Sexting vs actually having sex

2017-10-06 20:05:24.249337+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Indiana Supreme Court decides that sending nude pictures to a 16 year old is illegal, even though the age of consent is 16 so actually having sex with that 16 year old wouldn't be illegal.

Indiana Supreme Court: Sex with 16-year-olds is legal, but sending them nude photos is not:

"The Dissemination Statute clearly protects minors under the age of 18 from the dissemination of matter harmful to them," Justice Mark S. Massa wrote in the unanimous opinion. "Whether this inconsistent statutory treatment of minors aged 16 and 17 is advisable with respect to sexually-related activity is a matter for the legislature, and whether Thakar’s alleged conduct violated the Dissemination Statute is a matter for the jury."
