Maurice Washington Faces Charges

Here's an example from my world, just last week.

A freshman at my son's high school, a kid we've known since they played Little League together, pulls his d!(k out in class and absent-mindedly plays with it under the desk. Another kid sees him doing it and films it on his phone. The clip gets sent around the school and everyone knows about it. Presumably to embarrass the kid, who -- let's face it - made the 100% avoidable choice of pulling his d!(k out of his pants in class.

Having spent the morning reading this thread, I informed my son just now that he and his friends have been distributing child porn. 

Huh, he said.

My word

 
When I was 14 I lost my virginity to a 20 year old.  Now that I'm 32, if I wanted to be a real douche, I could probably still find a way to get her in massive amounts of trouble right?

I don't think sending the video back to the person qualifies as "revenge porn" because it is still private. Even if he's charged, the prosecution still has to meet each element of the crime which I don't think they will be able to do.

This is where I get confused. I always thought revenge porn was posting videos for all to see, like Hulk Hogan's unsuspecting sex tape

The dictionary definition may not be the same as the legal definition in California, and if there is not a precise legal definition, they would have to go by how the courts have defined distribution.

Based on California's law of the definition of statutory rape, 'm not going to try to figure if they take the Webster's Dictionary version of "distribution" literally
