Q: I’m a fourteen year old Bi male, and using Omegle I’ve had camera sex a few times with other consenting users. I was wondering if this is ever illegal in anyway, or if it’s something I shouldn’t be doing, and I’d love some advice.
A: Thanks for your question. Since you are a minor (under age 18), any sexual act that you broadcast over the Internet technically counts as child pornography, even if it is consensual. While this likely would not get you in much trouble (except, perhaps, with your parents if they found out and were upset), the stranger on the other end of the chat could get in a lot of trouble (possession of and/or viewing child pornography can be a federal crime).
On another note, the Omegle web site does not seem to list any rules. In fact, available background details about the site are quite hard to find. Because of this, you might want to consider the slight possibility that your communications can be unknowingly recorded by either Omegle or by the strangers who you are communicating with on the site– I.e., your video could be seen by more people than those who you’ve had cam sex with. Since the site doesn’t really offer any information about itself, it’s not a bad idea to be a little extra cautious.
Be safe! And if you have further questions, feel free to write us back.
