What's your opinion? A 16 year old teen found guilty of possession and distribution of child porn when she texted nude photos of her boyfriend's ex girlfriend.

I side with her lawyer. The laws were never meant for this. They were meant to protect children from predatory adults not for destroying children's lives. Just like this child could not be charged with statutory rape, she should not be charged with possession and distribution of child porn.
The age of the victim matters, so does the age of the accused. If this were an adult texting pictures of an adult, there would be no charges. We hold children to a higher standard which is counter to what the law was intended to do in my opinion.
Under the current law she will get somewhere between 6 months and 10 years in jail along with other consequences.
