Legislation passed by the Vermont Senate and pending in the House would remove the most serious legal consequences for teenagers who engage in "sexting." The bill would carve out an exemption from prosecution for child pornography for 13- to 18-year-olds on either the sending or receiving end of sexting messages, so long as the sender voluntarily transmits an image of himself or herself.
Ohio, state lawmakers introduced a bill April 13 that would make sexting a first-degree misdemeanor. The legislation would apply only to teens younger than 18, separate from similar adult offenses that carry felonious charges.
