A member of a Virginia Beach rock band is being held without bond at the Central Virginia Regional Jail on a charge of soliciting child pornography through the Internet.
Christopher Atkinson, also known as Christian Atkins, 23, of Virginia Beach is the lead singer of Celebrity Gunfight. He was arrested in Virginia Beach on Friday, and Louisa County sheriff's investigators transferred him to the Central Virginia Regional Jail, said Major Donnie Lowe, of the Louisa County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities in Louisa, about 50 miles northwest of Richmond, received a complaint Sept. 5 from a woman who reported finding explicit photos of her 16-year-old daughter on the teenager's cell phone, according to court records. An investigator reported the girl acknowledged sending the photos to Atkinson after he requested them, according to court records.
"We're alleging he knew she was 16," Lowe said.
Investigators were aware that the girl's MySpace page listed her age as 18, but Lowe said authorities intend to prove that Atkinson knew the girl was a minor.
"Prior to us placing the charge, we make sure we overcome that obstacle," he said.
Ok so it's ok for her to lie about her age on MySpace, then take nude pictures of herself, then she send those photos via cell phone, to someone else, who is later charge with having those images. My question is why wasn't she arrested for distribution of child porn? She did break the law as well, why isn't she being charge with a crime? It's easy the DA is claiming she is the victim....
