Child porn charges for 14-year-old girl who allegedly posted explicit photos of HERSELF on MySpace

A 14-year-old American girl may have to register as a sex offender after allegedly posting explicit nude photographs of herself on MySpace.

The New Jersey teenager has been charged with possession of child pornography and distribution of child pornography after it's claimed she posted nearly 30 pictures of herself online.

“She wanted her boyfriend to see them,” said a New Jersey sheriff’s spokesman.

Social networking website MySpace has a team in place that monitors the posting of inappropriate images. The company would not comment on the New Jersey investigation.

If convicted, the girl could face up to 17 years jail although a harsh sentence is unlikely.

The arrest, which followed a tip from America’s National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, comes as prosecutors across the country pursue child pornography cases over kids sending naked photographs to each other by cell phones and emails.

The girl has been released into her mother’s custody.

well she was asking for it posting them on the internet but still putting her on the sex offenders list is a bit to far
