There are a lot of crazies out there. Some twitch or YouTube streamer I forgot the name of was accused of pedophilia for dating a minor a few years ago. His girlfriend was 17. He was 18 at the time.

IIRC a few years ago they tried to charge an 18 year old with possession of CP for having nudes of his 17 year old girlfriend at the time. Apparently her parents found out about their relationship and didn't approve. Which seems like something that could have been handled with a sit-down talk rather than arresting him and potentially putting him on a list for life, but what do I know.

Yeah, most states have clauses in their laws for small age differences in relationships when one partner is below the age of consent, but the photographs make it more tricky because that'll be sexual photographs of a minor forever.

Risky reporting it to the police though, since there have actually been cases of charging the underage girl with distribution, which is weird.

If he gets charged for possessing it, she should get charged for disseminating it.

Do the parents pay for the phone plan? Accomplices to distribution of child pornography.

Fucking hell, imagine being the parents of a 17 year old kid that is sending nudes to their age-appropriate SO and having the balls to blame the SO. You're literally responsible for that kid's education, you dumb fucks. You're lucky you're not in jail yourselves.

If I remember correctly, there was at least one case where a woman was accused for production of child pornography for her own photos found during phone repair. Can't find the link though

Ya. The law is dumb as shit. I remember a story of a high school boy, i think 16yo, was tried for CP for having photos of himself on his phone.

Callmecarson. He was dating her before he turned 18 and there was only a couple months gap iirc.
