Re: Teen penalties

Section 18.2-154 of the Code of Virginia criminalizes this activity as

either a Class 4 (2 to 10 years in the penitentiary and fine up to $100K)or Class 6 felony(1 to 5 years in pentitentiary or 12 months in local jail with fine up to $2500.)

There are apparently no special exemptions or lower penalties conferred by the offender being a teenager.
