If sexting is to be so illegal why is it always one person to be charged with it in each case. It takes both individuals to hit each send button, am I correct? So if both are charged then who is the "offense" against? Charges could be pressed either way and both lives are ruined. I'm speaking strictly for children. Also if an 18 year old receives a test or picture of someone under 18 with any sexual content what so ever they can be charged with a felony even if they didn't participate in it. I find this to be wrong. I myself am currently in a predicament. I am 18 and a girl under 18 texted me explicit messages (no pictures) I responded to her initiative and her dad got a hold of her phone and called my parents. So as it stands it is between the families. No sexual actions at all have been made between us just the exchange of texts. Her parents have now alerted my school which is a private school. That's where it stands right now as it is Christmas break. I don't feel I should have any charges against me as I have not touched her in anyway nor was I in possesion of any underage pictures. And with her initiative and invovlement she should be just as liable. I'd like to hear anyones comments.
