Current event #7: Teen accused of posting nude photos to instagram due in court

An 18-year-old teenager was said to have posted nude pictures of other teens on Instagram and "this case goes back several months and involves the arrests of his parents. Police started investigating Peter Kiever in October, and arrested him last week" (WSOC) and is going to face a judge on Monday. Peter has been charged with "14 felony sex crimes" (WSOC). His parents resisted the officers, which is why they were arrested.

This is related to school in general because this teen was a student accused of putting nude pictures of other students online. Someone in our school could have been accused of the exact same thing and it is a scary thing because it is illegal to take pictures of someone naked without their permission or when they don't know about it. It is also something that could happen anywhere.

 I believe that something should be done about this even if he really didn't post those pictures, someone should find out who did it and punish them because it is wrong to take nude pictures of others that would be embarrassed or upset about it. This event affects me by making me feel more conscious about my surroundings and what goes on around me and other people's actions. I do not agree with posting nude pictures of other people.
