In Minnesota, the legality of the conversation you described could depend on various factors, including the nature of the content shared and the intent behind it. Generally, discussing sexual topics with minors can raise legal concerns, especially if it is seen as inappropriate or exploitative. However, since it was purely text-based without images or plans to meet, it might not necessarily be illegal. Consulting with a lawyer for specific legal advice would be advisable.
