New Hampshire is the latest state where there have been reports of teens passing around via cellphones nude photos of peers. “Students at Salem High School were allegedly circulating graphic photos of fellow, underage female students among themselves via cell phone, prompting a police investigation,” the New Hampshire Union Leader reports. Police said photos of at least two girls were disseminated by both boys and girls to a “significant number of students” but not throughout the entire student body of 2,300. The Caledonian Record later reported that “police, prosecutors and school officials … are warning students that … taking, possessing and distributing explicit pictures of children is a crime.” The school held an assembly Monday night to inform students that the photos constituted “pornography,” the Eagle-Tribune reported, leaving “at least one parent” upset that it did more to spread rumors than provide facts.
