I think if the sender and recipient in your described scenario are consenting then they should not be charged with these laws. That is not the intent of those laws. Even if the recipient is not consenting, the sender should also be charged with some other sort of harassment. But if the recipient forwards or shares the image in any way then they probably should receive the severe distribution charge.
- BWStearns 13y agoKeep in mind that generally teenagers lack legal agency, and so consent is irrelevant because they cannot exercise consent. Their parents can exercise or choose not to exercise the consent for them and a lot of these cases are parents punishing their children's partner. It's not generally the state going off on some ridiculous spree of hunting down horny teenagers just for shits and giggles.
