    Is Photo Sexting by Minors a Criminal Offense
    Ok so I'm sucrrently 16 and live in Illinois. The age of consent in illinois is 17, but my boyfriend lives in montana and the age of consent there is 16. He sent my pictures of his privates several months ago and my mom found the pictures on my old phone and is threatening to file charges on him, and I was wondering what possible charges there would be, if any.

    well, to start with you can be charged with possession of child pornography. If you sent them to anybody else you can be charged with distributing child pornography.

    He can be charged with disseminating child porn.

    and the age of consent has absolutely nothing to do with this. Child porn is child porn.

    A crime was committed. He transmitted child porn and you are in possession of child porn. The age of consent has nothing at all to do with kiddie porn as you cannot send, receive, or possess naked images of minors (under 18) at all. These can be filed as state or federal charges under the circumstances. You AND your boyfriend could be ina world of trouble!

    And I am still amazed why some peculiar guys feel some strange urge to take pictures of their junk and send it along ... that's just ... ugh!
