illigal? She's 16. Age of consent is 16.
Sending a naked image of yourself via text message, or social media, when you’re below the age of 18 is technically illegal. It counts as an offence of distributing an indecent image of a child and is something you could receive a police caution for. You could even end up on the sex offenders register.
Detective Sergeant Jan Rusdale of the Nottinghamshire force warns: “[People who do it] could end up on the register for a couple of years. When they come to getting a job this would then count against them.”
Sonn adds: “The law doesn’t distinguish between an indecent image of you and an indecent image of someone else.”

Age of consent is 16 yes, however I'm sure it's illegal to sext under 18s

Well said
I think its wrong for someone at the age of 16 to receive sexting messages from someone 20 years old.
Why would a 20 year old even do that

Think it's fairly creepy tbh.
Stop sending her pictures of your D if you know it's illegal you dimwit.

I guess so. like what is the definition of normal anyway
There was some publicity recently because it was still legal for an adult to send a child of any age a text with graphic content because the content was in the form of text not photo. From what I remember, following an nspcc campaign, this changed.
It depends what you mean by sexting as talking about sex with a person of the age of consent wouldn't be illegal. Sending or receiving pictures would be because it falls under the child pornography laws.
Morally...
Personally why would you want to? I literally do not understand it. When you leave school, usually, you experience the feeling of seeing how young school kids are and seeing your own maturity mirrored in that. In your 20s what could you possibly have in common with a child? Who for all intents and purposes still is a child. They're still dependent on an adult and have very limited life experience.
4 years difference isn't a lot when those people are adults but when one person is 16 that is the difference between someone sitting their GCSEs and someone nearly graduating uni. Completely different levels of maturity and worldliness

two 17 year olds in a relationship that send each other nudes are 'criminals' and could end up on the sex register?
ridiculous.

just because it is the law doesn't mean it ought to be the law.

the law is there for a reason.

the law in general, or that particular legislation that makes 17 year olds freely sending each other certain pictures sex offenders?
Would you like it if that was your sister sexting a random 20 year old? Depends on the people and the situation.
Morality isn't absolute, but it depends on who its affecting. It can easily be a damaging situation.
