In Utah, can an 18 year old get arrested for sexting, mutually, with a minor? Both people sending and receiving?

Yes, an 18 year old can get arrested for sexting, mutually, with a minor - and the minor can be arrested as well.

Here is a link to the laws in Utah (from Monica Steiner, Criminal Defense Lawyer, published by NOLO):

Even though many young people have excused their sexting by saying, "Everyone does it," because sexting has consequences that reach far beyond criminal charges, "Everyone should NOT do it." It can make a mess of a young person's future.
