Yesterday evening, the District became aware of a social media account that linked to a website of AI-generated photos of female students. The photos depicted naked women with Exeter students’ faces. The account has since been deleted.

The Administration immediately reported this information to the Exeter Police Department. In addition to reporting it to the authorities, this incident was also reported to Berks County Children and Youth Services. The High School staff was also briefed on the situation and was prepared to help assist students who wanted support.

The High School Administration has contacted the families of each of the students who may have been a victim of this post. If you were not contacted and believe your child is a victim, please contact the Exeter Police Department (610-779-1490) and the High School Administration (610-779-3060). Counseling has been made available for students who were impacted by this incident; should your child wish to speak to a counselor, please encourage your child to reach out for help and support.

If your child has information about this incident, we encourage you to contact the Exeter Police Department or use Safe2Say (844-723-2729 or www.safe2saypa.org). Creating or distributing child pornography–even if AI-generated–is a criminal act that is punishable by law that can result in criminal charges and prosecution. We encourage you to talk to your children about internet safety. Please see this information from the FBI for more tips on how to keep your children safe while online.
