Question: Is online dating a minor legal?

It is important to understand that the possession or distribution of sexually-oriented images of a minor—anyone under 18 years of age—is a crime; it is a crime that comes with penalties that can mean the end of your life as you know it. There is no way to verify the age of the person you are communicating with online.

Can you go to jail for talking to a minor online?

For example, if you were to chat with minors online and sent the minor a nude photo of yourself, you could be charged under Penal Code Section 288.2. A charge under Penal Code Section 288.2 can result in a felony conviction punishable by up to three years in state prison and lifetime registration as a sex offender.
