Joliet Teens Posted Their Own Sex Video to Twitter: Police
Four Joliet Central teens were arrested at the school Friday, according to police.
Four Joliet teen-agers face criminal charges after a parent alerted police to a sex video they posted online. The teens were arrested Friday at Joliet Central High School, Deputy Police Chief Al Roechner told The Times Weekly. Three boys and one girl, ages 14 to 16, are charged with child pornography.
The sex was consensual but the suspects are underage and crossed a serious line by posting it via Twitter last week, thereby making child pornography public and available for viewing, he said. For an adult, the charge would be a Class X felony.
