@vivify saidThat is not the charge in the indictment. Instead it relies on Texas Penal Code 43.262 – Possession or Promotion of Lewd Visual Material Depicting Child which states:
https://codes.findlaw.com/tx/penal-code/penal-sect-43-25.htmlTexas Penal Code § 43.25. Sexual Performance by a Child
(1) “Sexual performance” means any performance or part thereof that includes sexual conduct by a child younger than 18 years of age.
(2) “Sexual conduct” means sexual contact, actual or simulated sexual intercourse, deviate sexual interc ...[text shortened]... ks.
Does the movie meet any of these points? If not, Texas has no case against "Cuties".
"(a) In this section:
(1) “Promote” and “sexual conduct” have the meanings assigned by Section 43.25.
(2) “Visual material” has the meaning assigned by Section 43.26.
(b) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly possesses, accesses with intent to view, or promotes visual material that:
(1) depicts the lewd exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of an unclothed, partially clothed, or clothed child who is younger than 18 years of age at the time the visual material was created;
(2) appeals to the prurient interest in sex; and
(3) has no serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
(c) An offense under this section is a state jail felony, except that the offense is:
(1) a felony of the third degree if it is shown on the trial of the offense that the person has been previously convicted one time of an offense under this section or Section 43.26; and
(2) a felony of the second degree if it is shown on the trial of the offense that the person has been previously convicted two or more times of an offense under this section or Section 43.26.
(d) It is not a defense to prosecution under this section that the depicted child consented to the creation of the visual material.

Quite obviously, the charge fails the requirements I have put in bold.
Under the theory of the charge, every person in Texas who watched the movie (or maybe even just the dancing clip) is a felon.
@averagejoe1 saidNo one is required to watch the movie, Joe.
Funny, my own post is making me sick to my stomach.

@no1marauder
As usual, LESS THAN AVERAGE JOE leads the moronic charge.
Ever visit a museum LTAJoe? Lotsa' nude women huh?
Did you ever question why THE REPUBLICANS covered
the statue of DAVID, by Michelangelo during THE G.W. YEARS?
I understand, LESS THAN AVERAGE JOE,
aren't too many museums near your trailer camp are there?
@no1marauder saidI defer to the District Attorney to his own questions.
We already heard from him and I'm sure he'll be on Laura Ingraham or Jeanine Pirro or some such in the near future.
So what do you think he discovered that the other 253 county prosecutors in Texas and 3140 in the US missed?
@no1marauder saidNo one is required to watch kiddie porn on the dark web, either.

@averagejoe1 saidThe only emotion coming from this observer is pity.
Andy, take your Lexapro. Emotion has no place in debates. This will be your first assignment in class.
@mott-the-hoople saidNo private parts were visible in Cuties. Case without merit.
