    Exclamation Chat with a Minor

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Maryland

    My son is 20 years old and he came to me saying that he had been talking to a 14 year old (he thought she was 16) online and on the phone. She had sent him a few 'explicit' pictures of her none that showed her face and he sent her one that didn't show his face either. He told me that they've had phone sex at times and that they've talked sexually via text messaging and online messaging. They were talking one night and her dad came in and was asking who she was talking to and he's not sure what she told him as far as who he was or how old or anything. Her dad might see the pictures or messages that have been sent to/from her.

    My question is given the above information, if he [her dad] were to go to the authorities with this would there be anything held against him [my son]. I've researched a bit and some places were saying that since she didn't show her face it wouldn't be able to be held against him for some reason.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Faces in the image don't matter; if there were "naughties" in the images, and they were solicited from, or sent to, a minor, your son could be looking at felony charges (at the federal level if the minor lives in another state), and sex offender registration.
