Ok, serious question here.
If you and your girlfriend are both under 18, and she sends you pictures of her, naked, is it legal? Or is it considered "child porn"?
Remember, she's your girlfriend, and you're both under 18.

Unless you are both over 18, it is illegal EVERYWHERE

I'm actually not sure about this. You say she is sending you pictures -- that means it's a private thing, not something that's being posted for the public to look at. If for some reason your computer was searched for "child porn," it's possible you could get in trouble for having pictures of someone under 18... but your also being under 18 would be a consideration there (unless you are 17 and she is 12, or something like that). The law's not the same in every case. A 50 year old man keeping pictures of nude 10 year olds on his computer is much different than a 17 year old having private pictures of his 17 year old girlfriend on his computer... Check out this Wikipedia article for some more info. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_pornography#United_States

No matter what age you are, it is illegal. If you are 16 or 50, you will still be prosecuted for having child pornography. I would suggest you not continue taking these photos

It's true. No matter what age you are, if she's a minor (under 18) it's definitely illegal.
The courts will not think favourably of your assertion that she's your girlfriend, because a) you could be lying b) it shows you and her are promiscuous c) promiscuity is looked upon unfavourably by general society, which a jury will represent.
But honestly, they have no reason to check your computer. Still, it's no harm to just simply delete the stuff. Why do you need it?

Yeah, I agree it's probably not a good idea to save these pictures on your computer, just in case your computer were to ever be searched. To be honest, I doubt you would ever be prosecuted for this, but if there is anyone else who has access to your computer, it would be a good idea to NOT have them saved on there.

Thanks guys, but I never said someone was sending me pictures. It was just a question, just curious I guess, that's why I didn't give that much information, because it's not happening to me. I just think it's stupid that (in Canada anyway), you can have sex once you're 14, but you can't send pictures to your girlfriend/boyfriend. I mean, you saw her naked, and you had sex, but you can't send pictures. Also, sorry if I reply 2 months later.

I know- we were talking about this in pshe... you also (used to be able to) get the death penalty in the USA when you were under 18, but not drink. If you're adult enough to get tried as as an adult, and punished as an adult, you should be able to do things, like drink, as an adult does.
