Even if both people are under the age of 16, you can be prosecuted. This might include being put on the sex offenders register and getting a criminal record.
Sexting
It is against the law as whoever has that picture on their phone, is technically in possession of an indecent image of a child. If the people involved in sexting are under 18, this is illegal (even if the person is your boyfriend or girlfriend). This means that person can be prosecuted under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
