Puberty does not equal "maturity".
I think it is interesting that the photographer cried out that he "didn't know he was underage", as if he knew that what he was doing would be considered illegal if he were a minor. That alone makes is pretty fishy to me.

Artists should respect the law, not be above it. That was my point. Anyone want to volunteer to let me splash goat's blood all over the front of their house as an "artistic statement" and not press charges?
