Different states in this country have assorted punishments for the act that you have written about. Additionally, the sending of such photos to minors could also be in violation of federal law as well.
The conduct that you have written about would be defined by statute in each individual state and under federal law and could be be a crime or not depending upon what the current state of the law is.
Your question is too broadly written in that much depends upon the age of the person sending the pornographic material, the intent of the sender, and what is actually being depicted that is being sent in relationship to a specific statute of a given state. I suggest that sending such material to a minor or an adult is not a wise thing to do.
