[edit] Legal age
Perhaps someone with better knowledge of the facts can add something regarding what the legal age for posing nude was back in 1958. I'm under the impression that the 18th birthday threshold wasn't actually legislated until the 1960s (and, in places like the UK, wasn't put into law until only a couple of years ago, before which it was common to see 16-17 year olds posing nude). So while I'm not disputing that Hefner might have been charged (there should be a source cited for this, incidentally), but was he in fact breaking any sort of child porn laws back in 1958? The fact Roberts' photos are still widely available -- even via Playboy itself -- unlike, say, photos of Traci Lords at the same age, leads me to think some sort of grandfather clause might exist regarding those images as well as those of other early Playmates who were allegedly 17 when they posed... 23skidoo 15:01, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
