People v. Hollins

This case presents question as to whether section 11-20.1(a)(i)(ii) and (a)(4) of Criminal Code pertaining to generation of child pornography is constitutional as applied to defendant where defendant took photographs of his 17-year-old girlfriend during consensual sexual activity? Appellate Court, in affirming defendant’s conviction, found that instant child pornography statute is constitutional, even though victim was legally able to consent to sexual activity, since said statute was rationally related to State’s legitimate interest in protecting children from perils of child pornography.
