Education: Child Sex Offender?

Girl, 15, Faces Child Porn Charges for Nude Cell Phone Pictures of Herself, says the Heading of the article.

NEWARK, Ohio — Central Ohio authorities have filed felony charges against a 15-year-old girl accused of taking nude cell phone photos of herself and sending them to high school classmates.

Police say the Newark Licking Valley student was arrested Friday and held over the weekend. On Monday, she entered denials to juvenile charges of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material and possession of criminal tools.

A spokeswoman for the Ohio attorney general's office says an adult convicted of the child pornography charge would have to register as a sexual offender, but a judge would have flexibility on the matter with a convicted juvenile.

A prosecutor says Licking County authorities also considering charges for students who received the photos.

---Are you kidding? She send them herself and she will be charged with felony child pornography charges and could possibly have to resgister as a sex offender. Absolutely stupid thing to do on her part? Understatment of the year. Sex offender? I don't think so.

Now, those she sent them to? Depends on what they did with them, I suppose. Can they control what is sent to their phones? I don't think so. Did they send them on to other friends? They should be charged with something, perhaps -Not sure child pornography is appropriate (if they are minors themselves).

What do you think?
