Police in Yucaipa are looking for four teenage boys who posted nude and semi-nude photos of at least eight girls on a social networking site.<\/p>\n
\n The incident, which involved students at Yucaipa\u2019s 9th Grade Campus, came to light Monday when police were notified of a website showing illicit photos of the 14- and 15-year-old girls.<\/p>\n
The photos had been freely sent by the girls to their friends, said Arden Wiltshire, spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff\u2019s
\nDepartment. But then someone posted them on a major website, which was not identified.<\/p>\n
\nThe practice of sending nude or semi-nude photos via cellphone or computer\u00a0 is known as "sexting."
\nWiltshire said statistics show one in five teenagers have done it \u2013 22% of teen girls and 18% of boys.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Fifteen percent of teenage boys send racy photos of their ex-girlfriends far and wide once they break up, she said.

The suspects in this case are four 15-year-old boys. They are being sought for possession of harmful matter depicting a person under 18 and sexual exploitation of a minor. <\/p>\n
