A felony for a selfie? Teen sexts pose a paradox for police

Clip: 10/29/2014 | 8m 13s

Judy Woodruff interviews Hanna Rosin about a case in Virginia.

Teen sexting is very common, and in many states it’s also a crime. When a teen sends a sexually explicit photo of themselves, is that child both the perpetrator and the victim of child pornography? As part of a collaboration between The Atlantic and the PBS NewsHour, Judy Woodruff interviews Hanna Rosin about a case in Virginia and the peculiar challenges raised by juvenile sexting.
