A federal appeals panel has thrown out a child pornography conviction that was based on explicit photographs texted by a 17-year-old to her field-hockey coach.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held there was no evidence that defendant Todd Broxmeyer asked 17-year-old “A.W.” to take the pictures, and therefore no evidence that he “produced” them as defined by the federal child pornography statutes.
