Word got out at his high school, police said, and when authorities tracked the teen down, they discovered a cache of naked images on his phone.Thus began another investigation into “sexting” — sending sexually explicit photos by cellphone — and another deliberation about when adolescent impulsiveness and indiscretion become a serious criminal act.
