Statute of limitations for distribution/possession of child pornography

Business 4 views 5 answers
What are the statutes of limitations for a sexting crime committed between two 15 year olds? Both sent sexual pictures but now one may wanna charge. Can they? Or would the party pressing charges not have a case since they are equally guilty? Help please??

Fun question. If you have photos of another, you are possessing kiddie porn, if you took photos of yourself, you produced kiddie porn. DON'T DO THIS. Not possess or produce, errasing does no good, stays on memory. However, I have never seen feds in south arrest minor for this, they let state take care of. BUT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM....tell your.parents now that you need legal representation NOW! Do not wait. Protect yoursel.

The federal statute of limitations is five years. But if the offense behavior is recent, you have bigger worries than the statute of limitations. You need to find a good lawyer!

The facts could be considered a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the specific facts. A misdemeanor statute of limitations is 2 years in Georgia. A felony statute of limitations is 4 years on Georgia. A federal statute of limitations can be 5 years.
