Stokes is charged with two counts of risk of injury to a minor and she was released after posting a $2,500 bond.

This news comes days after a Naugatuck middle school student was charged with possession of child pornography by a minor.

In that particular case, police say on Sept. 11, the female juvenile was arrested on a warrant for allegedly sending and receiving inappropriate pictures via a cell phone.

Fox CT reports that the teen sent a nude photo of herself to another teen, and that a parent saw the picture and contacted police.
