Hence to avoid such consequences which will ruin the child later on, the authority should take account of sexting as a common practice among young people, in order to avoid criminalizing or stigmatizing young people as child sex offenders. The key task in relation to the ways would be to find some sort of exception, defense or something along those lines excluding sexting from child pornography offences while at the same time avoiding creating some sort of a loophole that can be used by serious child pornography offenders. 2010-10 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/33080/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/33080/1/33080.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA Faculty of Law Mohd Yassin, Siti Hajar (Assoc.
