On: Teen prosecuted as adult for having naked images –...

[aresant]

Story I expected based on headline and the outraged HN comments: "guy takes nude selfies and is charged with crime."

Actual story "guy is charged with having nude images of underage girlfriend on his phone, prosecutors inflate charges to force settlement by reaching to include his own nude photos".

Still stupid. But way less black and white.

The other part of the story is: "girlfriend also gets charged with having selfies of herself"

They both got charged as adults for exploiting themselves as minors to share the pics with each other.

Girl was also charged but took a plea deal.

Also these people could legally have sex with each other, but apparently aren't allowed to have nude pictures of each other or themselves.
