The first files he uploaded were images of underage femalia genitalia, however the account was never blocked. In fact, some of his images managed to slip through some foreign language Wikipedias in the relevant pages about female anatomy, and remained there for some time before being detected. After they were deleted, the files were re-uploaded.
By reading between the lines it seems that the account belongs to a now over-18 woman who took the pictures herself while she was young; or a boyfriend who took pictures of the girlfriend. In theory. In reality, it could just be yet another fake.

This image portrays the genitals of an underaged female? I'm not sure that is entirely appropriate. 88.88.52.7 01:08, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy delete The intention is, I'm sure, educational and there's no evidence of any connection to child abuse. However, I think this image is very likely to fall foul of the law in the US where the Commons is hosted. --Simonxag (talk) 01:43, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

The developer purge never arrived?

It does boil my bum, but naked, intimate photos of kids does not necessarily make them porn. Though it does have to be said that perhaps there are worse places to put them than Commons.

Context and usage is every thing.

Unlikely, because they are easy to find there and can be freely re-used even in the unlikely event that the sort of site that might re-use them is worried about copyright.

OK, so if they're re-used in a pro-paedophile article or an article on some particularly revolting sexula practice that will be fine? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/yecch.gif)
