In Canada, a young girl age 16 was convicted of distributing child pornography in connection with "sexting", and sending uttering threats out. It was a picture of the girls boyfriend's ex-girlfriend, it all started in November 2012 when the girl found out that her boyfriend was still in contact with his ex. She sent this picture out of spite before thinking about the consequences that come along with it. This is believed to be the first cases in Canada where a teen has been convicted of charges relating pornography and sexting. She is out on bail waiting for sentencing. They say that this should be a wake up call and serve as a warning to teens as to what they text and put on the internet.
