Increasingly the answer is no. Although prosecutors and judges generally do a good job of protecting teens who get caught in the juvenile justice system for these offenses, there are cases where prosecutors become overzealous or teens accept plea bargains without fully appreciating the impact of being placed on a sex offender registry. New proposals in states such as New Jersey would exempt teens from the registry for sexting, although it would still maintain the criminal status of the offense.
