Hume Local Area Command police officers have responded to reports of it in some schools in the region.
Sexting is the use of online or mobile media technologies to share explicit pictures, with or without consent. Although New South Wales' law permits consensual sexting from age 16, an overarching national law bans it until age 18. As such, sexting is a crime when it involves children (under 18) or anyone of any age who sexts without consent or to harrass. This includes images of genitals covered by underwear, or exposed while dressing, toileting, bathing, or during intercourse. Read more here.
