Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Re: Laws regarding so-called ''cyber sex''

From your email it's obvious that while, she is under 18, you haven't seen that birthday for a long time. [She may also be under 13 or (s)he may be a law enforcement officer - how do you know?]

Here's an excerpt from Michigan law regarding sexually explicit material, i.e. porn:

(4) A person knows the status of a minor if the person either is aware that the person who is permitted to examine the matter is under 18 years of age or recklessly disregards a substantial risk that the person who is permitted to examine the matter is under 18 years of age.

(5) Displaying sexually explicit matter to a minor is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 90 days or a fine of not more than $5,000.00, or both.

(6) This section does not apply if a person displays sexually explicit matter to a minor by means of the internet or a computer network unless 1 or both of the following apply:

(a) The matter is obscene as that term is defined in section 2 of 1984 PA 343, MCL 752.362.

(b) The prosecuting attorney proves that the person displayed the matter to 1 or more specific minors and knew his or her status as a minor.

The next step up is if she sends you sexually explicit material of herself and she really is under 18. If you get caught with it, it's a 4 year felony.
