Boy, now 16, granted judicial review, which will decide if police must delete record about photo he sent on Snapchat in 2015A teenage boy has won the right to try to force the police to delete details about him sexting a schoolgirl via social media. Although the boy was not arrested or prosecuted, Greater Manchester police have kept a record of the incident, which took place in 2015. She told the BBC: “It’s going to be held there infinitum, so for all his adult life it hangs over him. The decision came days after police figures suggested the number of sexting cases involving children has more than doubled in two years, leading a senior officer to warn about deficiencies in proper sex education. Police said reports come from children as young as 10, with cases peaking around the age of 14.
