BY-NC-SA Dozens of nude and semi-nude photos of female classmates and other local girls were discovered on the cell phone of a Wisconsin high school freshman. The 14-year old has been charged with multiple felonies, in a case that began when one fellow student charged that the boy had a nude picture of her on his phone. School officials contacted the police who were given the phone as evidence, which is when the real trouble for the schoolyard blackmailer began:
The initial report proved to be the tip of the iceberg. During a forensic analysis of a SD memory chip retrieved from the cell phone, police retrieved 80 nude and semi-nude photos of between 35 and 50 young women. However, police were only able to identify 7 of the victims. The student's iPod was also seized, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation was reportedly unable to locate any contraband on the MP3 device.
In an interview with the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal-Sentinel, Greenfield police Deputy Inspector Brad Wentlandt said that the young man apparently obtained the photos by telling girls that if they did not send nude photos of themselves, he would spread rumors about them or send out photos of their friends that he had already collected. All of the victims were between the ages of 13 and 15.
The young man faces ten felony charges, including that of a second degree sexual assault of a 13-year-ol girl, and prosecutors expect that number to go up as they continue their investigation.
