In fact I can agree with that charge, it's proper and does not ruin the childs life forever.
Sometimes an example must be set. Perhaps lower the charges a little but still let this girl have some sort of punnishment according to the law so that a loophole isn't opened for real preditors.

Court overturns father's grounding of 12-year-old
Jun 18, 2008
The girl had taken her father to Quebec Superior Court after he refused to allow her to go on a school trip for chatting on websites he tried to block, and then posting "inappropriate" pictures of herself online using a friend's computer.

why is it stupid to uphold the law?
So your saying it's ok to have pictures of naked 15 year olds floating around the Internet or being sent over phones as long as the child took them themselves?
really?
I mean yes the proper punishment should come from the caregivers, however this also should be a public matter to show teenagers whom nowadays seem to be all for the slut look to be a little less provocative.

I've never heard of that law before. 16 before you can have consensual sex in her state? I would have been in jail for the rest of my life for being a repeat offender if I lived there when I was young. What a ridiculous law. Then again, their are waaaaay to many babies nowadays, and waaaay to many 14 yr olds having them.

Ohio
The age of consent in Ohio is 16 as specified by Section 2907.04 of Ohio legislation. However there exists a close in age exception where an offender can be charged only if 18 years of age or older. However in that case, it is possible for both minors to be charged as "unruly" if brought to court [§ 2151.022].
2907.04 Unlawful sexual conduct with minor.
(A) No person who is eighteen years of age or older shall engage in sexual conduct with another, who is not the spouse of the offender, when the offender knows the other person is thirteen years of age or older but less than sixteen years of age, or the offender is reckless in that regard. [§ 2907.04].

I think the whole thing is silly myself that we now accept 1 to 1 1/2 year dips into the age of consent / adulthood laws to continuously charge minors with crimes as adults, but I guess its a sign of the times.
