We’re told at least ten kids in the Schoolcraft Community Schools system received pornographic imagery via Snapchat.  It’s a photo sharing app that has grown in popularity among teenagers.

Police believe there are more victims out there.  They believe the images are coming from one person, or one source, and they have some of the victims’ phones to try and determine the origin.

The first reports were made during the week that began on April 13.

School officials are aware of the investigation and are cooperating fully with police.
