Overview
- Detectives opened the case on August 26 after male students reportedly shared AI-made nude images of female classmates on a school bus and at school.
- A male student was charged on September 15 with 10 counts of unlawful dissemination of images created by artificial intelligence, and the investigation remains open with possible additional charges.
- The school board amended the girl’s expulsion to allow her return on probation through January, with the superintendent saying her actions were difficult to defend even as he acknowledged she was also a victim.
- Board member Valerie Bourgeois defended the discipline decision, while another member said the bus video was disturbing and weighed heavily in deliberations.
- Attorneys for the girl say they will sue the school board for failing to protect her and not stopping the sharing of images, a claim the district disputes by asserting it followed reporting protocols.
