Man Fined For Viewing Simpsons Porn
An Australian man has been fined $2,000 after Simpsons “pornography” was discovered on his home computer.
The central issue in the case was whether a cartoon character could depict a 
real person. Judge Michael Adams decided that it could, and found a man from Sydney guilty of possessing child pornography.
He ruled that the animated cartoon could “fuel demand for material that does involve the abuse of [actual] children,” and therefore upheld the conviction for child pornography.
Rather than jail the man, however, he fined him Aus$3,000 (US$2,000).
