KAMLOOPS (NEWS1130) – Kamloops RCMP could release more details today about an investigation in that city involving several public school students.
Cpl. Cheryl Bush describes the incident as an exchange of inappropriate material.
Bush says investigators are considering a range of charges, including the production and distribution of child pornography, harassement and uttering threats. Bush says the students involved are under 18.
She says officers are working closely with the Kamloops-Thompson School District and parents to ensure the safety of the children involved.
District Supt. Terry Sullivan says educators learned of the material on Friday and very quickly made the decision to call police.
He says the district is taking the matter very seriously and measures could include support and counselling for some of the youths, but the consequences could be more serious for others.
