The Washington Post reported this Kafkaesque story yesterday, In ‘sexting’ case Manassas City police want to photograph teen in sexually explicit manner "A Manassas City teenager accused of ‘sexting’ a video to his girlfriend is now facing a search warrant in which Manassas City police and Prince William County prosecutors want to take a photo of his erect penis, possibly forcing the teen to become erect by taking him to a hospital and giving him an injection, the teen’s lawyers said. A Prince William County judge allowed the 17-year-old to leave the area without the warrant being served or the pictures being taken — yet.
The teen is facing two felony charges, for possession of child pornography and manufacturing child pornography, which could lead not only to incarceration until he’s 21, but inclusion on the state sex offender data base for, possibly, the rest of his life. David Culver of NBC Washington first reported the story and interviewed the teen’s guardian, his aunt, who was shocked at the lengths Prince William authorities were willing to go to make a sexting case in juvenile court."
There have been some updates, but as near as I can tell (I had to look up the phrase "nolle prosequi" which was misspelled) it's just been statements and noise and nothing substantive.
Update: Police drop plans to photograph teen’s erection in sexting case
