CHARLTON, MASS. (AP) - Police in Massachusetts say part of a website has been shut down after it featured “hijacked” Facebook pictures of teenage girls from dozens of high schools and posted them on the site featuring child pornography.
Charlton PoliceLt. Carl Ekman says he was told parts of the website were taken down Thursday. Police say the site featured 17 girls who attend Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School in Charlton and other schools across Massachusetts.
Bay Path’s Superintendent-Director David Papagni says parents alerted officials at the school about 50 miles west of Boston.
The photos of the fully-clothed girls contained information that could be used to identify the teens. The website is hosted in Ohio, but its servers are in eastern Europe.
The FBI says it’s reviewing the situation.
