Claiming that Pond and Elaboration had child porn is thus claiming publicly that they are guilty of a very serious crime that they did not commit and one that comes with a serious impact on their reputations. If they turn out to have been reported and action is taken against them it might be wise to remember this ( ... )

Under national law. As far as I could tell, California child porn statutes are functionally identical to federal ones, but I wouldn't swear to that.

Is it really wrong that I just collapsed in laughter at the stupid?

That's like reporting a crime that you read about in fanfiction... to the cops.
