Looks more like they couldn't get him for the initial cp charge and instead of backing away they doubled down and got him on other charges.That's not necessarily 100% legal, it's just not often prosecuted. Paul Little (Max Hardcore) copped an obscenity rap and did federal prison time for such content, although the fact that his content was gross and disgusting beyond even that had more to do with it. They had also gone after him for rape and CP even though the actresses had the required paperwork under 18 U.S.C. § 2257, because they would sometimes claim to be underage despite not being so.
They didn't get him on those two but the obscenity rap stuck.
So material that isn't technically legally child porn can still run afoul of the federal (or state) obscenity laws, it's just that federal prosecutors very rarely ever go after it, and state prosecutors almost as rarely.
