The big crime is not raping children. It is pictures of raping children.

As you note with the Dupont heir, raping children might get a slap on the wrist.

But if someone was in possession of a photograph of the Dupont heir raping a child they might be facing a stiffer sentence than the actual rapist.

It is a distorted area of law. I would suggest that a picture of an act should never be a bigger crime than the actual act itself.

But here we are. The Dupont heir is free because he merely raped a child, versus taking a picture of himself raping a child.
