Judging by the string of harsh comments to this report (which use various derogatory words to describe the charges), many people are outraged that such behavior, while improper, is a crime. Instead, they suggest that the behavior is a discipline issue that should be privately addressed by parents at home. In response to these concerns, this post examines the criminal laws in NC that possibly cover sexting and discusses their application to minors.
Teens and Sexting: Penalties
The penalties for sexting images of minors range from a class A misdemeanor to a class A felony. Although it’s upsetting, try to document evidence of the distribution of the nonconsensual photo or video, Women’s Justice NOW, a women-led nonprofit based in New York City, advises. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok have features that let you report an account or post.
- Lack of accountability, inadequate supervision, and poor judgment are just a few of the reasons why children are sexually assaulted and abused.
- Give your child age-appropriate options that don’t involve sending or receiving explicit photographs.
- She sued the city, arguing that society’s position had changed and sex work no longer qualified as offending the moral order.
- It is worth noting that prior convictions may escalate felony charges, and each photo or video may constitute a separate offense depending on the facts presented.
Is it still considered sexting if it was sent over social media, in private or direct messages?
Sexting images of a minor—someone younger than 18—can result in serious charges and penalties. These offenses can be prosecuted under California’s child pornography and related laws. Because the juvenile sexting law carries a maximum penalty of a misdemeanor, these cases fall under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court. Adult court only comes into play if a juvenile age 14 to 17 faces felony charges for sexual exploitation crimes. But transfer to adult court is discretionary, so even these felonies may be prosecuted in juvenile court.
- Some women reconcile themselves with this situation as they still make much more money than they could at home; others rebel and are threatened or abused.
- He attempted to explain his actions by his “orientalism” and terminal illness.
- A conviction for committing a child pornography or exploitation crime carries the possibility of prison, a fine, and, in some cases, mandatory registration on California’s sex offender registry.

The only exception is if the explicit material was unsolicited, and the juvenile took reasonable steps to destroy, eliminate, or report the explicit material. Transmitting or displaying the explicit material to more than one other person is a class 3 misdemeanor in Arizona. Multiple violations will increase the charges to a class 2 misdemeanor. More severe penalties apply if a minor sexts or knowingly possesses a sexually explicit image of another minor younger than 13. If the image depicts the minor in a sexual act, the crime is a first-degree offense. Second-degree penalties apply if the image shows a minor’s genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or breasts.
If your child has received explicit material from another minor, they need to delete it or report it to the authorities as soon as possible. States should enact legislation that decriminalizes the act of consensual sexting between two minors. The penalties can depend on the type of material shared, the ages of the people involved, and where the images were shared.
The penalty is a petty offense, but there’s no violation if the juvenile did not solicit (ask for) the image and took reasonable steps to destroy the image or report it to a parent, guardian, teacher, or police officer. That means using the internet, mail, or any other communication device or medium to solicit sex from a minor across a state line or internationally is a federal offense. If convicted of soliciting a minor for sex, or if the offender crosses state lines to have relations with a minor, the punishment is anywhere from ten to thirty years imprisonment and a $ fine. On the Federal level, the age of consent is 18, because of that -crossing state lines to have sexual relations with an individual below 18 is a federal offense. Soliciting a minor for sex is also a crime on the federal and state level. Apps like Snapchat and Dust seek to provide greater protection to their users.
A class 3 misdemeanor carries a possible sentence of 30 days’ detention and $500 in fines, and a class 2 misdemeanor carries a possible sentence up to four months’ detention and $750 in fines. To ensure your privacy and remove (or at least lessen) the possibility of someone sharing your intimate message or nude, don’t text them. Snapchat might seem like a good option because the photos disappear, but the option to screenshot creates a problem. In addition to it being potentially illegal, a sext could be forwarded or shown to someone other than the intended recipient. Alternatively, the recipient’s phone could get hacked, or someone else could find the message on their phone and share it with others. Once the text, picture, or video is sent and out of your hands, it’s out of your control.
