North Penn Grad Pleads Guilty To Sharing Nudes Of Classmates

LANSDALE, PA -- A former North Penn High School student has pleaded guilty to hosting an account on Dropbox.com that contained nude photos of several current and former students, according to court documents.

Brandon Tyler Berlin, 18, of Montgomery Township, was arrested in September.

He entered a guilty plea to the misdemeanor charge of Transmission of Sexually Explicit Images by Minor - With Intent to Coerce and Intimidate, court documents state, and has been sentenced to two years of probation.

A juvenile female first reported Berlin's website to Ambler police to March 7, 2015, according to the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office.

The website contained numerous sexually explicit pictures of females, many of them under the age of 18, and many of them current or former students at North Penn High School, the DA said.

Berlin received the photographs from sources other than himself, but it was Berlin alone who took the “extraordinary step” of compiling the images and putting them online, according to the DA.

Berlin then sent the link out to others to view the graphic images, the DA said.

Within the Drop Box account, the folder that had many of the graphic images was entitled “I prolly had ur pics,” according to the DA.

This was Berlin’s senior year quote in the 2015 North Penn High School yearbook, the DA said.

In addition to probation, Berlin was assessed a $250 fine and 200 hours of community service, according to court records.
