The boy, who lives in the north of England, was not charged -- but he has been warned that the offence might have to be disclosed when he applies for jobs.

鈥淗e was in his bedroom at his dad鈥檚 the night before, he was flirting with the girl and he sent a picture of himself via something called Snapchat,鈥 the boy鈥檚 mother told Justin Webb.

鈥淪imon explained to me: 鈥業t鈥檚 just instant Mum 鈥 you take a picture, you send it and it鈥檚 gone.鈥欌
