Hysteria Over Sexting Reaches Peak Absurdity

Summary | The law’s classification of juvenile sexting as child pornography is illegitimate. Puts emphasis of legal prosecution on distinction between consensual vs. non-consensual sexting. Non-consensual sexting may then be seen as harrassment or exhibitionism in which case a restraining order could be issued rather than putting the minor who takes explicit pictures of him- or herself in prison and on the sex offenders list. The need to update child pornography laws to exclude consensual sexting among minors became very clear in a Virginia case where the police wanted to photograph a 17 year old suspects' erect penis for court evidence.

Summary | Cases of teenage sexting keep sprouting up across the country. One cannot blame the youths because they are inexperienced and hormonal. They do not realize that creation, posession, and distribution of nude images of themselves or their peers constituted a child pornography felony with serious ramifications. Many sexts go viral nowadays, which makes sexual recklessness today much more dangerous. Some victimized teenagers have commited suicide. Parents must monitor their children's activities on their smartphones to protect them from themselves. They have all right to do so since they are paying for their cell phone plans.

Summary | The police in Cheyenne, WY have started to inform the public about the severe legal consequences of underage sexting. Taking a nude selfie as an underage individual is already a felony under the header of child pornography and so are ownership of distribution of such material, even as a minor. There have been a few sexting cases in the area with around 20 teenagers involved. Parents should warn their children of the dangers involved in making explicit photographs of oneself.

Summary | Recently Apple's iCloud was hacked and nude photographs of many female celebrities (Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst, ...) were publicly shared online. This attack on celebrity's personal privacy is compared to the Swiss scandal secretary who tweeted nude images of herself at her workplace. While the celebrity nude image leak is seen as vile abuse, the Swiss secretary's misfortune is seen as her own fault. It is naïve to expect to be able to keep a Twitter account with 11'000 followers secret from one's employer.

Summary | Switzerland saw two nude selfie scandals in and around politics this summer. A secretary working in the parlamentarian offices had been tweeting nude selfies taken on the premises. Parlamentarian and city mayor of Baden in Switzerland, Geri Müller, had been sexting with an online friend via WhatsApp, including an abundance of written messages and nude selfies. The Swiss public had been debating whether Müller's #selfiegate should have been newsworthy at all. What ultimately emerges is a double standard: the secretary lost her job within days and the mayor is still representing the Swiss people in parliament.
