A 15-year-old Ohio girl was arrested on felony child pornography charges for allegedly sending nude cell phone pictures of herself to classmates. Authorities are considering charging some of the students who received the photos as well.

The unnamed student from Licking Valley High School in Newark, Ohio was arrested Friday after school officials discovered the materials and notified police. She spent the weekend in juvenile detention and entered a plea of "deny" on Monday, according to The NewarkAdvocate.com.

Charges include illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material and possession of criminal tools. If convicted, the girl could be forced to register as a sexual offender for 20 years, but because of her age, the judge hearing the case has some flexibility in the matter, an official told the Advocate.

The pictures came to light after a Licking County prosecutor began visiting high schools to educate students on the consequences of transmitting nude photos by cell phone. According to one student interviewed by 10TV News, the teens were warned they could serve 20 years if convicted.

A student later notified an adult of the nude cell phone pictures, and the adult in turn contacted school officials. School officials had pulled the girl aside and warned her about the behavior immediately after the presentation, according to a separate article by the Advocate.

That's... messed up on so many levels.

edit: although TBH I think the main issue is her sending the illegal pics to other people, not the fact that she took them.

How on earth can the students who received the messages be charged? They were sent to their phones and not downloaded. Strange.

Overheeeeealllll............................ Explain your fellow countrymen!

uberwolf

she was either immature enough to require protection and by extension too young to understand her actions.

OR

mature enough to know what she was doing, and as a consequence not require the protection of the law

Stupid law.

Please don't post stories like this.

When people my age went to school in the 80s, all the girls were munters in lumberjack shirts and doc martens. We don't need to get it rubbed in that they now mail unsolicited pictures of themselves in the nip to classmates.

Girl Texts Boy Her Naked Photo, Boy Gets Arrested, Held in Juvenile Detention

A 13-year-old boy was arrested and held in juvenile detention overnight because a female classmate sent him (and other boys) a naked picture of herself. The best line of the story--"So far only the 13-year-old boy has been arrested."

Beyond the prudery and overreaction, the most outrageous thing about the story is that this boy and only this boy is being punished for something only the girl did. She sent the photo, he gets punished.

Dave!

Sounds like the judge just wants to scare the girl so she doesn't do it again

She hasn't been charged afaik...

Still..... pics or gtfo
