Nude Photo Scandal
On Feb. 13th, 2013, The Middleton Cross Plains Area School District has sent an email to parents informing them of the ongoing investigation into Underage Nude Photos being shared.
"We have been and will continue to cooperate with Middleton Police as they continue their investigation. We have also been working tirelessly to support our students who have been impacted by the investigation. We know this has been a very emotional week for our students so please encourage your child to seek out our student services staff if they need additional support." [3]
The Wisconsin Department of Justice has since taken over the investigation. Currently, 20 students who have been suspended due to students sharing nude photos of underage students are being investigated. [4]
