Silicon Valley high school students used a Dropbox account to share sexually explicit photos, police say

Students from multiple Silicon Valley high schools shared and distributed sexually explicit images of other teenagers via an online file-sharing account, police said.

Mountain View police have been investigating the Dropbox file-sharing account, which has been frozen to prevent users from uploading, sharing and downloading images, department spokeswoman Katie Nelson said.

The police probe into the file-sharing account, which was first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, was launched in late August when administrators at Mountain View High School learned about it, she said.
