According to College News, Vermont wants to decriminalize consensual sexting among minors between the ages of 13 and 18-years-old rather than have offenders be charged with child pornography.
- Current laws make no distinction between adults and minors who consensually send nude images of minors.
- The proposed law would exempt 13 to 18-year-olds from being prosecuted for sending and receiving consensual sexting messages.
- Opponents feel the law would condone sexting but supporters say they are merely trying to make punishments fit the crime.
