Had Intimate chat with a below 18 year girl wrongly

826 votes

Mutual sexual chats with a minor (below 18) can fall under POCSO even if no photos were shared and no meeting took place, because “sexual communication with a child” is treated as sexual harassment under the Act. However, since you stopped the chats immediately after knowing her age and no explicit content was exchanged, the police generally verify both sides and may close the matter if there is no exploitation. If her parents complain later, you will need proper legal defence to avoid unnecessary charges and protect your rights. I can help you with preventive legal steps, drafting your defence, and guiding you safely through the process. Reach out for detailed guidance in a confidential manner.
