My question involves criminal law for the state of: Connecticut
I'm worried about my nephew, who sometimes, can have lapses in judgement. He is 19 years old. He met a girl in some online chat room, who is 17 and they exchanged regular pictures and what not. Then they got to talking, and he decided to send a picture of his genitles to her, in exchange for a picture of her breasts. He sent the picture, of only his genitles, not including his face, or the rest of his body, via cell phone, thus making it easy to track him. He got no response, and called me freaking out, thinking it was a cop that set him up. 12 Minutes later, he received a topless picture of her, without her face as well. This calmed him down a lot, thinking maybe if it were a cop, they wouldn't have sent a picture back. He also felt the picture looked like it could match up with the females clothed picture. While he was calm for the night, he called me again this morning, still scared. Here is my question:
-What are the chances this is a cop? Would a cop reply with a message like that?
-Is this a crime? If so, what are the remedies.
-Should he be worried, or can I tell him to relax?
Please respond ASAP, as I'd like to get this straightened out for him ASAP. Hopefully now he can stop being so stupid, and learn his lesson from a close call.
