Sexting minors is illegal, but having sex with them is okay, an Indiana Supreme Court has ruled.
Indiana high school teacher Sameer Thakar faces three years in prison for sending nude photographs to a 16-year old girl after the Supreme Court ruled earlier this week to reverse a lower court’s decision to throw out the case.
Thakar began texting the teenager in 2014, when he was 38. After a short period in which the girl told him she was underage, he then sent her images of his erect penis, court documents reveal.

Maybe they got this BACKWARDS ! ?? You Think ??? Dugh !!
This is just a start said it for years first push homosexuality then transgender on to pedophiles and finally beastiality
While the ruling seems to be consistent with the law, it does seem downright stupid. The law needs to be fixed.
un-effin-believable.
It is a Harvey Wienstein world I'm afraid.
Shows You have Idiots in Charge in Govt !!!! Ruining USA
The Legislature writes laws; Courts review and pass judgement on their constitutionality, and whether they have been violated.
Indiana's age of sexual consent is 16, so the girl could have sex; apparently never happened. Teacher might have been barred if he was her teacher, but apparently any other 38 year old she might have chosen would be legal. That's their state law, probably in effect for a while.
Sending the photo to someone under 18 is illegal under another state law. That is what he was convicted of. That law was apparently passed more recently without reconciling its age 18 inconsistency with the age of consent law.
Thus the quandary. Given the facts the Court arrived at the correct answer and avoided legislating from the bench. The legislature can find a more logical solution, if they choose.
IDIOTS!
