Probably. And it's altogether possible that if that minor posts those pictures on the internet, he or she could be charged with violating the federal laws against child pornography - and that's a serious felony.
If this is actually happening, or about to happen, the minor needs a good defense lawyer, because this is big trouble. One place to find a qualified attorney is our website, http://attorneypages.com
