My question involves criminal law for the state of: Pennsylvania
So a few days ago my younger brother got a call from a cop. The cop asked him if he was familiar with the “MeetMe” app. My brother replied yes but stated he hadn’t used it in a while. The cop then states he called because a profile with a picture of him was reported for being underage, also the name didn’t match my brothers name. He asked my brother if he did indeed make those accounts both my brother declined. The cop then sent him one of the pictures via text to confirm it was a pic of him and my brother said yes that’s a pic of me, the cop also had other pics but they were graphic so he didn’t send them. Then the cop asked him what he was doing on two separate dates, when those two separate accounts were made with his pics were reported. My brother said he didn’t know, the cop said it’s no big deal. The cop said at that point he’s absolved of anything and that he just had to look into it to make sure my brother was indeed an adult or the pics were of an adult. The cop said if someone else was using his pictures to make fake accounts that he should lock down all his social media. The thing is my brother lied he did create the accounts and posted nude photos of himself on his profile and even though he lied to the cop I’m certain the cop knew he was lying. The cop even said I don’t care what you do in your free time, your not in any trouble and if you do use the app again make sure you put the correct age in also the cop said he wouldn’t call again.
I apologize for this being so long, I described it as good as I can. My brother has been freaking out the past three days. I made him delete any form of social media. My question is, granted the cop said he’s absolved and not in any trouble, technically he did expose himself to minors potentially. Does the cop just not care or want to deal with it? I told him he could possibly be charged with a felony, but I figured if they were gonna charge him that he would have already been arrested.
Thanks for your time.
