Vermont Considers Legalizing Teen Sexting 2

Posted by samzenpus on Monday April 13, 2009 @01:57PM from the have-fun-kids dept.

The Vermont Legislature is considering making sexting between teenagers legal. Under current laws, participants can be charged with child pornography, but lawmakers are considering a bill to legalize the consensual exchange of graphic images between people 13 to 18 years old. The bill passed the state Senate earlier this month. Hiding in the bushes and peering through windows will remain a crime.
