This just highlights the stupidity of using age as a gauge in our laws to begin with, but it is the law and she did break it. Personally I have no respect for the person who took the time to turn her in. The reality of it is she was doing nothing wrong. The idea that laws are going to stop human beings from seeking out sex is a joke and has always been.
If I possesed a picture of her then yes I could be prosecuted, it doesn't matter if I'd been ignorant to the fact that she's underage.
This reminds me of a story where there was some popular porn star a few years back and when her true age was found out years later and they did the math & figured out she'd been doing videos since her early teens. Of course the videos disappeared off the store shelves immediately, but I wonder how many didn't make it to the trash bin. I remember something in the media telling people to get rid of those videos if they had any.

The child porn laws are meant to protect kids from being victimized by adults.

Yes nowadays you can get in some serious sh*t if your caught with child pornography. But sometimes I think the 18+ look a little young.

I hope she doesn't masturbate.
That's molestation.

I think the whole point of this is that, "she is sending pictures of a minor, herself, to others" If an adult is found with nude pictures of a child, of sexual nature, that adult will be prosecuted for pediphile, and this girl was sending pics to people. What she was doing could have sent people to jail.
It is almost the same as a teen sending a virus to people over the net. The purpose of a virus is to harm other people's properties or get information from them. This girl's actions would have brought harm to other people also, in the form of "jail time."
