Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982
Section 52A: Possession of indecent photographs of children.
(1) It is an offence for a person to have any indecent photograph or pseudo-photograph of a child in his possession.
(2) Where a person is charged with an offence under subsection (1), it shall be a defence for him to prove—
(a) that he had a legitimate reason for having the photograph or pseudo-photograph in his possession; or
(b) that he had not himself seen the photograph or pseudo-photograph and did not know, nor had any cause to suspect, it to be indecent; or
(c) that the photograph or pseudo-photograph was sent to him without any prior request made by him or on his behalf and that he did not keep it for an unreasonable time.

So you're off the hook if you didn't ask for it to be sent, and delete it within a "reasonable time", which presumably means you're allowed to keep it long enough to show the police (since otherwise you'd be destroying evidence).
"Sexting" between two teenagers is a felony in Texas!

Because if they are under the age of consent, then they are minors.
