Possessing explicit images of a minor (under 18) is illegal, regardless of consent, and can result in charges of possession of child pornography. Penalties can include up to 10 years in prison for possession and up to 14 years for distribution. Legal action can be pursued by authorities based on evidence, not just if the minor presses charges.
