“Sexting”: children who generate, 
receive and share sexual images of themselves do not produce and possess “child pornography”.

Consejo de Europa

“Sexting” by children (generating, receiving and sharing sexually suggestive or explicit images/videos of themselves through mobile technology) does not amount to conduct related to “child pornography”, when it is intended solely for the children’s own private use. Children coerced into such conduct should be addressed to victim support and not subjected to criminal prosecution.

These are among the key conclusions of the opinion of the Council of Europe’s Lanzarote Committee, the body in charge of monitoring the implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on the protection of children against sexual exploitation and sexual abuse, published last week. The Opinion on child sexually suggestive or explicit images and/or videos generated, shared and received by children, provides guidance to States on how to address the challenges raised by the relatively new phenomenon of “sexting”, which has been on the rise in Europe over the past years. In 2018, as many as one in four child sex images online were originally ‘self-generated’ by children, and the age of the children involved has been steadily decreasing.

While the Lanzarote Committee does not endorse the practice of “sexting”, it seeks to ensure that the best interests of the child always be a primary consideration, and holds that:

1.    Children’s conduct (self-generation, sharing, reception and possession of images) does not amount to the “production, possession, offering or making available, distributing or transmitting, procuring, or knowingly obtaining access to child pornography” when it is intended solely for their own private use;

2.    When the child sexual images/videos are generated by very young children or children in particularly vulnerable situations, these children should be addressed to victim support and not subjected to criminal prosecution as these children should be considered victims of manipulation or coercion;

3.    When children knowingly distribute sexual images and videos that were meant to remain private, they should be criminally prosecuted for intentional conduct related to “child pornography” only as a last resort, and priority should be given to more appropriate methods of dealing with their harmful behaviour (e.g. educational measures, therapeutic assistance).

In 2018, the Internet Watch Foundation has warned of the rise in sexual imagery created by children aged between 11 and 15 y.o. after it uncovered and removed “record amounts” of child sexual abuse content in that year. Europol, too, points out that “material initially shared with innocent intent, often finds its way to ‘collectors’, who often proceed to exploit the victim, in particular by means of extorsion”.
