Yes, the laws can seem pretty blanketing but the people who deal with the results generally aren't; I'm sure the boys won't get a criminal record or have a legal charge but they'll certainly get a "lesson" about nude pictures and sharing them, especially of actual people they know? I think there is often no other way to teach that lesson because some parents have abdicated "noticing" what is going on in their kids lives. I don't see how a 13 year old is allowed to have anyone in the house if they're home alone (big screen television) or allowed to take electronics out of the home (ipad).
I have a friend whose 12-13 year old daughter ran up the cable bill accessing porn in the middle of the night when the parents were sleeping, one does expect some of that from both sexes but the blatant disrespect of self and others that this original incident involves I put to the adults not having a very good/thorough relationship with the kids.
