3rd Circuit Bars Prosecution Threat for Teen ‘Sexting’
March 18th, 2010
In the first case ever to challenge the constitutionality of prosecuting teens for “sexting,” the 3rd Circuit has upheld an injunction that barred a Pennsylvania prosecutor from bringing child pornography charges against girls who refused to attend a class he had designed to educate young people about the dangers of sexting. A unanimous three-judge panel found that any decision to prosecute the teens after they refused to take the class would be retaliation against them for asserting their First Amendment rights.
