Canadian Teen Sexter Guilty of Child Porn Possession
Lawyer representing the 16-year-old girl says he will challenge the verdict
A teenager in Canada has been found guilty of possessing and disseminating child pornography after sending text messages containing naked images of her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend.
The teenager - who was aged 16 at the time of the offence - had been shown the photos by her boyfriend, then sent them to a friend.
The court heard her aim had been to humiliate and intimidate her victim.
The lawyer representing the teenager says he will challenge the verdict.
The victim was of a similar age to the accused, which meant the images were deemed to be child pornography. The teenager was also charged with "uttering threats".
