Reply to comment by VizzyTarg in tifu by sharing gallery with my partner by [deleted]

Firstly, this is a lesson in dealing with the fact that your romantic partners will usually have a past with other partners. In time, you will too. It's completely normal and something you will have to deal with. Still having photos from past relationships isn't a terrible thing, your boyfriend likely still has good memories of the relationship and it's okay to keep mementos of that time. He wasn't taunting you with them or anything.

Secondly, any revealing photos are illegal. He shouldn't be taking them, possessing them, or sharing them with you. He needs to delete those. Don't take any of yourself either. Teenagers have been charged with producing, sharing and possessing those kind of photos.

It's the age of the person in the photo that's the crime, the age of the offender is irrelevant.

So, let's say I'm a 12 yo girl and I want a dick pic from a 14 yo boy, who is my boyfriend. So I get the photo and I can be fined or even sent to some kind of jail for having a picture of my older boyfriend's genitalia, that he willingly sent me? I just can't really imagine the situation where the judge would be like "Yeah, you fucking predator, go to jail!"... maybe it's illegal, but don't think they take it too seriously...

Yes exactly you can be charged with the possession of and distribution of illicit images of a child

Yes, that is illegal. And in your scenario, both would be facing potential jail time - the girl for solicitation and possession of illicit material, and the boy for production, distribution and possession of illicit material. As for how seriously the authorities take it ... It's very much a case by case scenario, and it's entirely likely that a conviction would happen - which could not only involve jail time, but also require them to be registered as sex offenders.

This all depends on the country you are in.

This would be legal in Canada as long as there is consent and the images are not shared or shown to anyone else.

This would fall under the personal use section.

This consent however can be revoked at ANY time, at which point you'd then be in possession of Child Sexual Exploitation Material (CSEM)

COUNTRY MATTERS (your mileage my vary)

First of all a 14-year-old should not be dating a 12 year old. There's a huge difference between a freshman and a 6th grader. Why don't you look up the penalties for this? What kind of shitty parent is OK with this?

You can't have a pic because it's child porn. You clearly haven't dealt with the legal system before if you think the judge will say it's not a big deal. Just do a Google search on how many teenagers have been charged with this.

Man... I'm not okay with a 12 yo being with a 14 yo... it was an example... Why do you need to be so aggressive? And even tho it's a bad thing to have such an age gap in those teenage years, it exists, there are many relationships like this... I know a lot of girls, who lost their virginity at 11, it's fucking bad, but it happens. And now more often than before, I guess because of the easy access to porn.

Okay guys, I just had a question... no need to be so aggressive with those downvotes... In my country this doesn't gets charged, especially not jail time... I'm guessing you guys are from the US, I'm not.

Most likely the parent who the phone is registered to would be charged. In the eyes of the law that phone plan (and the associated phone) are most likely considered their property as phone companies usually won’t open a line that is actually in the name of a minor.
