A county attorney in Iowa has threatened to sue a 14-year-
The old girl who sexually exploited minors, after she sent her own suggestive photos to a boy at school, she agreed to sue the girl\'s family for violating her constitutional protection of equal speech.
The girl\'s parents tried to keep their names secret to protect her identity, and they issued a statement through the American Civil Liberties Union in Iowa, which represented the family in the lawsuit, said Marion County prosecutor Ed Bull abused his authority to bully their daughter and imposed \"his own ethical standards of gender discrimination\" on her.
\"We tried to work with him, but he refused to give in and insisted that our daughter admit the crime she had not committed,\" they said . \".

Lawyers representing girls and Bulls filed an agreement Thursday to dismiss the case.
ACLU said the county agreed to pay $40,000 in legal fees.
The bull did not repent.
\"My job as a county attorney is to do justice.
\"Nothing can or will change that,\" he said . \".
\"I will put ACLU\'s dismissal file in my profile and go back to serve my community right away.
\"In the spring of 2016, the girl sent two photos to the boy via the SMS app Snapchat.
No nudity on the photo.
One of them is wearing a sports bra and shorts, and the other is wearing shorts with hair covering the chest.
The boy apparently shared them with other students who were found in a porn survey at Knoxville High School, which had about 600 students, about 40 miles (65 kilometres)

The Bull says the child he wants to participate in \"has no life and can have the opportunity to learn from the mistakes --
