Q: What is my legal responsibility if I know my 18 year old son sent a sexually explicit video to a minor?
I found out yesterday, that my 18 year old son sent a VERY sexually explicit video of himself masturbating to one of his little sisters figure skating coaches, who is 16. She does not want to press charges, even though we've told her she should. Am I responsible for notifying the police of this, if she is unwilling, since I know about it and he was living in my house when it happened?
A: Woah. You need to get specifically tailored legal advice from a local criminal defense attorney about this. It is not a basic question at all.
