Sadly, many of today's youths make mistakes that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. The girl was stupid for flashing. But her image will be out there for the rest of her life. The boys will recover and go on to lead pretty normal lives.
Like many laws today, they fail to reflect on the changing cultures. Sexting is completely acceptable behavior among teens. Its no different with Polaroids 15 years ago. The difference now is that its a major headline especially on the net and it provides prosecutors, judges, and politicians as well as the religious morons all the ammo they need to put these "deviants" behind bars and claim a win for the righteous and moral.
WRT to age of consent, the law should be the same across the nation but this is what happens when you allow states to choose their own laws. The majority of states allow the girl to consent at 16 whereas some states permit the boys to consent at 14. What is against the law in one state is perfectly legal in another.
