Who's the criminal if they're both underage? We know what the jury thinks, but that notwithstanding.

The person possessing the image, unless they are the person in that image.

The person distributing that image, unless they are the person in that image.

The person taking the image, unless they are the person in that image.

The person causing that image to be taken whether by normal persuasion, or by coercion, or financial incentive, or violence. (Unless they are the person in that image).

I'm not keen on using that bit of criminal law on children. It doesn't feel like justice, and it doesn't seem to be working.
