BRIAN: IT STARTED WITH ONE 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL AND ONE VIDEO , BUT NOW POLICE BELIEVE THERE ARE NO LESS THAN 20 MORE VICTIMS OF THE SAME 18-YEAR-OLD STUDENT.
IT WAS A SEX VIDEO, INJECTED INTO THE SOCIAL MEDIA BLOOD STREAM OF NORTH COLLEGE HILL HIGH SCHOOL.
>> A MOTHER CAME IN STATING SHE HAD BEEN SENT A VIDEO OF HER 14-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER ENGAGED IN A SEXUAL ACTIVITY WITH AN 18-YEAR-OLD SENIOR AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
BRIAN: NORTH COLLEGE HILL OFFICER LAUREN SHEPHERD SAYS THE GIRL DIDN’T SEE THE CELL PHONE CAMERA.
>> SHE WAS UNAWARE SHE WAS BEING VIDEO RECORDED.
BRIAN: THE SUSPECT, A NORTH COLLEGE HILL SENIOR FOOTBALL PLAYER IS ACCUSED OF SHARING THE VIDEO ON SNAPCHAT WITH ABOUT 10 OTHERS, FROM THERE IT WENT VIRAL AT THE SCHOOL, BUT THEN IT GOT
EVEN WORSE.
POLICE SAY SOMEONE AIRDROPPED THE VIDEO, WHICH MEANS IT WENT DIRECTLY INTO I-PHONES CLOSE BY.
>> BECAUSE OUR HIGH SCHOOL AND OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE CONNECTED, WHEN IT WAS AIRDROPPED, IT WAS RECEIVED BY MIDDLE SCHOOLERS AS WELL.
BRIAN: PARENTS OF KIDS AT THE SCHOOL ARE STUNNED.
>> IT’S CRAZY.
I’VE GOT A 10-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, SHE GOES TO SCHOOL HERE.

INVESTIGATORS FOUND SOMETHING EVEN MORE DISTURBING.
>> WE WENT THROUGH THE PHONE, WE SAW THE ORIGINAL VIDEO IN THERE AS WELL AS 21 OTHER VIDEOS OF HIM AND OTHER GIRLS ENGAGED IN SEXUAL ACTIVITY.
BRIAN: POLICE ARE TRYING TO TRACK DOWN THOSE ADDITIONAL VICTIMS, MEANWHILE, NOW, AN ILLEGAL VIDEO, SHARED ON SOCIAL MEDIA, HAS POLICE SENDING A MESSAGE.
THREE STUDENTS WHO WERE CAUGHT SHARING THE ORIGINAL VIDEO HAVE ALREADY BEEN CHARGED.
POLICE ARE ASKING ANY OF THESE GIRLS WHO THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN A VICTIM TO COME FORWARD NOT ONLY TO GET JUSTICE BUT THIS STORY HAS YET ANOTHER DISCONCERTING TURN.
