Charges From A Minor Sharing Inappropriate Pictures With Her Boyfriend

i am almost 16, born in 1991, my boyfriend is 17 tomorrow. I shared some pictures with him ... some slightly innapropriate pictures, over the internet. I know he has not shown anyone else, my mother saw the pictures while looking at my computer. I have since wiped my system clean of all residue of the photos. my mom told my dad and i got in huge trouble, pictures were exchanged between both of us ( we both sent them) my dad threatened to call the police. he said he didn't, but i'm not so sure, seeing as the police contacted my boyfriend ( who im not allowed to talk to) and said they would be back. What I need to know is, what charges, if any would be applied or could be applied. I understand they would probably be on both me and my boyfriend.

PLEASE HELP ME

By the way, the state is MICHIGAN

thank you

Did he erase the pictures? Assuming I'm understanding you, if you're under 18, it's possession of child pornography.

HE ARASED THEM... but yeah what kinda punishment is there for that and would i get in trouble because there were pictures i recieved? also if there are no pictures .... and no trace of them would there even be a case? thank you

Section 750.145c

You and boyfriend need to take more cold showers, and boyfriend should be expecting another visit from the police.

The police aren't involved. All traces of the pictures are gone. So what are you fretting about?

She stated, " ...seeing as the police contacted my boyfriend ( who im not allowed to talk to) and said they would be back."

Well, dad said he didn't, so it must have been mom. :D

I doubt my mom called police... she s never been that type of person and she stopped my dad from calling them before... but yeah idk if dad did or not. stuff lately (other personal stuff) has made me not really trust him. but he says he did not and idk. but yeah im worried about the police.

There are no traces of the pictures anywhere.

The police have already visited my boyfriend, not me, and said they would be back without saying why they were there or looking for any evidence.

Some one called the police.

He is now 17.


Questions:

Would I get in trouble with the law for recieving and giving pictures?

Is there any difference now that he is 17?

If there is no evidence do they have anything?

thank you

The police will accumulate whatever evidence they can get, including any witness statements, compile a police report, and submit it to a prosecutor. The prosecutor will then decide what, if any, charges should be brought.

If all they have are witness statements and I deny it and the guy denies it would they have a case?
My dad went to the police this morning and I'm worried. :wallbang: :eek: :( :(

I'm really worried... i need advice on what to do when and if the police come to my house... my dad just spoke with the police today about an hour ago on his way to work.

Consult with a criminal defense Attorney and have him present during questioning.

Deleted files can be recovered....

depends on how they were deleted. if you right garbage over the deleted sector of the hard disk and delete, lather, rinse, repeat, the files are unrecoverable. Easily done automatically with a program like shredder.

The problem here is that you are younger than your boyfriend. So the police may decide that you were corrupted by the older boyfriend. The sending of nude pictures of each other by their selves is not illegal, and let me clarify that. The picture must show you in a sexually suggestive way or you engaged in some type of sexual contact. The Supreme Court of the United States made the ruling. Otherwise that cute little picture your mama has of you when you were four years old in the bath tub would be illegal. I am surprised the police did not confiscate your computers for evidence. You can delete the pictures but that will not delete the hard drives. If like you said these were just pics of you and him naked, it wasn't smart but it also doesn't rise to the level of culpability.

Ah yes... The infamous 16-year-old baby in a bathtub shot.... :rolleyes: The original post indicated that the pictures were suggestive, and this is way outside of the scope of the "baby in a bathtub". You have to be more careful, as you're not as familiar with the laws as you believe yourself to be.

I tried to suggest that she actually look up the laws for the state that s/he is replying to...alas to no avail! :wallbang:

Your right Aaron. What I should have said is different jurisdictions will view the photos with the standard that their community and the law accepts. I just hope that a prosecutor would be able to realize the age of these children ascertaining that child pornography was not their intent. And not file charges that would ruin the rest of their lives.
