Answer 5

well it would forever be on record that you are attracted to children.

Answer 6

Same sentence, except that that you will be in Juvenile hall until you reach majority and then transfer to prison.

Answer 7

ehhh...if it's just pictures of your own girlfriend I don't think the courts would press that much but I would advise extreme caution. perhaps taking pictures would best wait until later

Answer 8

Considering you are indeed a minor also, it all depends on the age of consent in your state. I know where I'm from, it's 16, but I think it varies from state to state. Basically, when two people are under 18 and sexual matters are involved there's a certain minimum age one person has to be in order for no charges to come up involving things like statuatory rape. Seeing as you two didn't actually have s*x in this situation, and you're not that far from her in age, I don't think they could get you on child p**n charges in this particular case. If they really want to charge you with something they could probably ring something up on obscenity or indecency charges, but unless there are more things you're not telling us, someone would have to get really creative to make child p**n charges stick.

Answer 9

erm

if you're around 15 or so

Answer 10

its not easy to get caught, and not bad

Answer 11

The law is the law - if they decide to throw the book at you you'll be up against serious prison time. Even if it was consensual (and it sounds like that's the case) chances are if her parents press charges you'll be hit - 15 is too young (depending on where you are) and you're too close to being an adult. The best you can hope for is that everyone accepts that it was just a couple kids messing around and they let it go. Don't do that in the future --- it's a bad plan either way
