This Sunday, at 10PM EST, CNN will air ‘This is Life, with Lisa Ling’
This week’s topic is “Age of Consent” and it talks about the legal and social consequences of convicting adolescents and young adults of sex offenses; when teenage sexuality crosses the line and becomes a crime.
How Sex Offender Laws Impact Teens
The trailer features someone convicted for transmitting images of child pornography… of himself… when he was a minor.
The issue of registering minors as “sex offenders” is one that has been studied extensively and hopefully this TV report will present a true perspective.

I just watched this for the first time and it made me sick and angry just as many have commented above. I agree with Joe. If I was on the jury, it would have been a hung jury. The law is wrong and the jury was the last line of defense. What I would like to know is how is Zach today? I tried to google him but could not find anything about him. I hope he and his mother are doing well. That prosecutor was disgusting. I see above she resigned. What is she doing now? Hopefully nothing with kids. This story moved me. What organizations are there out there that I can join/support to fight such injustice?
What a heartbreaking story. This episode should be shown in every junior high and high school across the country, it is that important. I am horrified for this young man and his future. He should become a speaker and advocate for what has happened to him to change the law.
