Mount Si High School Principal John Belcher wrote to parents Thursday, Feb. 12, that a student at the school was arrested for allegedly having “inappropriate photos of others” on his electronic devices and sharing them via social media. He also urged students who may have information, or who may have been victimized by the accused student, to report what they know.

“If there are other people that feel victimized, please come forward,” he said in a phone conversation with the Record.

Parents and students can contact School Resource Officer Kim Stonebraker at (425) 831-8115 or send e-mail to stonebrakerk@svsd410.org.

Snoqualmie Police Department is conducting the investigation, and Police Chief Steve McCulley said Thursday that the department has enlisted the help of the Washington State Patrol’s Missing and Exploited Children Task Force. Also, he said, the department had been working with the King County Prosecutor’s office to build a case on the student’s alleged activities.

Officials have not determined what charges might be brought against the student. Cyber-bullying and child pornography are possibilities, said McCulley. “We’re trying to figure out what exactly happened.”

According to Belcher’s message to parents, “police believe most of this activity took place at home on the student’s personal devices.”

Belcher noted that the incident presented parents an opportunity to discuss the risks of sharing photos on social media with their children. He also suggested parents contact the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center at (425) 226-5062 or www.kcsarc.org with questions and concerns.

The student has been suspended.
