The perp was being investigated for possession of child pornography. While not a saint, he was not a "child molester".

The trade in child pornography enables child molestation.

I suppose that if we get very technical you're technically correct. Seems like an odd and very pedantic hill to die on though.

Conflict minerals enable regimes that commit war crimes. Does buying electronics made from such minerals make you a war criminal?

This is a silly comparison and this "aha, but what about this, huh?!"-style of conversation is not one I'm interested in having.

I wouldn't call false accusations of such a serious crime "technical" or "pedantic".

I'd call it "profoundly misleading about a serious matter" at best.

Child pronography is any depiction of someone under 18. This includes:

- Drawings, 3D renderings,

- People you don’t have the ID of. Remember the joke: “Actress ___ turned 18, it is now legal to watch her films.”

While one of the gravest crimes, accusations of CP made by police are wildly different from a human’s definition of it, and it is also at high risk of being used for political reasons, we need to keep that in mind.
