Earlier this year, Vermont became one of the first states to look at whether changes should be made to state criminal statutes to reduce or even decriminalize sexting for teens. After considerable debate both in-state and nationally, the legislature decided to retain criminal penalties for the activity, but redirected most cases to juvenile court.
