Officials in the Neshaminy School District and detectives from the Middletown Township Police Department are investigating alleged “inappropriate photos” of students that were circulated this week.
The investigation involves several students at the high school who “allegedly possessed inappropriate photo texts of a sexual nature,” district officials said. Police said the photos are reported to be nude images of students.

The news comes less than a week after police took an incident report over “inappropriate comments” about students are being posted on the anonymous Yik Yak app. The district also launched an investigation and sent an email to parents at the high school. Bartorilla said he does not believe the two incidents are connected.
