🛡️ Teen Boundaries, Consent, and the Law: What Teens Must Know About Sexual Misconduct *coming soon
Course overview
Lesson Overview

1.94 – When You Forward an Image — and Go to Jail: Sharing someone else’s private photo, even once, can break the law. Many teens think forwarding a nude image is just gossip or payback, but it can lead to criminal charges. Laws in many states treat it as distributing child pornography if the person is underage. That can mean arrest, court, and even being placed on the sex offender registry. Saying “I didn’t take it” doesn’t make it okay to share it. Each time the image spreads, it multiplies the harm done to the victim. Friendships, reputations, and families can all be destroyed by one impulsive message. Police can trace images back through phones and social media accounts. Deleting it doesn’t erase the evidence because screenshots and backups remain. Understanding that digital actions leave permanent trails helps prevent heartbreak. Respecting privacy online is as serious as respecting it in person. Forwarding an image without consent isn’t a joke—it’s a crime that can follow you for life.
