PORTAGE COUNTY, Ohio -
19 News does not identify victims of sexual assault, but she was okay with her father speaking to us. 19 Investigates asked police for the Snapchat video. At first, we were told they couldn’t find it. So, we requested police body camera video of when officers saw the video themselves. “We know that you sent it to the group chat so initially you’re the one that, if it is child pornography, you’re the one that committed it first and shared it with everybody,” a school resource office told the student.“You were just a kid making a poor decision still it’s a poor decision on your end because you shouldn’t do that,” the officer said.
“I asked them, ‘So you guys are just going to hand this off?’ They said, no, they’re not just handing it off. I would have to call the sheriff’s department, and they would have to restart the whole thing,” the father said.
