Same thing, usually. The sexting is usually the least of the crimes going on. May seem unfair if parents are pushing for arrest but put yourself in their place. And often it is an older person involved. I don't know of any cases with danger of...or involved with.... people of the same or similar age where someone got unjustly punished. Show me a case of same age sexting unjust harsh punishment that is not an anomaly.
Significantly older, or even slightly older, yes, totally. Between a couple in a relationship? There's a lot of things to be considered. Is it right to send someone else's photo? Never. Is it ok for two sixteen year olds to have photos of each other? Maybe, even if I personally think it's a stupid idea that could potentially fuck them up should those photos be seen by other people.
I'm sure, as you say, it is an anomaly. But. The question being asked is whether someone, as a sex offender, deserves a second chance. And should this hypothetical teen who had a photo of themselves or their girlfriend/boyfriend be charged/considered as such, I don't think they should be in the same category as an adult viewing child porn.
Do sex offenders deserve a second chance?

It's a hugely messed up area.
