Summary
In New York, individuals under 18 are considered minors under child pornography laws. An 18-year-old is legally an adult, and child pornography laws typically apply to those under 18. However, sending explicit images (sexting) can still be legally complex, especially involving interstate issues between Texas and New York. Possessing nude photos of adults is generally legal, but possessing or sharing explicit images of individuals under 18 can be illegal and considered child pornography, regardless of consent. Under federal law, possessing, producing, or distributing explicit images of individuals under the age of 18 is illegal and can lead to severe penalties. Since the sender is 18, they are legally an adult. The possession and distribution of explicit images involving adults falls into a different legal category.Full Conversation
