[Q&A] Can I Get Him Arrested?
POSTED almost 11 years AGO BY A THIN LINE IN sexting, Q and A
<p>Earlier this year, a guy I was talking to but was not dating asked me to send him "dirty pictures." The guy I sent the pictures to has pictures of about 30 other girls on his phone. Is there anyone I can talk to who can help me get through this without my parents finding out (therapy is probably out of the question)? Is there any legal action I can take to get the guy arrested and put on the sex offenders list, without getting myself in trouble? I wanna prevent other girls from falling in the same trap that I did with that guy.</p>
