Per the article. He had selfies of himself AND his 16yr old gf....They were both charged. This probably fell under a sexting law? Why didn't you mention there was an exchange of photos?
"Connecticut's sexting law targets teens (anyone between 13 and 17) who either transmit or possess nude or obscene photos of either themselves or another teenager."
possess nude or obscene photos of either themselves
Spez: That other article was crap. It made it sound like she took his pic and sent it to him IMO. My bad.
However the lunacy of being tried as adults who can legally have sex with anyone 16 and older and get married etc. for possession of nude images of a 16 year old minor when it's you and your girlfriend is beyond me.
They're probably the same morons that would imprison minors for having nude photos of themselves.
This is one thing that always fucking puzzled me. Kids shouldn't be taking nudes of themselves, but how da hell are you gonna lock me them up for it?
Take away their camera phone or disable it's ability to take pictures. Seem simple enough to me.
Well that's the parental responsibility, however I was talking about arresting kids for nudes of their own body on their phone.
Note: I'm not saying kids should do it.
Not that I think cops or the courts should bother with it anyway. Definately more important shit to deal with.
I agree but I'm sure a judge could make that an ultimatum. Give up your camera phone or go to jail.
Did this actually happen anywhere in the western world?
