If nudity alone is kiddie porn, then all our pics of our baby children in the bathtub are legally kiddieporn, and if we ever make an enemy of a prosecutor, they can put us away for it, and when we get out we will be labeled a sexual predator for the rest of our lives.

Nope, that argument would never see the light of day - Under 18 U.S. Code Section 2256 - it is "sexually explicit conduct" (actual or simulated, a depiction), of an "identifiable minor".

Then the defense is correct. By that standard, simple nudity is not pornography if their is no sexual act or simulation thereof.

I am afraid that you are wrong. If the nude gal has a "come hither" leer on her face it is lascivious, and indictable.

No - depiction of an identifiable minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct is child porn... and; evidently this story has a little fact to it - the producer gave underage girls money and told them to lie and say they were 18.
