Sexting: Four California Teens Cited for Sexting

Four 15-year-old boys in Yucaipa, California have been cited for sexually exploiting a minor after posting nude photographs of their friends on the Internet.  The citations could carry felony charges along with a misdemeanor possession of harmful matter of someone under the age of 18. The San Bernandino County district attorney’s office has not yet determined whether or not they will file criminal charges.

The photos, which also included semi-nude pictures, were of eight female students, ages 14 to 15, of Yucaipa High School.  According to police, the girls were taking photographs of themselves and sending them to their friends before the four male suspects began uploading them onto Yahoo.com’s social networking message board.
