Teen girl charged with posting nude photos of herself

“PITTSBURGH (AP) — A 15-year-old girl has been arrested for taking nude photographs of her self and posting them on the Internet, police said.

The girl, whose identity was withheld, was accused of sending out photographs of herself in various states of undress and performing a variety of sexual acts. She sent them to people she met in chat rooms on the Internet, police said.

Police seized her computer and found dozens of photographs stored on the hard drive. Authorities did not say how police learned about the girl.

She has been charged with sexual abuse of children, possession of child pornography and dissemination of child pornography.”

So… she’s been charged with sexually abusing herself, possession of pictures of herself, and then sending out these pictures… of herself? Wow. I don’t even know what to say, other than: If you’re underage, definitely don’t have any nude pictures of yourself. Apparently, having nude pictures of yourself is a crime.
