June 05, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A case currently winding its way through the Texas legal system is putting the idea of parental consent and parental intent to the test in a case where a father showed adult pornography to his three young daughters, apparently as part of a "birds and bees" talk. The issue was brought to the attention of authorities after the 8-year-old, during the course of a therapy session, revealed what the father had done. The case eventually fell to James Farren, the Randal County district attorney. The only problem? According to Texas law written in 1973, while it is illegal to show pornography to minors, there is a parental exemption carved out. If a parent consents to the viewing (and in this case the parent was actually the instigator), then no charges may be filed.
