Prosecuted for naked pictures of themselves

Yep, it's happening again: "child porn" charges are being used against the people they're supposed to protect. 2 North Carolina teens hit with child porn charges after consensual sexting:

What’s strange is that of the five charges he faces, four of them are for taking and possessing nude photos of himself on his own phone—the final charge is for possessing one nude photo his girlfriend took for him. There is no evidence of coercion or further distribution of the images anywhere beyond the two teenagers’ phones.

As the article also points out, it is legal in North Carolina for both of them to have sex, just not possess naked pictures of each other.
