Nude camphone pictures trigger criminal investigation

Pictures of naked middle-school girls that classmates forwarded on their cell phones have triggered a criminal investigation. DenverPost.com reports.

"... Girls at Castle Rock Middle School took naked pictures of themselves on their cell phones and then sent them to their boyfriends. The boys then forwarded the pictures to their friends.

Dozens of students at the school, which includes seventh and eighth grades, have already been implicated in the forwarding of the pictures. The Internet Crimes Against Children team of the Castle Rock Police is investigating.

Publishing nude pictures of minors on the Internet, either on pornographic sites or on sites like MySpace or Facebook, classifies as sexual exploitation of a child, a class 4 felony."
