sexual-assault
Why does the Wikipedia article on &quot;sex offender&quot; list &quot;sexting&quot; as a crime?
<blockquote>
  <p>Some of the crimes which usually result in a mandatory sex-offender classification are: a second prostitution conviction, <strong><em>sending or receiving obscene content in the form of SMS text messages (sexting)</em></strong></p>
</blockquote>

<p>Wait... How is "sexting" a "sex crime" or "sex offense"? Is it implying that it's done to a minor? Has the article been vandalized?</p>

<h2>Because in some jurisdictions it is</h2>
<p>While sexting underage subjects is pretty much a crime universally, sexting of anyone is illegal in many jurisdictions, For example, in most countries that follow Sharia law.</p>
