talk about Van Winkle...is that referring to the Van Winkle Law Firm in Asheville? If so, is that them doing it? They seem to have some interesting ideas regarding lawyer advertising...
This story makes me so horny.

Kash, what percentage of yoru articles/posts do you think reference sex? 70%, 80%?
Out of curiosity googled the girls name and WOW, the girl with the same name that popped up for Facebook is HOT!!! (note not the same girl who allegedly got raped)
Thanks facebook
Missouri is directly south of Minnesota and Iowa, and hence not any farther west. Missoura, however, is quite far west.
6- I believe that there is a slight difference between the actions of a state agent (prosecutor) and those of a blogger, but, by all means, keep it up with your rants.
Consensual or Rape?
I say consensual. Opinions please.
the fact that they were obtained during an investigation is the problem.
the teens who took the pictures have a constitutional right to do whatever they want with the pictures if taken in a public place.
#6 Speaking of beating a dead horse, how about following that post ATL did poking fun of a Law student while his mother was being held hostage with a post telling Polack jokes.
Anyone else think Elie keeps linking to true/slant because that will soon be his new place of employment?
Kash is just jealous that every time she got drunk in a field and climbed into the bed of a truck, no South American exchange students climbed in with her.
Didn't she waive her expectation of privacy in these photos by allowing them to be taken in a public place by multiple onlookers?
You people all sicken me.
If I recall, I think law enforcement and some mental health professionals have some privileges when it comes to possessing and handling child pornography, but I don't know if that includes using it for public educational purposes.
She's demanding $75 million, which is a tad rich. Given that her face was obscured, and the photos were in a public place and the sex was supposedly consented to, I don't really see the harm. At least not the $75M harm.
They obscured the faces of the teens, as well as their naughty bits. As pornography, it was probably pretty un-lascivious.
33, you clearly never watched scrambled porn as a child... or have never downloaded that censored japanese bullshit... sometimes the obscurity can make the load that much bigger
If everything was obscured, then how why would this mentally impaired prosecutor think it has any more educational value than some generic photo that he could accurately describe as depicting situations that could happen at similar parties?
how could you tell from a photo whether sex was consensual? was she holding up a sign?
This post is useless without photos.
Pls advise.
Why do people think Kash is hot?
From all the photos I’ve seen, I get the impression that she’s short and dumpy.
22 thanks for the tip but you must have googled feldman instead of felman. Felman has a parrot whereas Christine feldman of westchester has the. Hottest. Facebook. Pic. Ever. Thx!
interesting.....
link to pics?
CF from Westchester is indeed a piece of ass.
This story makes me so horny.

Wouldn't he be guilty of violating child pornography stautes by distributing this material? Why is he not being prosecuted?
First of all, someone commented on underage sex, there was no mention of underage sex in the post just of teenagers partying, secondly if a prosecuter deemed that the tape showed consensual sex then it would have to be filed and not used...so b would be the correct answer.

my apologies to all commentor (45) here again, I adn't read the true slant. What is the legal age of consent in Kansas, i'm from the UK and it is 16 here.
I stick with answer (b) though, but I am probably gonna stir up a hornets nest of feminine power now but what was a 17 year old girl doing being out and getting drunk with a group of boys anyway?
Someone commented earlier on how the prosecuter could tell or not whether it was consensual. I think I would be able to tell...there would be quite a lot of creaming and shouting for a start!
I may get the drug induced rape thrown back at me now but can't that be traced by testing or did this girl leave it too long before reporting the incident?
