is she comitting a crime by dancing nude on a webcam through facebook?

[Enrique]

the brother of my girlfriend showed us a girl dancing live completely nude through the video chat on facebook. problem is, she is only 16. is she breaking any law for being a minor and she is the author of exposing herself?

I read this wrong at first. He is violating a major child pornography law and is liable for his actions. I would report him for possession of child pornography to your local law enforcement.

Yes, it is always illegal to go nude in public or in the web whatever age you are.

If she's aware she's being filmed and willing to do it, yes. whoever's behind that kiddy porn show is definitely guilty of committing a crime. It might be her, or it might be someone who put her up to it.

She is very likely violating the law doing this.

However contrary to one answer here it is not against the law everywhere. Some states permit nudity in public (Oregon for one) and being online is not considered public so there would be no violation of public nudity doing this. Where she is likely to get into trouble is because she is probably acting in a sexual nature which makes it p***ographic and thus against the law as it would be distributing child p***ography and the viewer could also be in trouble for 'downloading' the material.

However there is one condition if she meets it where it would not be considered p***ography and thus could be legal. United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit (case 000–5124) has ruled that photographs, videos and such which depict "Naturists" (people who like to be nude) in non-sexual situations is not a violation of p***ography laws and thus acceptable. And so if she is a 'naturist' and enjoys being nude in general (there are varying degrees of naturism from nude at home to public nudity) and she just happens to be nude while chatting online then she would not be in violation of the law.

That being said, should it come to light it is very likely that some aggressive Prosecuting Attorney may charge her initially although it is likely to get dropped or have her found not guilty should she bring up this defense.

The key is if she is behaving in a 'sexual' manner or just chatting online much the same as if she was fully dressed.
