Posted on March 15, 2018June 25, 2025 by Dissent

Brad Kutner reports:

The Fourth Circuit Thursday has sided with a Virginia teen who claimed police officers violated his right to privacy by forcing him  to masturbate as they gathered evidence against him for “sexting” his underage girlfriend.

Trey Sims, of Prince William County, Virginia, was 17 when he was arrested in 2014 for sending sexually explicit photographs and videos of himself to his 15-year-old girlfriend.

During the investigation of the case, a detective obtained a warrant to detain the boy, then demanded he masturbate while being filmed.
