Student Emails Offensive Pic to High School Student Body, Staff

FRANKLIN, Ind. — A student used a school computer to email "a picture of a man's genitals" to 2,400 students, faculty and staff members of Franklin Community High School, according to TV station WISH in Indianapolis.

Students reported the email and a school IT specialist was able to retract the emails after "about 100" people had opened it. The specialist then isolated the computer that sent the email and consulted surveillance video to identify who was sitting at the computer when the email was sent.

The school's principal, Craig McCaffrey, told WISH that the student was using another student's user name and password. "He didn't deny it, " McCaffrey said. "He said he kind of did it as a joke."

The student — who has not been identified — has been suspended for 10 days and may be expelled for the rest of the year, and police are preparing the case to send to the county prosecutor, who told WISH that two crimes seem to have been committed, computer trespass and dissemination of material that may be harmful to a minor.

"If you give pictures of nude people to kids, that's a crime," prosecutor Lance Hamner said.
