Man who posed for nude photos as a boy wants them back

ALBANY -- When Mark Hogarth was a boy, he posed for hundreds of sexually explicit pictures, many involving other kids, in his house and with the alleged approval of his father.
Now, the photos are "in safekeeping" in an undisclosed country where their possession is not a crime.

But Hogarth wants to bring the pictures to his Albany home without getting into trouble and is suing the state and federal governments for clearance to do so. He claims his constitutional rights are being violated by child pornography laws.

"The 269 photos are of deep personal importance to me," the 45-year-old Hogarth said in papers filed in federal court in Albany.

"I also assert that a good number of them have artistic merit," he said in his complaint. "I have become increasingly indignant that I am obligated to travel to a foreign nation to view these personal photos, and that I may not legally possess them here in the state of New York, my home for most of my life since birth."

Contacted this week, Hogarth declined to discuss the lawsuit.

1. I'm not sure what to say about the story, but I think you just may

qualify for some award. The award for most disturbing/disconnected smilies/gifs as related to the story posted.

Man tries to get naked pics back of childhood followed by animated purple rhino "smackin' it", a yellow smiley face with ass showing and two yellow smilies wherein one drops his drawers and the other kisses his ass.

I'm a bit shaken, not stirred.

2. Yeah... Good luck with that....

:wtf:

Molested as a boy and now he wants to be active in a lifestyle of pedophelia. I hope this sicko goes over there and is told he can't ever come back.

Pedophilia is a sickness and there is no cure.

3. I say, if he wants them back, he has to ask each individual in the other

pics if he can have them.

It said that he was involved in pics with other kids.

See how interested they were in him jacking off to the pics of them . . .
