6 Pennsylvania Teens Face Child Porn Charges For Pics of Selves

mikesd81 writes “MSNBC reports six Pennsylvania high school students are facing child pornography charges after three teenage girls allegedly took nude or semi-nude photos of themselves and shared them with male classmates via their cell phones. Apparently, female students at Greensburg Salem High School in Greensburg, Pa., all 14 or 15 years old, face charges of manufacturing, disseminating or possessing child pornography while the boys, who are 16 and 17, face charges of possession. Police told the station that the photos were discovered in October, after school officials seized a cell phone from a male student who was using it in violation against school policy and the photos were discovered at that time. Police Capt. George Seranko was quoted as saying that the first photograph was ‘a self portrait taken of a juvenile female taking pictures of her body, nude.’ The school district issued a statement Tuesday saying that the investigation turned up ‘no evidence of inappropriate activity on school grounds … other than the violation of the electronic devices policy.'”
