> Foster said the case began when the teen’s 15-year-old girlfriend sent photos of herself to the 17-year-old, who in turn sent her the video in question.

He possesses the photos of his girlfriend, and he manufactured the photos of himself.

It isn't certain that he is in possession of anything. Which yields another question: If you receive sexually explicit photos of an underage person on Snapchat, which deletes the photos immediately after you receive them, what child pornography laws did you violate? And could you be prosecuted for it, given that you had no idea what you were about to receive before you opened them?
