Va. 'sexting' probe implicates more than 100 teens

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — More than 100 central Virginia teenagers have been implicated in a six-county “sexting” investigation, authorities said Tuesday.

But Maj. Donald A. Lowe, chief deputy for the Louisa County Sheriff’s Office, said authorities are using the case more for teaching parents and teens about sexting than for law enforcement. Only three or four people might be charged as a result of an investigation that uncovered more than 1,000 photos or videos of nude or semi-nude teens on cellphones and social media, he said.
