"Why aren't these criminal acts being prosecuted?"
1. That would mean throwing a large fraction of teenagers in prison.
2. This is happening among middle and upper class teenagers just as much as it happens among the working class. You are not going to see suburban angels going to prison, at least not if the sheriff wants to keep his job.
3. Prosecuting teenagers for this will solve nothing; they will just get better at hiding their tracks, talking their way out of it, or not getting caught. In the best case, rather than the videos being released you'll just see teenagers threatening to release the videos, and then you'll just have "he said she said situations.
Our heavily armed police force will not solve this problem; as with problems related to drugs, prosecutions will only make things worse.
