Can a parent press charges against their 14 year old child and my 18 year old son regarding an indecent exposure case?
Question Details:
My 18 year old son and a 14 year old girl began a friendship 6 weeks ago that turned into frequent texting. The 14 year old girl initiated the relationship and began sending my son nude pictures of herself and sending provocative messages and encouraged him to do the same. Like an idiot he did it and the girl's mom found out. Now she wants to press charges against my son and her daughter. Can she do that and what recourse do I have? This is his first run-in with the law.
Criminal Defense Law Answers
This is a child pornography case and yes it is serious. That said, your son needs to hire an attorney as soon as possible and not say anything without advice of counsel.
I wish I could give you a simple answer here that would ease your worrying, but I have seen many cases like this and they are very serious.
Retain an attorney today, so your son will not make admissions and make this worse. This is very serious and should be treated as such. On a side note, make sure your son has no more contact with the 14 year old. No text or phone. No contact whatsoever.
Hope this helps.
