A 17-year-old Griffin High School student has been charged with production and distribution of child pornography after allegedly sending an explicit video of another student in a school lunchroom, Griffin police told Channel 2 Action News.

It is unknown if the video was sent to multiple devices or a single device.

The subject of the video was a 15-year-old student and it was made by a 17-year-old classmate. The gender of the students has not been confirmed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The school’s resource officer was notified by administrators that an explicit video had been AirDropped in the lunchroom, Channel 2 reported. AirDrop is an Apple feature that allows users to send photos or videos to other iPhone or iMac devices.

The student is being held at the Spalding County Jail. The phone with the original recording was turned over to police, Channel 2 reported.

The identities of the students are not being released due to the nature of the case.
