Photo Of Son "Mooning" For Camera Lands Dad In Sex Court

<snip>

Parents often take pictures of their children in bathtubs or running naked across the room, but a former Nashville attorney is accused of crossing the line by photographing his then-5-year-old son ''mooning'' him.

The father is being tried this week on two charges of sexually exploiting a minor.

However, the father's attorney, Richard Dumas, told jurors yesterday that his client did nothing wrong. Dumas, in opening statements at the Nashville trial, also told jurors that the father sent the photo to his ex-wife, the boy's mother, because he wondered where the boy had learned the behavior. Dumas asked why, if his client wanted to exploit the child, he would send the photo of the boy's exposed buttocks to his ex-wife.

The Tennessean does not usually identify alleged victims of sex crimes, so names of the father and mother are being withheld to avoid identifying the child.

...is it better for 99 innocent folks go to jail so that one criminal is punished, or for 99 guity folks to go free so that one innocent person is not wrongfully jailed?

the first thing that occurred to me is why he hired a guy named "Dum-ass" as his attorney.
