My question involves criminal law for the state of: Illinois and South Carolina
I have a friend (who's going to be 19) who did a stupid thing and is wondering about if its possible for him to be charged. Earlier, he met this girl, who was going to be 17, on craigslist who was planning to move to the same city in Illinois from South Carolina. They started talking and from there things kinda went and the conversation shifted:
Girl:"I just got out of the shower, wyd" (what you doing)
Friend: "Just finished the same thing, about to fire up the computer and play some games"
Girl: *sends nude picture with face and everything* "I'm about to lay down and watch some TV"
Friend:" Damn....looking good" *sends shirtless picture with pants on*
Girl:"You Looking good" *sends another nude photo showing face and breasts*
Girl: "Can I see that dick? You got me horny"
Friend: *Sends picture of Penis* "Its not that big, but enjoy"
Girl: *sends picture of vaginal area* "its big enough for me, can you cum for me baby"
Friend: *sends picture with sperm in picture* "If you have kik, I can send you a video"
Girl: "No i don't but how about I make you a video and show you how i can play in this pussy"
That was the end of the conversation. I found out later that the girl, was caught by her mother creating this video and consequently, the girl smashed the phone in effort to get rid of the evidence. But to the result, the phone was still functional, and my friend later got a call from the girl's father wanting to talk about the situation. Both the father and mother had read the messages on the phone and were debating seeking legal action. The father was trying to smooth any lines and avoid legal action, he understood that my friend made a mistake and was trying to persuade the mother from seeking legal action. For the time being, He was successful in persuading her to avoid destroying my friends life, but in return he would need to pay for a new phone. Unfortunately, He is still underemployed and has school to pay for. At the same time, He is working towards a nursing degree, which if he is charged he will never be able to fulfill.
So my question is, how do y'all think this will play out considering that the Girl sent the first indecent image and essentially led him on and leading him to sending indecent images back? Would he be placed under a sex offender registry? Since, this took place in both Illinois and South Carolina, which jurisdiction would this be under?
Thank you
