Current Events One

Alex Phillips, 17, was less than enthusiastic to the police officer’s warning that he, Phillips, could face jail time for publishing naked pictures of a minor on Phillips’s MySpace page.

“Fuck that, I am keeping them up,” according to a criminal complaint filed yesterday in Lacrosse County Circuit Court.

The pictures were of Phillips’s ex-girlfriend, a 16 year-old, who had taken the pictures herself and sent them Phillips’s cell phone. In addition to the pictures, Phillips included rude and explict captions to each picture.

Phillips now faces felony charges of child pornography, defamation and sexual exploitation of a child.

While claiming that his goal was not to harm the girl, Phillips acknowledged that, “he probably should not have done this,” according to the May 20 court filing.
