NC Law: Teens who take nude selfie photos face adult sex charges

[SlyPokerDog]

After a 16-year-old Fayetteville girl made a sexually explicit nude photo of herself for her boyfriend last fall, the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office concluded that she committed two felony sex crimes against herself and arrested her in February.

The girl was listed on a warrant as both the adult perpetrator and the minor victim of two counts of sexual exploitation of minor - second-degree exploitation for making her photo and third-degree exploitation for having her photo in her possession.

A conviction could have put the girl in prison and would have required her to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life. A plea bargain arranged for her in July should clear her record next summer.

Would never of thought a country founded by Puritans could be so Puritanical.

By the twisted logic of the State of NC, couldn't she have refused to press charges against herself?

Will she have to knock on her own door and tell herself she is a sex offender?

I've heard that "refusing to press charges" isn't a real thing in criminal cases. By that I mean that it is not up to the victim of a crime whether charges are filed or not.

Can she avoid paying taxes by garnishing her own wages to pay herself reparations?

True, but obviously she can refuse to testify against her own interests. She can only be compelled to testify if given immunity.
