The teens, both sixteen years old and students at Swansboro High School, were arraigned on one count each of Misdemeanor Disclosure of Private Images, a Class 1 misdemeanor under North Carolina law. As both students are minors, they are being charged with a misdemeanor; were they over eighteen, that charge would be a felony.
A class one misdemeanor carries up to 120 days in jail and/or a fine. North Carolina law provides for civil penalties as well as criminal charges in these cases, so one or both students may face a civil trial as well.
A Facebook post from the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office says an officer was notified that a nude photo of a teacher was in circulation at Swansboro High School on April 18th. An investigation of the incident pointed to Anderson and Luckenbaugh as the originators of the illicit image.
Both students were arrested April 26th. Bond was set at $5000 each. They’ll be back in court on June 15th.
