My question involves juvenile law in the State of: California
So I had an online boyfriend who was 19 and I’m 16. I sent him explicit pictures but he did not save them to his phone or anything. But, he was caught because of probation and he was originally not allowed on his phone. I think that the police are now investigating his phone. We sent explicit messages to each other but not that many on text. Since I am a minor, can I expect any fines or anything? I have really bad anxiety so a fast response would be nice. Thank you
Explicit messages are not generally a legal issue, but you sending images of yourself to him could, potentially, result in criminal charges to one or both of you given the right circumstances. However, the chances of you being charged are slim - assuming that your characterization here is correct. You shouldn't have much to worry about.

Your "online boyfriend", on the other hand, may well have issues. But, he's really not your "boyfriend" if you only know him online. It's also possible that his claims of Probation and problems are bogus.

You should be fine. Just remember two things: Online relationships are dangerous, and, NEVER send naked images of yourself to anyone!!
