You need to contact the police about this as he is an online predator that may be doing this to many teen girls and there’s a good chance he’s much older than he claims to be. Tell your parents or another adult you trust and then contact the police. It’s extremely unlikely that you would face any charges for sexting him. You are a victim and not a perpetrator, so the police would not go after you, but he could be facing very serious charges especially if he’s doing this to multiple girls. “Sextortion” must be taken seriously as it can lead to devastating results for victims who get caught up in sex rings. Please read one of our sextortion articles, so you know how very serious this can be. Online predators often can be tracked down through their IP addresses. Again, please talk to an adult you trust about this even a school counselor can help and then report it to the police. Stay strong and stay safe.
