The Kentucky Supreme Court heard arguments Thurs on whether sexual conduct between two teenagers should be prosecuted as a crime.
The case, from Woodford County, involves a 15 year old boy and his 13 year old girlfriend.
The boy pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors for having sex and exchanging nude photos with his girlfriend. He was designated a juvenile sex offender. The girl was not charged.
An attorney for the boy said the teens had no intention of committing a crime.
The attorney general’s office says the boy was charged because he initiated the acts and had previously been charged with indecent exposure in a separate case.
No date has been set for the court to issue a ruling.
