4. Sexting What is it? naked pictures or 'nudes' 'underwear shots' sexual or 'dirty pics' rude text messages or videos Some "sexts" have ended up on forums used by child sex offenders. One in four 11 to 18- year-olds have received a "sext" by phone or email, according to charity Beatbullying. Helen Penn, from Ceop, said police were becoming increasingly worried about "people losing control of these photos". "We are getting more reports of teenagers being bullied, called names and strung up in front of their whole school," she said. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFKAFo_etkE&feature=related

7. An Example http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/11_16/control/sexting/

8. Sexting and the Law Prosecutions In theory, teenagers could be arrested for taking naked photos of themselves or their boyfriends or girlfriends. Although it is legal to have sex at 16 under British law, it is illegal to take, hold or share "indecent" photos of anyone under 18. Helen Penn said in practice it is unlikely the British police would get involved in a consensual case of "sexting" because it would not be in the public interest, although there have been a number of charges brought in both Australia and the US. But if grooming or sexual abuse of a minor was discovered, there would probably be a prosecution. "When the police look at this kind of offence, they are going to take it in context. "So if it is two 17-year-olds and they are in a consensual relationship, they will probably not prosecute those people. "But it will look at people that sent on these images and hold lots of them for ill intent.”
