Can a child be charged with child pornography?

Question

my friend (male) is 14 and got charged with possession of child pornography for having a picture of a nude 14 year old girl, that she had in fact sent to him on his phone. is that right? and if so, how?

Answer 1

Hmmmm....good question.

Someone should slap both of them for that.

Answer 2

They can be charged with child pornography. His best bet is to get a lawyer and stop showing pictures of nude 14-year olds to the police.

Answer 3

child p**n is child p**n, no matter what the age.

the punishment, however, will be much less severe due to his age.

he'll probably just get off with counseling.

Answer 4

No, and the girl should have gotten in trouble for sending, we don't need anymore Vanessa Hudgeons in this world  

Answer 5

Yes, he can be charged with pornography.

Whether he'll be convicted is iffy, but he DID have a picture of a naked minor in his possession, even if he didn't realize the consequences of it.

I would question what he's doing getting pictures of a naked 14 year old in the first place, though....

Answer 6

thats ********

Answer 7

Well of course it is illegal for anyone to own this sick material.Even if it is the child in the picture,they can not possess any.

Answer 8

no  i dnt cuz i mean she sent it to him to the grl shoulgd get in trouble.  plus its his own business and ppl should get the f*** out of his face. but its kind overly perverted 2 keep it AND like it

Answer 9

I read a case of a 13 year old girl who was charged with creating child pornography after she took naked photos of herself and sent them to someone.

How weird is that, a girl being both the perpetrator and the victim of the same crime.
