Quiter said she was proud of Ruiz for taking on such a tough and controversial issue, which showed that student journalists can make a difference.

Journalism teacher Melissa Quiter said adults at the school were “clueless” about the site until Ruiz wrote about it. Nagel said Orinda police did not pursue any violations of mandated reporting laws against school employees because he believed they reported the site after they found out about it. If any such victims are found, he said the case will be returned to the local Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Police and Acalanes Union High School District officials are trying to spread the message to students that uploading nude photos of girls under 18 is a crime, violating state laws related to lewd and lascivious activity and child pornography, King said.ĭropbox saved the images and forwarded them to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to see whether any of the photos involve girls who were reported missing or who were taken advantage of, he said. Many of the photos were self-taken, but the majority appeared to have been uploaded by someone else, such as a boyfriend or friend, King said. “So, I think it was kind of a prank at times.” “I think they were attaching names to pictures and saying, ‘This is so-and-so,’ and then it wasn’t,” he said. Nagel said teens today appear to treat some activities involving smartphones as “pranks.” Orinda police found that some of the photos were labeled with the names of other people, which appeared to be considered a joke. In 2012, administrators at Piedmont High found out about a sex fantasy league that involved boys in varsity sports racking up “points” for participating in sexual activity with girls at the school.
