DENVER (AP) — Officials investigating an apparently extensive case of sexting at a southern Colorado high school are suggesting parents check their children’s phones for explicit selfies while also trying to reassure the teens involved that it’s not the “end of the world.”
Following tips to Canon City High School officials and a hotline, police said Friday that, so far, they have one phone with hundreds of images they will be working to identify. School enrollment is about 1,000.
An unspecified number of students have been suspended and the school forfeited its final football game of the season because of the number of players involved.
When it comes to possible criminal charges, however, the district attorney says he’s focus mainly on things like whether anyone was coerced into sharing photos and whether any adults were involved.
