Yes, the police may find out if they begin to investigate the matter and interview the girl and she tells them about the pics you sent. That doesn’t mean that you should be harassed. She still could face consequences for her online behavior depending on the law of your state as well as the facts and circumstances. Talk to your parents or another adult you trust about it, so that they can help you put an end to the harassment. You should not have to deal with it. As for the pics you sent, you can find out more about the sexting laws in your state here. Good luck. (Check our Teen Help Network for more help and resources in your area.
