Sex, Cell Phone | featured news

More than 20 percent of black and Hispanic teens say they have used their cellphones to send a "sext" message showing a nude or semi-nude photo or video of themselves to another person, and more than 30 percent say they have received such sext messages, according to a new study.

A new study finds that teens who had access to the Internet on their cellphones were more than twice as likely to engage in sex with a person they met online compared with those without access to the Internet on their phones.

Teens who text 120 times a day or more — and there seems to be a lot of them — are more likely to have had sex or used alcohol and drugs than kids who don't send as many messages, according to provocative new research.

The police department in Ontario, Calif., was sued after the chief read sexually explicit texts sent by officers. An appeals court sided with officers, saying they had an expectation of privacy.

More than a quarter of young people have been involved in sexting in some form, an Associated Press-MTV poll found.
