Sexting or nude photos over cell phone is a new issue. A high school student in Pennsylvania was afraid she might be charged with a crime because of a her photo on her cell phone. Infact the photo in question was from a slumber party two years earlier and Miss Miller ws wearing her bra. The 15 year old student denied that she had taken any "nude" picture of her self. However, Dictrict Attorney George Skumanick of Wyoming county said that the "nude" pictures were obcene. He required that Miller and two of her friends attend a class dealing with pornography and sexual violence or he planned to file charges of seual abuse of a minor. If he files charges they might serve time in Prison and have to register as sex offenders. Merrissa Miller and her friend felt it was unfair and filed a lawsuit in federal court against Skumanick. They want the court to stop the Distric Atttorney from filing charges because it would violate their First and Fourth Amendment rights.The lawyer for the girls suspects the girls high school was involved in the investigation that uncovered the picture in the phone. They are thinking about suing the school also... Do they have the possiblilty to win the case? I think in the first place the girls should stay away from doing stupid things.
