    Additionally, the internet is international. There's no guarantee that the people sending or demanding the pictures are anywhere in the US, and laws differ between states, let alone countries. What can the police do if the perpetrators are in Slovakia, or Singapore, or Sri Lanka? What happens if the pictures are taken, and sent from, a country where the age of consent is 14? (Yes, there are some.)
    First off, the difference between the states makes no difference in the US. It's federally illegal to "induce, entice, or coerce" the creation of the child porn.

    If the requester is in the US, it's still federally illegal to make the request of a US minor to do so (though potentially difficult to prosecute).
    If the requester is in the US and the child is abroad, it's illegal to make the request and pretty straightforward to prosecute in the US. I have a close relative (alas), who is facing three counts of child porn for accessing an off-shore website that the cops were watching.
