teen trades child pornography for a car.

CNN has reported a mind-blowing story from Spain. An 18-year-old teenager has been arrested on child pornography, prostitution, and corruption of a minor charges after he tried to trade nude pictures in exchange for a car. As part of his attempt, he posted a sample of nude pictures online for review by the potential buyer--a 25-year-old man who had been arrested last year for allegedly using social networking sites to lure young girls into posting nude photographs of themselves online. Sick? yes. And, it gets sicker.

The photos being traded by the 18-year-old were OF HIS 11-YEAR-OLD SISTER. The article doesn't delve into how the brother even acquired naked photos of his younger sister, but no matter the method... the teen was trading his sister's dignity and innocence. For a car.

As part of the ongoing investigation, the 25-year-old man's computer is still being examined. According to reports, there are photos of approximately 50 other young girls among the man's files.
