US teen may be registered as sex offender for taking nude photo of herself -WTF?

US teen cuffed for sending nude phone pics • The Register: "A 15-year-old Ohio girl was arrested on felony child pornography charges for allegedly sending nude cell phone pictures of herself to classmates. Authorities are considering charging some of the students who received the photos as well."

(Via The Register.)

I know the government wants to protect us from ourselves but it seems like they're really getting carried away.

Regardless of right or wrong as far as the act goes, it just seems wrong to me that a teen girl takes a nude cell phone picture of herself and sends it to friends, then gets charged with producing child porn, possession of criminal tools (the cellphone?) and could be required to register as a sex offender for 20 years. That's just wrong.

As for wanting to charge the kids she sent the picture(s) with possession of child pornography...

Job Interviewer in 2018: "I see here that you are a registered sex offender. We don't hire your kind."

Young man: "But all it was is that a girl in one of my high school classes sent a nude picture of herself to my cell phone."

Job Interviewer: "Yeah, right. NEXT!"
