FARMINGTON HILLS — On Nov. 11, Farmington Hills Police Chief Jeff King issued a statement about a North Farmington High School student being arrested for posting photographs of a nonsexual nature of female students to a pornographic website.
“The Farmington Hills Police Department School Liaison Officer, in conjunction with North Farmington High School Administrators and the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office, identified the offense and arrested the 17-year-old juvenile suspect within 24 hours of receiving the first complaint,” on Nov. 9, King stated in the release. “The suspect was taken to the Police Department and later released to the custody of his parents. Our department continues to work with North Farmington High School Administrators, the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office and the Department of Homeland Security to investigate all matters relating to this incident.”

“The posting of images to websites with the intent to terrorize, frighten, intimidate, harass or molest is a crime,” he stated. “Investigators will aggressively pursue these matters to the full extent of the law. The Farmington Hills Police Department approaches all issues involving our residents, including our students and youth, with a victim-centered focus, providing the highest level of discretion, thoroughness and professionalism. As in every case, a criminal charge is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.”
