Graphic Rape Scenes of 12-year-old Dakota Fanning in New Film Call for Federal Investigation

NEW YORK, January 18, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Sundance Film Festival opens today, and on January 22 a film starring 12-year-old actress Dakota Fanning will debut. The movie, 'Hounddog,' is described in the current edition of Premiere magazine as featuring 'a devastating rape by an older boy.' On January 16, Allan Colmes on 'Hannity and Colmes' said, 'In the film, 12-year-old Fanning plays a sexually promiscuous character who's physically abused by her father and eventually raped on screen in a violently graphic scene.'

Canada's Globe and Mail said today of Fanning, 'her character is violently raped and appears, at different times, either naked or in underpants.' Other sources say it is uncertain whether a mutual masturbation scene featuring other minors will be shown.

The Catholic League is calling for a federal investigation of the upcoming movie to see if federal child pornography laws were violated during the shootings. "It is unclear whether federal child pornography statutes have been broken in the course of filming this movie," said Catholic League president Bill Donohue.

Donohue dismissed the approval of the material by Fanning's caregivers. "It matters not a whit whether Fanning's mother, along with Fanning's teacher/child welfare worker, gave their consent. What matters is whether they are an accessory to a crime."

"Accordingly, I am asking Andrew Oosterbaan, Chief of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section within the Department of Justice's Criminal Division, to investigate this matter. Federal statutes on child pornography define a minor as anyone younger than 18; Fanning is a pre-teen. I am also writing to First Lady Laura Bush requesting her assistance in this endeavor. In today's New York Times, it says that Mrs. Bush, along with the First Ladies from France, Russia and Egypt, met yesterday 'to discuss the fight against child pornography and pedophilia.'"

The sexualisation of children is becoming more commonplace and pro-family observers view it as part of the ongoing normalization of pedophilia.

Words fail me. WTF is wrong with people?

[Mr. P]

Dakota is from my town. I can tell you the moral standard of parents here would never allow such a scene. I think her parents have been overwhelmed with the $$$$ Dakota is making and have forgotten where they came from.

How many want to take wagers on when the Dakota Fanning E True holywood story comes out? You know where she takes a nosedive into drugs on a self-destructive cycle to damnation. She is setup to be the next great childstar fuckup. Way to go mom.

Well, they were hammered hard enough, as they deserved, so I suppose they feel it's time for them to fight back. Give what you get.

Yup. She'll be the next one photographed getting out of a sports car with her crotch hanging out.

I was thinking more like the next one we hear...

"She was so young. To die skydiving out her Gulf 5 jet while tripping on acid and doing several lines of coke right after giving several blowjobs to complete strangers who videotaped the whole thing and made millions on the internet, just before her 17th birthday, Dakota Fanning was found dead face down in Michael Jackson's swimming pool....with a photo of her crotch hanging out. So tragic."

She's being setup as one of the worst childstars with movies like this warping her so freakin bad. Even if they never show the footage, she apparently did group masterbation scenes with other preteen actors and actresses. She's going to be completely loopy in a few years.

I heard the group masterbation thing too. I hope people do hang for this. What is the difference between this, and some other child pornography one might find?

Come on Pale. This is intellectual. This makes you think deeper about stuff. You know?
