That's an easy enough judgement when the perpetrator is an adult. What do you do when the perpetrator is a minor themselves? As they are in this article.
Of course their still needs to be some sort of recourse, but for every other crime there is a difference between being tried as a child or being tried as an adult.
I find it tough to consider myself.
Considering the consequences for a high school student if porn of them gets circulated, I'm fine with putting them on the registry. Expungement can happen later based on the aftermath. Teenage girls have killed themselves over this sort of thing.
