Police are investigating a child pornography ring at Melbourne prince school St Michaels.
A 16-year-old male student at the school reportedly created a Dropbox folder containing elicit photos of seven girls at the St Kilda school.
A student is believed to have reported the incident to the school, who them referred the matter on to police.
Victoria Police have confirmed detectives Moorabbin SOCIT are investigating “inappropriate images being distributed by students”.
“While we cannot comment on action taken, we continue to make all decisions according to our behavioural expectations framework, which is based on our core values of dignity, respect, care and compassion,” Head of school Simon Gipson tells The Age.
“We have a strong commitment to supporting the welfare of our students, and we will continue to protect all members of our school community from anti-social behaviour.”
One parent from the school says we need t discuss the negative impact of pornography on impressionable teenagers.
“The boys are creating their own pornography and become desensitised,” the parent told Fairfax.
“We need to have a conversation as a society about the impact of porn on teenage sexuality and respectful relationships.”
Sadly this is just the latest case in a series of scandals involving young male students circulating explicit and offensive content about girls online.
