BURRILLVILLE, R.I. — The teenage girls may have believed that their intimate photos would stay private.
However, more than 40 girls at Burrillville High School have learned the hard way that there is no privacy on the internet, after their “sexually explicit” photos and videos ended up in an online “Dropbox” site — which police say was controlled by a local 16-year-old boy and shared with his friends.
Dropbox is a free online storage service that allows users to share and store files such as photos, documents and videos. Police say this one happened to contain more than 100 photos and videos of local girls as young as 13 — and most were sexually explicit.
Some of these photos have since ended up on a Russian pornography site, “and there’s not a damn thing we can do,” said Police Col. Stephen J. Lynch.
I’m wondering why a story like this is posted to this site. There is no content in the article relating to our larger cause of advocating for Constitutional laws for RO’s. It is a sad story of girls trust being betrayed by a-hole teenage guys. Now if there is a follow up article about their sentencing and/or registration requirements being punitive or lifetime that would be better suited for this site as it deals with issues we face and are trying to reform.
