Hello ****, could you please specify the legal question you need assistance with? Also, could you let me know where you are located as laws may vary by location?
Would I as an 18 year old face legal trouble for recommending a mature show in class

The teacher put the show on and a sexual scene appeared. I asked her to turn it off but it was a little late. Could I be arrested?
