Answer:
Yes, it is illegal for anyone under seventeen years old to send or possess indecent images of themselves. In Louisiana, the law prohibits individuals under this age from knowingly using a computer or telecommunication device to transmit indecent visual depictions of themselves (La. R.S. § 14:81.1.1).
An indecent visual depiction includes any photograph or video showing a person under seventeen engaged in sexually explicit conduct, which covers actions like masturbation or lewd exposure of genitals or breasts.
If a person under seventeen sends such images, they can face legal consequences, which may include fines and community service requirements.
