This legal document, a page from a court filing, discusses the legal distinction between the crimes of producing and possessing child pornography. It analyzes the case of U.S. v. Coutentos, where the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a possession conviction, even though it stemmed from the defendant's own production involving the abuse of his granddaughters. The court reasoned that the offense of possession, when considered abstractly, does not inherently involve the sexual abuse of a child within the specific meaning of statute § 3283.
