There was a recent article in the Washington Post noting that the act of taking nude or illicit pictures of individuals under 18 (even yourself) by anyone of any age (again, even yourself) and emailing/texting those photos, aka Sexting, was actually down amongst teens across that nation. The number of arrest of teens for this all to common act is still staggering, nonetheless. As a defense attorney in this area the one thing I am keenly aware of when faced with a Sexting charge is that it is likened to the offense of Child Pornography and can have devastating results if not handled with care from the very beginning.
