Well, if he got a bit excited about it all, then the picture WOULD be deemed indecent. Just nude wouldn't.
Not really considered that. Really the detail of the pictures are important to work out if they are indecent (not that I want to actually see them). Do they use the Mull of Kintyre rule that TV does?robinessex said:

Context is important too. If a picture of my two year old in the bath was found in my collection of family photos I don't imagine anyone would bat an eyelid, let alone judge it indecent. But if it was found in my porn collection...?
Similarly the context in which the boy sent nude pictures to the girl (which we dn't know, but can speculate on) matters.
Context is unimportant in relation to recording this offence. It may count towards him not being prosecuted - if he sends her a photo via phone or online of himself naked - showing his bits and pieces then its an indecent image of a child and it gets recorded accordingly.Similarly the context in which the boy sent nude pictures to the girl (which we dn't know, but can speculate on) matters.

If it helps, When i worked in a camera the highlight of the year were the 'holiday'snaps.
We checked them 'just in case'
The lab didnt print or send out the hard core ones
BUT the rule was
Flaccid OK
Erect Nono
Open legs OK
Open legs and hand involved Nono
Genitals in close proximiy even if flaccid male NoNo
HTH And NO there are no examples
That's a pretty accurate statement. In the days when naturists used to take their holiday snaps to Boots, that criteria was applied, and I've never heard of any prosecutons resulting. naturist style pics were accepted for what they were, and no age criteria was ever applied. I rummaged in my old photo box last night, and found quite a few pictues of pictures of me, my sister, and quite a few cousins playing in the seaside edge, all of us starkers, when we were kids.
