[0:19] >> This is NBC Nightly News with Tom Bro.

[1:16] have been taking part in this sort of
[1:17] activity for years.

[1:21] at times very exciting to them. Very
[1:23] interesting, very Hollywood.
[1:26] >> Police were concerned there were
[1:28] juveniles involved. That now does not
[1:30] appear to be the case.
[1:31] >> Because there's no child pornography, an
[1:34] adult can sexually do what they want
[1:36] with another consenting adult. And
